[Rebirth] Emperor Yonggao Ji

"Jing Huan, it's snowing." Liu Fu smiled, and after a while, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, revealing some doubts, "I haven't changed my cotton clothes yet, the snow came too early this year."

"When the sky turns against the times, it becomes a disaster, and when the earth turns against things, it turns into a demon. When the weather changes suddenly, your majesty should be on guard."

Liu Fu crossed his arms and sneered, "It snows every year, but this year is earlier than usual, Jing Huan needn't make a fuss. The rice was harvested a few days ago, and now the land is barren. I think this snow is a good thing."

Wang Sheng frowned, obviously still not at ease, but he also knew that once the number of days was not convincing, he didn't say anything else.Liu Fu patted him on the shoulder with a smile, took him by the hand and walked into the pavilion to avoid the snow, "Jing Huan, you don't know, a while ago the admonishing doctor bet me that the snow fell strangely this year. It is said that there will be great chaos in Kanto. If there is snow and they will be in chaos, then I really look forward to snowing earlier every year."

Wang Sheng's heart moved, "Your Majesty, what this person said may not be impossible."

Liu Fu laughed loudly, "My good prime minister, how come you are the same as the Shizhao who read the ephemeris? Come, drink some hot tea." The two of them are not the only ones in Taiye Pool, they are standing together in the stone pavilion. After sitting down, the palace servants brought hot tea.The snow fell more and more heavily, falling into the pool water one after another, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, making Taiye Pool like a big bowl of hot tea.Liu Fu was blowing his tea, turned to see that Wang Sheng had already started to drink, remembered what Li Taiyi said, and called the palace servants to give some instructions.

Wang Sheng put down his tea suddenly, and asked, "Your Majesty once said that it snowed in Luoyang when the teacher was in class?"

Liu Fu nodded, "That's right, that's when I made a bet with Doctor Jianyi."

Wang Sheng stood up, walked around twice, and murmured to himself in a low voice: "I'm so sick and confused, why didn't I notice..." He suddenly stopped, knelt down on the seat in front of Liu Fu, Staring at Liu Fu closely, "Your Majesty, the rice in Chang'an has been harvested. The first snow fell in Luoyang half a month ago. Has the rice in Luoyang been harvested?"

Liu Fu was taken aback, and slowly said: "Jing'er's letter didn't specifically mention this matter... I think Luoyang should grab the late rice harvest, so there won't be a famine."

"It snowed half a month ago in Luoyang, what about the north of Changhe?"

Liu Fu's expression changed, and he suddenly stood up, "Zhao Guo!"

"Your Majesty! The King of Zhao sent a letter asking for help!" As soon as Liu Fu finished speaking, he heard the report from the palace man. Liu Fu hurriedly opened the letter, read it at a glance, laughed twice, and slapped the document fiercely. He fell on the table, "The Zhao country is suffering a famine, God help me!"

Wang Sheng picked up the documents on the table, looked at them, put them down, frowned, and looked up at Liu Fu, "Your Majesty wants to send troops to attack Zhao at this time?"

Liu Fu clenched his fists and said with a smile: "This is a golden opportunity that comes only once in a hundred years. How can I let it go? If God doesn't take it, I will take the blame instead!"

Wang Sheng shook his head, "Your Majesty, I do not agree with your Majesty sending troops at this time."

"I know, Jing Huan is going to persuade me to be a teacher of benevolence and righteousness again, isn't he?" Liu Fu smiled and didn't take it seriously. He held the sky-blue water-white crane cloak in his hand, admired it for a while, then turned to Wang Sheng and said, "The weather is suddenly cold, and Jing Huan is weak. Don't suffer from old illnesses again. I brought this back from Luoyang Palace. Give it to you to keep out the cold."

"Thank you, my lord." Wang Sheng didn't refuse, lowered his head, stretched out his arms and was about to take it, but Liu Fu gently blocked his hand, reached behind his back, shook his crane cloak around his shoulders, "You can put it on now——Jing Huan, why aren't you moving your hands?" Wang Sheng didn't speak, and slowly raised his hands into his sleeves.Seeing that he was dressed, Liu Fu neatly tied a knot on his front, patted the wide sleeves hanging down lightly, looked him up and down, and praised: "Not bad!"

