Chapter 399

The officers and soldiers of the left Shence army sneered. Some of the people riding on the * * Zhan shot down the crown of the talking head with an arrow, which surprised all civil and military officials and Xun GUI. No one dared to speak any more. In the face of the surrounded situation, they trembled and did not know what fate they would usher in.

Then the general of Zuo Shence army sneered: "the imperial court withheld our pay, and our soldiers died in the war without compensation. We were injured and kicked out of the army in the twinkling of an eye and let their family live and die. But I didn't see your sympathy!

Hum, unless General Li Shao gives orders, you can't kill indiscriminately. I have already killed all your corrupt officials! "

The emperor was fatuous and cowardly. At this time, he shrank behind and dared not show his head. Some people who seem honest but actually have a strong gambling nature heard that Wei Yan had ordered his corporal not to kill indiscriminately, so they wanted to take the opportunity to invite a name, openly stand up and show off their tongue, and even publicly scolded Wei Yan as a disorderly subject, thief and wolf ambition.

Wei Ran only smiled, and someone rushed into the array alone. No one dared to stop him, so he caught the civil servant in front of Wei Ran's horse.

The other party knelt on the ground and was gentle. Facing Wei Ran's towering killing intention, the civilian's gambling suddenly disappeared. He was scared to the ground and his crotch was wet.

Wei Ran rode past the clown with a sneer and was no longer interested.

Step by step, he stepped in front of all civil and military officials. He was sweating and walking nonstop. He saw that he was about to hit a small official in green in front of him. The other party quickly gave way and bowed down.

Next, all the way, it is like chopping waves, and the crowd automatically separates on both sides. No distinction between civil and military, noble and humble, loyal and traitor.

Even those so-called Qingliu admonishing ministers who have always claimed to be upright, honest and magnanimous, and have the spirit of Kong and Meng Haoran, under the pressure of Wei Ran's own momentum, they also look like earth, trembling, sweating, dry mouth, staggering and embarrassed when retreating.

Wei Ran rode alone like a stroll. When he was about to reach the first ten steps of the emperor's shoulder, an old man with white hair and beard was squeezed out of the crowd, but he was dressed in blue.

It is said that in the core area closest to the emperor, there should be all Zhu Zi's important officials except the servants and guards. How could there be a small official in green here?

The old man opened his arms and stopped before Wei Ran's war horse. Wei Ran scoffed and didn't stop. Seeing that the sweat and blood horse was about to knock it down, Wei Ran gently pulled the reins. At this time, the breath of the sweat and blood horse almost sprayed on the old man's face.

"Who, sir?"

The emperor hiding in his shoulder was very afraid. He was surprised to see the old man suddenly appeared. He couldn't help shouting, "Taifu, why are you here?"

When Wei Ran heard the words "Taifu", he knew that this man should be a minister from the emperor's hidden residence. He should have relied on it as a pillar of the country, but he didn't want to know why he was just a trivial general from the liupin Shaofu as the imperial supervisor.

This man once urged the emperor to ask Li Chengye to go out of the mountain when the cavalry rebelled at Pinglu Festival. At that time, he was an important minister on which the emperor relied. But in recent days, he repeatedly advised the emperor to be thrifty and diligent, and often opposed Tian Lingzi, Zhang Zhen and others. He also disagreed with them on Li Chengye's affairs..

He was framed and demoted again and again, but it was lucky. The Emperor cared about his old feelings and did not demote to the border for exile, or directly kill the scribes, like other loyal officials. Only put him in the Imperial College and be a dispensable minister, so as not to appear in front of him.

Even so, when Wei Ran was hostile and unpredictable, all the civil and military officials in the court were frightened by the power, but no one dared to stop him, but only he chased back all the way, gave up his old pride and stood in front of Wei Ran's horse.

The old man is neither humble nor arrogant. "The general should pay a visit to his majesty and dismount as a minister."

"The state-owned virtuous officials cannot be used. The old man was his Majesty's grand Fu. After his majesty ascended the throne, even if he could not be the governor of the country, he should also be an important Minister of the six ministries or a privy minister. Today, he is just a minister in charge of the Imperial Academy. Does the old gentleman have no resentment against such an emperor? "

"When the former Emperor was in power, his father, Duke Li, was dismissed from his post. I asked him something similar. The general knows how your father answered. "

Wei Ran looked into the distance and thought back to the past, "if you guessed correctly, with his character, it should be thunder, rain and dew, all of which are Jun's grace."

"Good! This is the way of loyal officials! " The upright old man has the meaning of persuasion in his words.

Wei Ran looked at him cynically, "hum, Li is a handsome man, but he is not a loyal minister. Even if you are loyal, it is only the state of the Tang Dynasty, not the royal family of the Li Tang Dynasty. "

"Is it the king's land in the whole world? If you are loyal to the country, you should be loyal to your majesty. If the general wants to do something wrong and fear that the whole world will overturn and the world will be in chaos, this is what the general loyal to the country wants to see? "

"The old gentleman has a good eloquence. Unfortunately, if the whole world is really king land? What a pity that big Sui Dynasty was. Pushing forward, there are the two Han Dynasties and the strong Qin Dynasty, but history is still moving forward all the way, not dominated by people's will.

Nowadays, in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court does not need virtuous officials, destroys good generals, eunuchs are in power, and crafty and cunning are everywhere. Outside, foreign invasion, the country and the dynasty were unable to resist. Inside, there are serious mergers, high taxes, boiling public complaints, and natural and man-made disasters, so that Zhumen's wine and meat stink road is frozen to death! Dare the old gentleman say that this is not an apocalyptic image? "

Wei Yan made some remarks and pointed to the world, but the old man's eyes were firm and unmoved.

"The Tang Dynasty can be overthrown by the people. As Emperor Taizong said, water can carry a boat and overturn a boat! But the general is a minister of the Tang Dynasty, not the people. The people can do something, but the general can't do it! "

Wei Ran was silent, and the other party was right. He was a border General of the Tang Dynasty and a member of the whole ruling group. If he was dissatisfied outside the ruling class, he could rebel and overthrow the dynasty instead.

However, doing such a thing within the ruling group is called mutiny. No matter analyzing it in any scene, it can not avoid the evaluation of a traitor, such as Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo.

Wei Ran arched his hand to the other side. "What you said is reasonable. However, what you did during this trip is to rectify the current state of chaos in the court from bottom to top, refresh the official administration and rectify the outline of the court, which is also to do your part for the continuation of the Tang Dynasty. This is not a mutiny, but a matter of Yiyin Huoguang. "

In short, I didn't betray the whole ruling class, but the officials in power. In short, I didn't kill and replace the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so I didn't betray the Tang Dynasty.

A very simple logic of power and officials. If you want to compete with me, you can't talk about it from the perspective of the ruling class and the ruled class, but only from the great righteousness of kings and officials. But the great righteousness of monarchs and ministers is a piece of waste paper that is too hard to wipe your ass.

Wei Ran ignored the old man who didn't know how to argue for a moment and looked up at the shoulder of the gorgeous and graceful emperor.

"Your Majesty, great general Zuo Shence, Jiangnan Road recruitment envoy, Datang County Hou Li Chengye, my father, and this broken world! You and the imperial court need to give an explanation! "

The emperor's bluish gray face, which was already too drunk, became more pale and trembled, without the majesty of the king of a country. In full view of the public, people only despise it. Are these stupid and cowardly people loyal to our majestic doctor? It's ridiculous!
