- Chapter 51: Firmness in Both Loyalty and Righteousness
In a valley somewhere in Hexi
At this moment, Dou Mo was skillfully performing the medical skill of crossing the acupuncture points with golden needles. During this period of time, under his acupuncture treatment, Kublai Khan's face, which was originally pale, began to gradually become moisturized. If he were not still unconscious, he would be normal. People are no different. Although they still need to be served and fed with liquid food every day, the courtiers who loyally follow Kublai Khan believe that soon the great Khan of Mongolia and the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty will wake up! []
Looking at Kublai Khan recovering day by day, Dou Mo began to struggle in his heart. When the great scholar in the north accepted Kublai Khan's conscription and joined the Mongols, it was not for fame and wealth, but to preserve the civilization of the Central Plains!
The Mongols killed wantonly in the process of destroying the gold. Everywhere they went, the Mongolian army did not even have time to sleep except killing people, stealing goods, and robbing women. At this time, there was no force in the Central Plains that could compete with the Mongols. , so Dou Mo and a group of northern Confucian scholars joined the revolutionary Mongolian noble Kublai Khan, trying to influence him with Confucianism.
Thanks to the efforts of Dou Mo and others, Kublai Khan began to pay attention to Confucianism. However, as a Mongolian, Kublai Khan only hoped that Confucianism would cultivate a group of talents who could "manage the country and stabilize the people" and let the people of Han Dynasty abide by the "Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules". To consolidate their rule. Throughout the Yuan Dynasty, Confucianism did not rise to a dominant position. Few Mongolian nobles among the court ministers paid attention to Confucianism, so the influence of Confucianism among the top Mongolian officials was never enough.
But the imperial examination, which Confucianism attaches most importance to, has not been restored until this time. The Mongols are not interested in selecting officials through the imperial examination. They prefer to directly appoint Mongolians or Semu people as chief officials! Although the Confucian Han officials had been advocating for the reintroduction of the imperial examination for many years, Kublai Khan believed that the imperial examination was a good law, but he was not particularly interested in it at this time. In addition, the Mongolian ministers unanimously opposed it, and they discussed it many times with different opinions, so the matter was not implemented. Implementation.
People in the Yuan Dynasty were divided into ten grades, and there was a saying of nine Confucians and ten beggars. Confucian scholars were ranked ninth and were only in a better situation than beggars. This statement reflected the fact that the social and political status of Confucian students in the Yuan Dynasty was low. This is exactly what the great Confucians in the North cannot accept!
The imperial examination was a means for Confucians to advance. If they lost the imperial examination, the future of scholars would be ruined. Kublai Khan could not take the imperial examination, which directly cut off the hopes of Dou Mo and others. This was also the biggest conflict between the northern Confucian scholars and the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty. The contradiction!
Therefore, after Liu Fuheng established the Han Dynasty, the Confucian Han officials in the old Yuan Dynasty defected to the Han Dynasty one after another. This had nothing to do with integrity!
But no matter what, Kublai Khan was kind to Dou Mo!
At this time, Dou Mo's vision became more determined. He wanted to save Kublai Khan and repay his kindness in the way of righteousness! But at the same time, Dou Mo is now a minister of the Han Dynasty, and Kublai Khan is the biggest enemy of the Han Dynasty. He must eradicate this enemy and be loyal to the Han Dynasty!
In this way, loyalty and righteousness are both fulfilled!
Seeing Kublai Khan's face becoming more moisturized, Yue Chicha'er, Ai Buhua, Qi Du and other old ministers all had happy expressions on their faces, completely unaware of the firm look in Dou Mo's eyes. If Yue Chicha'er and others could capture Dou Mo's gaze at this moment will reveal that this is a generous decision to die!

Taiyuan
Liu Huai and his party arrived at Taiyuan Mansion, which is the administrative seat of Hedong. A large amount of grain, grass and military supplies were gathered here, and then continuously transported to Shizhou.
Today's Hedong Governor is Wang Chengye. He was a general under Liu Fuheng and a member of Wang Xiaozhong's tribe. In the early days of the founding of the Han Dynasty, there was an extreme shortage of officials, so Wang Chengye was in charge of both the army and the people. Hedong Governor had 30,000 Hedong troops under his command.
Wang Chengye did not dare to neglect Liu Huai's arrival. He traveled thirty miles out of the city to greet him. The welcoming team was quite large, and the number of entourages was eye-catching. There were welcoming entourages along the way, and the pomp could be said to be quite large.
Regarding all this, Liu Huai acted quite indifferent. He did not reprimand him cynically, nor did he happily accept Wang Chengye's flattery. He was riding on a tall horse, listening to Wang Chengye's flattery without comment, while observing the sides with interest. People lined the streets to welcome him with "joyful faces".
Bureaucracy plus formality!
I¡¯m afraid this Wang Chengye is not a good bird!
Liu Huai came to the conclusion from the slightly stiff faces of the people, but on the surface there was no change at all!
Liu Huai would not interfere with the Hedong governor's actions as long as he did not encounter him. Naturally, there would be laws to deal with it, and the envoy station set up by the Han Dynasty was not for free.
But Liu Huai happened to meet him!