When he saw this crane cloak in Luoyang, he liked it very much, but he himself was never afraid of the cold, so he wanted to give it to Wang Sheng if he didn't need it.He reckoned that Wang Sheng would look good in it, but he didn't expect that on the day when he was given the crane cloak, it was just in time for the court meeting. Wang Sheng was wearing a purple court dress, which was blue on the outside and purple on the inside. It was like the flowers in the royal garden were competing for beauty in front of his eyes.Liu Fu clicked his tongue inwardly, but hid the fact from Wang Sheng, and praised without changing his face: "Jing Huan looks good in this!"

Wang Sheng smiled slightly, "I heard: the man who wears the clothes of the man is worried about others, and I am deeply favored by the king, so I dare not say nothing. Zhao Guo——"

Seeing that this topic was still on the topic, Liu Fu couldn't make him forget about it even by dressing him himself. It seemed that Wang Sheng was determined to disagree. When he heard him talk again, Liu Fu quickly raised his hand Interrupted him, "Jing Huan, this matter will be discussed at the Zichen Palace in a while, and all the generals will be called here."

Wang Sheng said indifferently: "The generals will definitely take the lead in the battle, everyone said: I am willing to be the vanguard and the king to attack Zhao."

"Aren't I afraid that literati don't know about military aircraft..." Liu Fu was exposed by one sentence, and said awkwardly, "Then call Kuai Mao, and he won the bet, so he must be complacent." Liu Fu recommended himself from Kuai Mao Mao At that time, it was seen that this person was a bit aggressive, and he was the best at seizing opportunities. I guess he should be able to support him in defeating Zhao. Moreover, this person has seen the facts and is eloquent. When the time comes, let him debate with Wang Sheng, and I will be by the side. Watch the fun.

Wang Sheng had no objection this time, so Liu Fu sent someone to tell the admonishing doctor Kuai Mao, the side general Sun Yuan, and the right general Liu Hao to go to the Zichen Hall to discuss matters, and he and Wang Sheng also rushed to the Zichen Hall in a walking chariot.

Liu Fu sat at the front, Wang Sheng sat on the side, Kuai Mao arrived first, his eyes stopped on Wang Sheng for a while, and after saluting with Liu Fu and Wang Sheng, he sat down.Then there was Sun Yuan, who respectfully saluted Liu Fu: "Your Majesty", then turned to Wang Sheng, was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Prime Minister." Liu Hao was the last one to arrive, striding forward, After saluting with the two of them, they sat down and didn't notice anything else.

On the side, Wang Sheng silently took off the crane cloak, folded it and put it aside.

Liu Fu turned his gaze back, cleared his throat, and said, "Last year, there was a severe drought, and the harvests in various places were not good. This year, the snow fell much earlier than in previous years. However, the harvest in Guanzhong was good, and the rice was finally harvested before the snow. The snow in Hebei is even worse. Earlier, the heavy snow that fell a month ago crushed the rice. They only harvested once a year, and they didn’t receive any food, so there was a famine. Now Zhao Wang sent a letter to me to ask for help, and I called you here to discuss—— King Zhao, should we save him or beat him?"

As soon as the words fell, Liu Hao shouted: "Hit! Of course it is! Such a good opportunity, why save him? Let him catch his breath before hitting us again?"

Liu Fu glanced at Wang Sheng with a rather smug look on his face.Although he, the uncle of the Liu family, is also a relative of the Liu family, the officials and titles are all fought in the barracks with real swords and guns. From the fact that the other Liu families are all feudal lords, only he is an official to the right general. Characters are different from him.

"Your Majesty, I think..." Kuai Mao spoke, Liu Fu hurriedly turned his head away, and heard him continue: "It is not time to attack Zhao."

Liu Fu was taken aback, "Why?"

"In the past, Gaozu won the world with benevolence and righteousness. Everyone called him: Peigong, the elder, and then he scrambled to join him. Therefore, after each defeat, his crowd became wider. Xiang Yu had 10 soldiers, and he would win every battle and die in one battle. , because of its loss of morality, the people will not be attached to it."

"Fart! Han Gaozu won the world because of Han Xin." Liu Hao interrupted.

"Han Xin did nothing in Chu, but he was able to prosper in Han. Doesn't it depend on the virtue of Gaozu?"

After all, Liu Hao didn't read as much as Kuai Mao. He didn't know that Han Xin was working under Xiang Yu as a halberd master, so he was speechless for a while.Kuai Mao continued: "The king shows benevolence and righteousness to the world, and he will be able to win the world with benevolence and righteousness. If you break your faith and betray your righteousness, the attitude of a tiger and wolf will be fully displayed. Although you have the advantage of being a soldier, you may not be able to win the Central Plains."

