I can't die

Conspiracy, can only be said to be a conspiracy in the dark.Conspiracy and tactics can never replace strength to determine the outcome of a gladiatorial fight.

This point of view is also Jiao Youying's teaching of Zaichun. As a king, although sometimes it is inevitable to need some conspiracy to balance the government, but more often, "benevolence" and "uprightness" are the foundation of one's life. The same applies to all leaders.

Obviously, Hong Xiuquan, the master of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who rose from the bottom of society, did not have this quality.On the one hand, he did not have the character of "employing people with no doubts", which led to the renunciation of the kings. On the other hand, he had no courage and did not dare to fight, so he recalled Li Xiucheng from the front line, which led to the fall of Suzhou and Zhejiang.

Of course, it is not only Hong Xiuquan, speaking of this, he also has a king-level general under him, who has brought "short-sighted, greedy and suspicious" to the extreme.That is Shou Wang Miao Peilin.

Miao Peilin (1798-1863), courtesy name Yusan, was born in Fengtai, Anhui.Born as a scholar, he was originally a school teacher. In 1856, a group training was held in the township to fight against the Nian Army (rebel army).Afterwards, his power grew stronger and stronger, and he became so greedy that he withdrew money, food, taxes and lijin from Lianghuai, controlled dozens of counties around Fengtai, and planned to separate himself and rule the roost.

The next year, the Qing Dynasty sensed something was wrong and sent troops to attack. He was afraid of the Qing Dynasty's army and decided to join the Qing Dynasty.

In 1860, taking advantage of the second Opium War, Miao Peilin once again felt that the Qing court was weak, so he changed his flag and expelled Weng Tongshu, Fu Zhenbang, Yuan Jia and other Qing troops from Anhui.Later, Weng Tongshu reconciled and decided to surrender.

In 1861, he saw that the eight ministers of the DPRK and China had no time to take care of the front line due to civil strife, so he raised his troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty again. This time, he directly joined Hong Xiuquan and was named the Shouwang by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

From this resume, it can be seen that this person is a villain with no integrity and loyalty at all. He has repeatedly wavered between the Taiping Army and the Qing Dynasty. As long as it is profitable, he can throw away everything and go offline.

Today, the form of the Taiping Army is much weaker than that of the Qing court.Miao Peilin naturally had another thought.He knew very well that once Tianjing was breached, as a traitor, he would be punished worse than those who originally followed Hong Xiuquan in the uprising.

After much deliberation, Miao Peilin summoned his servants, wrote another secret letter and handed it to Weng Tongshu in Huainan, hoping that this former colleague would offend him again.

Weng Tongshu, a Jinshi in the 20th year of Daoguang, is the elder brother of the current emperor Weng Tonghe, who was born in a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River.When Weng Tongshu received this confidential letter, he was furious.Although he was once a colleague of Miao Peilin, Miao Peilin's betrayal of the Qing court twice was tantamount to slapping him twice in the face, just because he had actually written a love letter for this person.

"My lord, this..."

Looking at the almost ferocious expression on Weng Tong's writing, the staff didn't dare to say more, and asked cautiously.

"Hmph, this villain still wants me to beg for mercy on his behalf? That's good, I will help him with this letter of begging for mercy. I want to see how the emperor will deal with him."

Would Weng Tongshu be so kind as to beg for mercy for Miao Peilin?Since it was impossible, he immediately called his followers and handed over the secret letter to his younger brother Weng Tonghe in the capital through a family letter, and hoped that he would personally hand over the secret letter to the emperor, and incidentally speak before the emperor. It's best to find a way to get rid of this villain in one fell swoop.

When Weng Tonghe received the letter from his elder brother, he was actually a little hesitant.He just showed his face in front of the emperor and became the emperor's teacher, and now he is looking for an opportunity to give someone eye drops, wouldn't it be too good?However, Miao Peilin has indeed betrayed the master repeatedly, and now he is holding a king-level position in the Taiping Army. If he can be bought as an internal response, it may be possible to put down the traitor faster, right?

Thinking of this, Weng Tonghe gradually became interested in doing meritorious service, so he deliberately talked about an allusion-Lu Bu in one day's lecture.

Lu Bu was the number one fierce general in the Three Kingdoms. He was the subordinate of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo successively. Later, he joined forces with Situ Wang Yun to kill Dong Zhuo.After failing to compete with Cao Cao for Yanzhou, Lu Bu attacked Xuzhou and separated one side.He was finally defeated and executed by Cao Cao.

Zai Chun sat on the main seat in the upper study room, listened to Weng Tonghe's historical explanation, narrowed his eyes slightly, couldn't help but raise his legs in a very uncomfortable manner, leaned on the back of the chair, and supported his head with his hands.

This action is very indecent in the royal family. If Jiao Youying was here, he would definitely say Zai Chun, but Weng Tonghe, who was on duty today, this newcomer who was always cautious, chose to remain silent.

"Everyone in the world says that Lu Bu's bravery was the number one in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Many people cherished his talent, but Cao Cao killed him and never surrendered. What does your majesty think?"

"Lu Bu, a slave of the three families, has no loyalty at all, no matter how brave he is, he can only be killed."

Zai Chun said with a smile.

"The emperor's words are sage. If you are unfaithful once, you won't use it a hundred times. That's it."

Zai Chun thought it was even more interesting: "Teacher Weng just mentioned Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty in Shi Ji yesterday, why did he specifically mention the allusion of Lu Fengxian today. But something happened?"

Now the two teachers in the study room can be regarded as having a clear division of labor. Jiao Youying teaches the Confucian classics of the Four Books and Five Classics, and Weng Tonghe teaches the allusions of historical records, and teaches Zaichun the way of being a man and a king from all aspects.

Weng Tonghe knew that the little emperor had seen his ulterior motives, so he was not panicked: "I do have a book to play. This is a secret letter from my brother on the front line."

At that moment, Weng Tonghe respectfully handed over the secret letter to Zai Chun with both hands.Zai Chun took it out and looked at it, but found it a little funny.

It's true that current events make people, and in other peaceful and prosperous times, how could this kind of villain jump up and down, that is, in troubled times, all kinds of ghosts and demons will come out.

"This Miao Peilin is also interesting. He has betrayed the Lord over and over again, yet he still thinks that I, the Qing Dynasty, will forgive him."

Hearing Zai Chun's words, Weng Tonghe remained calm and continued, "The emperor is wise, this man must not be forgiven lightly."

"What does the teacher think?"

"This person is now in a high position in the Taiping Army. Why don't you tell him to instigate those who want to surrender in the Taiping Army and catch them all?"

The cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks.It's vicious, but it's a good strategy.

"It's a good idea, but I'm afraid it's not benevolent enough to just say it out. Since this Miao Peilin wants to surrender, let him bring his subordinates to surrender. There is no need to instigate rebellion. People in the Taiping Army, especially high-ranking ones Most of them have quarrels with Hong Xiuquan, but they are all brainwashed by cults, so it is absolutely impossible for them to surrender to the Qing Dynasty."

"Then forgive him like that?"

Weng Tonghe was puzzled.

"That depends on how far he can go. I know about this matter. Go back and tell your brother and ask him to implement it."

Weng Tonghe could hear the firmness in Zai Chun's tone, and knew that the emperor had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to silently stop mentioning it.Nod your head in response.

However, what he didn't know was that just after he finished his lecture today, Zai Chun immediately wrote an expedited [-]-mile report and sent it to Zeng Guofan on the front line.