Not long after entering Taiyuan City, someone suddenly rushed out of the road to complain, accusing Wang Chengye, the Hedong assassin, of embezzlement, specializing in amassing money, and occupying fields and houses!
In later TV series, generally??When the emperor or ministers go on patrol, someone must cry out for injustice. Liu Huai finally encountered this bloody situation!
Wang Chengye looked livid. He had already had people control these expected "petitioner" households in advance. Along the way, he forced the people to welcome him in the streets, pretending to be a harmonious scene of singing and dancing. He also made many arrangements in the city. Unexpectedly, someone actually escaped from his control and came to His Highness the Crown Prince to complain!
It¡¯s really a secret!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given an order to bring all the people back to the mansion for interrogation!"
With the dispatch of the Tiger Guards under Liu Huai's command, Wang Chengye's complexion became even more ugly, and the sweat on his head began to break out unknowingly!
*************************************************
Lin'an, Southern Song Dynasty
Jia Sidao's memorial was delivered directly to the Queen Mother Xie. Although Jia Sidao was demoted again and again at this time, as a prominent Duke of Wei, he still enjoyed the power to secretly submit the memorial and directly go to heaven to hear it!
After reading Jia Sidao¡¯s secret book, Xie Dao sighed leisurely.
When Jia Sidao was defeated and his country was defeated, the government and the public were shocked and the public was furious. Prime Minister Chen Yizhong petitioned to have Jia Sidao killed. Xie Daoqing did not agree and just dismissed Jia Sidao from office. The reason was very simple, because she knew that she was in a high place. , the Song Dynasty's finances had been overdrawn to the limit, and the state treasury did not even have money to pay officials' salaries!
The country is on the verge of collapse!
At this time, Jia Sidao came out to buy public land and expropriated a large amount of land from powerful landlords. This offended many people. The people hated him, the officials hated him, and the scholars hated him, but the country benefited. ! To a certain extent, it can be said that Jia Sidao single-handedly turned the tide and created his reputation as a traitor!
Jia Sidao only mentioned two things in his secret compromise. The first was that Li Tingzhi's Li Tingzhi and the Huai clan were in charge of military affairs and were too powerful. The second was that the friction between Li Tingzhi in Huaibei and the Han army created hatred. Jia Sidao I hope that I can send an envoy to the Han Dynasty to resolve the conflict, because Xiangyang Pass in the Southern Song Dynasty has not yet been recovered at this time, so it is not appropriate to make too many enemies!
Both of these things touched Xie Daoqing¡¯s heart!
Li Tingzhi acted somewhat arbitrarily, for example, he ignored the old generals who surrendered to the Mongols as long as they returned to the Song Dynasty, and made decisions without even asking the Song court for instructions, even though Xie Daoqing also knew that this was a quick and effective way to stabilize the situation! But Li Tingzhi didn't even send a request for instructions at that time. After pardoning these demoted generals, Shanshan belatedly issued a memorial.
This made Xie Daoqing very dissatisfied!
The basic national policy of the Song Dynasty was to strengthen the centralized system!
The history of the Tang and Five Dynasties taught the rulers of the Song Dynasty a great lesson. Therefore, after the Song Dynasty conquered the world, it focused its main attention on how to prevent usurpation by important civil and military ministers, how to prevent the loss of personnel, finance, military and political power, etc. It is forbidden for officials to compete with each other to form a party based on various reasons, how to eliminate existing or potential local separatist forces, and even form centrifugal forces in the centralized system, etc., which are fundamental issues related to the country.
Therefore, at the level of the entire imperial personnel work, constraints were set up everywhere, and strategies of adding sand, throwing stones, and poaching were used to prevent one person from becoming dominant. The appointment of officials and the implementation of the principles of civil and military control, internal and external dangers, and conflict between superiors and subordinates clearly reflect the ruler's good intentions of "not wanting to confuse each other with different opinions, that is, no one dares to do anything wrong."
This was also the "political wisdom" produced by the Song Dynasty based on that era, a combination and compromise of rational administration and empirical philosophy at the high-end decision-making level.
The emperor is young, and Xie Daoqing, who listens to politics behind the curtain, naturally has a deep understanding of the situation.
Among the four Pingzhang military affairs (equivalent to prime minister), Lu Xiufu is Li Tingzhi's subordinate. Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu are very close, and they have always supported Li Tingzhi, and his influence among the civil servants suddenly accounts for 50%.
The most exaggerated thing is the military. Li Tingzhi in the north of the Yangtze River had as many as 350,000 soldiers and horses, while Zhang Shijie in the south of the Yangtze River also came from Li Tingzhi. Now Zhang Shijie has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.
It can be said that more than half of the military strength of the Southern Song Dynasty and the most elite soldiers were in the hands of Li Tingzhi!
Although Xie Daoqing is not stupid and cannot burn bridges by crossing rivers, it is still necessary to take precautions!
The art of checks and balances! It is always the best way for a king to rule.
It is a good choice to support Jia Sidao's family again. At present, the Song Dynasty's finances are beginning to make ends meet again. Although Zhao Ruohe, a member of the royal family, is capable, it is unrealistic to expect him to make up for the Song Dynasty's shortfalls!
As soon as he thought of this, Xie Daoqing immediately stroked his pen on Jia Sidao's secret fold!