After saying that, Kuai Mao closed his eyes, and then said nothing, his expression was rather haughty, obviously he had seen what Liu Fu was thinking, and he was very dissatisfied with it.Liu Fu didn't care about his expression, and didn't comment on his words, and asked Sun Yuan, "General, what do you think?"

Sun Yuan had the lowest official position here, so he wanted to wait until everyone had finished speaking before speaking. At this time, he heard Liu Fu's question, thought for a while and said, "I think what the admonishing doctor said is reasonable, but it's just what General You said. Zhao's timing is not unreasonable in Yichen's opinion..."

"Then you are advocating the defeat of Zhao." Liu Fu concluded without waiting for him to finish.He didn't expect that Kuai Mao, whom he had placed high hopes on, would unite the front with Wang Sheng, so it didn't matter what Sun Yuan said. When confronted with Wang Sheng and Kuai Mao, Sun Yuan and Liu Hao probably said a complete sentence. not finished.

"Your Majesty, I have two questions." Wang Sheng finally spoke.

"Prime Minister, please tell me." Liu Fu still did not give up, and braced himself to meet the enemy.

"First, the king wants to attack Zhao, where do the soldiers come from?"

Liu Fu straightened his back, "I have 18 infantry and cavalry, all of whom have experienced hundreds of battles; I have 20 new recruits, who can also go out with the army; and I have recruited 43 Wei soldiers, a total of [-]. What does the prime minister mean by soldiers? "

"Your Majesty, why are you joking!" Wang Sheng was merciless, causing Kuai Mao to raise his eyelids and look at him, and then he heard Wang Sheng say again: "There are 18 soldiers in the country, 3 were stationed in Chang'an before, and the rest 15 people fought thousands of miles with the king in the last month. Although there was no battle, they were already a tired army. Fifty thousand new recruits have not yet formed an army. ?As for the 20 Wei soldiers, they all looked at each other with the king. The king was still suspicious with a benevolent heart. .Why did Admiral Wang attack Zhao?"

Liu Fu remained silent, but Wang Sheng asked again without pausing: "Secondly, when the king attacked Zhao, did he want to get his land? Do he want to get his people?"

Liu Fu moved on his seat, "It's what the Turkic people did to snatch the population; if they get the land and no one will cultivate it, even if it is abandoned, they will not be able to keep it. I will attack Zhao, naturally both the land and the population will be wanted." .”

"The folk customs in Hebei are fierce, and everyone is brave. If you can't borrow food from the king, but you are attacked instead, people must have a heart of anger and the ambition to fight to the death. If the whole country rises and works together, how can the king win? Our pawns? With suspicious people? With [-] new troops? If the king finally wins, a few months later, half of the people of Zhao will die of hunger, and Zhao's soldiers will either die or be injured, and the food and grass that I have lost, and the soldiers that have been damaged will be even worse. I don't know how much. The king's gain is more important than the king's loss?"

Liu Fu was silent again, got up and walked slowly, suddenly heaved a long sigh, turned around abruptly, glanced at Kuai Mao Wang Sheng, gritted his teeth and said: "The famine in Zhao country, I really have nothing to gain from it." Pictureable?"

Kuai Mao took the words, and said indifferently: "Your Majesty can gain the name of benevolence and righteousness, make the world return to one's heart, and heroes will be attached to each other. It is better than using prose to argue a hundred times. What does it mean to be unprofitable?"

These words vaguely pointed to Wang Sheng, and Wang Sheng looked back at him calmly, while Kuai Mao still half closed his eyelids, as if he didn't realize it.Wang Sheng turned his gaze back and was about to speak when Liu Hao said angrily, "The name of benevolence and righteousness has a purpose!"

Liu Fu frowned tightly, quite agreeing with this statement.As the king of a country, although he also knows the importance of the reputation of benevolence and righteousness, the benefits brought to him by fame are invisible and intangible, and they are not as real as land, population, money and food, and troops.It's just that what Wang Sheng and Kuai Mao said was indeed reasonable, and he couldn't ignore their opinions and continue to go his own way in the matter of killing Zhao.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Hao finished speaking, he heard Wang Sheng answer for Kuai Mao: "I just heard the words of General You, which is quite familiar with the story of the early Han Dynasty. Today, I will discuss the affairs of Chu and Han. Han Xin, Chen Ping, Ying Bu, Peng Yue, Zhang Er, they all rebelled against Chu and returned to Han. Is it because the King of Han has many soldiers? But benevolence and righteousness, what does it mean to be useless?"

Liu Hao was knocked off, but because he was worried that Wang Sheng was the prime minister, he was not as good as Kuai Mao, an admonishing doctor whose ass was still hot, so he could only suppress his anger, swallowed the dirty words that came to his mouth, and panted heavily. Qi said: "Benevolence, benevolence, benevolence, benevolence and righteousness, every day is full of benevolence and righteousness, people who listen to it have calluses. I said, prime minister, can benevolence and righteousness transform people? Or can it transform land? Oh, if benevolence and righteousness can be If you win, what do you want us generals to do! Just go home and farm!"

Wang Shengdao: "In the past, Gaozu entered Qin Dynasty and surrounded Wan three times. He was good at sealing the prefect of Wancheng to show the world to be benevolent. Then he led troops to the west. All the cities were defeated. This is the city that can be won by benevolence. Then Gaozu entered the pass and made three chapters to make Qin The people know virtue, but they are afraid that Gaozu will not be the king of Qin, and then Gaozu will send troops in Guanzhong to conquer the world. Although there are several defeats in taking land, one victory will make you powerful and invincible. What is power? The strength of armored soldiers is strength. Although it is indispensable, it cannot be relied on. What is power? Is the right general still unknown?"

Liu Hao's eyes widened, his face turned purple, but he couldn't speak a word, he looked up at Liu Fu, Liu Fu touched his nose, but didn't speak.

"Minister..." Sun Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said cautiously: "I am worried... Zhao people are good at fighting. If they subsidize Zhao's food at this time, I am afraid it will be a legacy of raising tigers. After the king took Luoyang , bordering Zhao, and in order to save Wei State, our country fought with Zhao one month ago, so that it did not get any important places such as Anyi and Wucheng. When I commit evil, the king borrows food, which is no different from self-inflicted damage to the enemy."

"Exactly!" Hearing that what he said was reasonable, Liu Hao slammed his thigh hard, and hurriedly agreed.

Wang Sheng ignored Sun Yuan first, but took a look at Liu Hao and said: "If Zhao Guo comes to attack, I will be famous as a teacher. The ancients said, use the righteous to defeat the innocent, and use the virtuous to let the virtuous. This is the way of heaven, and the righteous soldiers will be promoted He has never heard of any defeat. If the general on the right fears that the Zhao people are good at fighting and cannot win, and he is timid before fighting, he might as well disarm and return to the fields as he said just now, farming and fishing will still be considered a blessing in life.”

"What fear do I have!" Liu Hao shouted angrily.

"Since the general is not afraid of Zhao Guo, I, Dayong, don't have to worry about raising assholes to become snakes. What's the difficulty in taking first and then taking it?"

Liu Hao had no choice but to shut up angrily, and Wang Sheng turned to Sun Yuan again when he saw this, "Is there anything else to say?" It is best to hide under the cracks of the bricks so that Wang Sheng cannot see him.

So Wang Sheng looked up at Liu Fu and said, "The king just said that he wanted to take advantage of Zhao's famine. I thought the king borrowed food, and the benefit was far away. If Zhao people feel my benevolence and righteousness, they will cherish my heart." Virtue, it will be easy to win Zhao in the future! The people of Hebei have lived in remote areas for a long time, and they are brave and hard to teach. If you win the hearts of Zhao people, it is better than a hundred thousand soldiers. This is a golden opportunity, how can the king let it go?"

"Prime Minister's mouth is really powerful..." Liu Fu chuckled, seeing no one agreeing, he could only sigh secretly with a smiling face, and then said solemnly: "I have made up my mind, so I will borrow money from Zhao."

Once he said this, he didn't change it.Liu Hao panted heavily, Sun Yuan bowed his head and remained silent, Kuai Mao half closed his eyes, Wang Sheng bowed silently, straightened up and sat down again.

Liu Fu sat back upright, and as soon as his knees rested on the mat, the window was blown open.Outside the window was already a vast expanse of whiteness, the gust of wind swept goose feathers and heavy snow, and came straight to the house, extinguishing several lamps in the hall, and blowing everyone's clothes ruffled.The palace man was about to close the window tightly, but Liu Fu waved his hand and said, "Open it." The palace man didn't understand what he meant, but he still obediently retreated.

Liu Fu looked at the snow outside for a moment, and explained in a low voice as if talking to himself: "This snow has not been falling for a long time."

The snow is like a jade dragon fighting, and the flying scales are flying one after another, sweeping the world, it is so beautiful.But how can it last for so long if it is so aggressive?
