Chapter 45: One South and One North Two Controversies

The initial inducement of the dispute between the Southern Tang Dynasty was Xiao Yan, the minister of the Dali Temple and the minister of the minister.

As soon as the morning court opened on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, a censor named Zhao jumped out and pointed at Xiao Yan, saying that the murderer had not been found until now. Now, there is no clue that the Imperial College assistant Wang Tai's family was wiped out, which is enough to prove that Xiao Yan, the helmsman of Dali Temple, is poor and ineffective in doing things. He should ask Gao Ming.

Someone came to the forefront, and many people jumped out to help the boxing. The Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor Cha Wenhui took the lead in firing the cannon, and righteously said that the family massacre was not solved, and the city of Jinling was not stable, and the world was also unstable. He asked the emperor to strictly order Xiao Yan to solve the case within a time limit; the Imperial College, the Imperial College and other Imperial College members also took action, listing Wang Tai's "great achievements" and crying to ask the emperor to avenge Wang Tai's "capable minister".

Li Jing didn't know why, sitting on the dragon chaise, sternly and silent. Xiao Yan, who was angry and ashamed, wanted to rush over to resign, but was caught by Jiang Wenmo, the Minister of Rites, beside him.

While it was lively, another censor named Zhou jumped out and claimed that the Wang Tai case mainly involved Lin Feng and his subordinate Wei Wuque. According to common sense, these two people are the most suspicious and should "please" come back to assist in the case first.

When the censor said this, Li Jing, the King of Qi who had been standing in front of him and did not speak, browsed and almost wanted to curse: Lin Feng is now shouldering the great task of going north, how could he come back because of this matter?

Han Xizai, the member of the Yu army, was even more unhappy and immediately jumped out to take the initiative: Lin Feng made numerous contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and now he is responsible for the heavy responsibility of rushing into the northern barbarians alone. If he turns back because of such an inexplicable suspicion, it is purely nonsense.

Now, the censor surnamed Zhou was dissatisfied and loudly questioned Lao Han that since ancient times, the prince had committed the law and the common people. Is it important to be the national laws or personal achievements?

The subject of the argument came here and suddenly changed direction.

Immediately afterwards, the censor of Li jumped out and pointed out that Lin Feng, in the battle with the Southern Han Dynasty, ignored the friendly neighbors and good history of the two countries, massacred the Southern Han army, and became even better into the enemy's territory and built "Jingguan". His ruthless behavior was outrageous, which damaged the image of the Tang Dynasty and harmed the good neighborly relations. What is even more inconsistent is that Lin Feng signed a covenant with the Yi tribe in Chu State without authorization, and did not ask the emperor for advice. At the same time, he ordered the ministers of the Chu State to go beyond their power and act in vain, which was a traitor who damaged the country's reputation and personal reputation and strength. He was a traitor!

As soon as this accusation came out, all the people who were a little rational in the court wanted to curse. If this continues, Lin Feng worked hard for such a time, not only did he fail to achieve success, but he was a serious crime. Even Li Jing, who had been sitting firmly on the dragon throne, frowned.

The Deputy Envoy of Privy Councillor Chang Mengxi, the Minister of Rites Jiang Wenmo and others went out one after another to expose Lin Feng's past achievements and directly denounced such "report and report" as purely accusing the meritorious ministers. They disappointed the hearts of the people of the world and were an evil act of disrupting the order of the court, and asked the censor to be expelled from the court.

The court immediately turned into a pot of boiling porridge. When it reached its climax, Li Jing, who couldn't stand it, slapped the table and left, leaving behind the court officials who were still resentful to each other.

This debate lasted for five days. Later, the topic of the debate expanded again. Some censors said that Xiao Yan and others were working behind closed doors in the Qingsi Hall. Many proposed policies were divorced from reality and were not a blessing for the country. They should be stopped immediately.

Now, the topic was focused on how to change, and the debate became more direct and fierce. An old minister hit his head against the pillar in the court, and his head was covered in blood. He cried and begged the Tang Dynasty to start peace and peace in the country. It was not a blessing for the country to change rashly.

Li Jing, who had been a bystander for five days, was finally furious and declared that no matter who it was, he would argue endlessly and immediately drove out of the court. At the same time, he limited Xiao Yan's case to solve the destruction case within 20 days, and finally left.

At this time, the Northern Zhou Dynasty had already learned from various channels that the Chu State had surrendered to the Southern Tang Dynasty. The Khitan cavalry was still raging in the north, and the Northern Han was ready to move. Guo Wei, who was worried about several major events in Xuzhou raising the anti-flagship, felt more and more painful. Only then did he know how much trouble the king of a country had to bear behind the glory of a country.

At this moment, Chai Rong, the governor of Chanzhou, handed over a memorial from his secretary, Wang Pu, that caused controversy in the entire court.

"I heard that Tang lost the way and lost Wu, Shu, Jin lost the way and lost the way and lost the secluded, and looked at the reasons for losing it, and knew the technique of calming it...

If you are in the same way as God's will, you will succeed. All the ways to attack will start with the Yi. Nowadays, only the Yitu of Wu and Tang Dynasty, reaching the sea in the east and the river in the south, can be 2,000 miles. Wu and Tang newly acquired Lin Feng, are determined to change and ambitious, and newly acquired Chu, and accumulate national strength. If you let it go, you will definitely have a big problem... You can first scratch it from the place where you prepare for the east, and then you will be able to stop the west. If you prepare for the west, you will be slammed to the east. If you prepare for the west, you will be slammed to the east. If you obtain Wu, Gui, and Guang are all internal officials, Min and Shu can fly and write to it... Now the troops are refined, and the weapons are equipped, and the subordinates know the law. After one harvest, the generals can flatten the border."

In fact, this is "Pingbian Ce" that will appear in real history four years later, but there is more fresh content about the merger of Lin Feng and Chu Tang.

In 955 AD, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong convened more than 20 scholars who worked in the court and published two topical essays on "It is difficult to be a minister and is not easy to discuss" and "Ping Bian Ceremony" to open up the way of speaking. Other talented men only talked in general, based on traditional Confucian theory, and talked about some well-known principles of benevolence and politics. Only Wang Pu knew that Chai Rong had a lot of spirit in his heart and wrote "Ping Bian Ceremony" that cultivated moral politics internally, and was very serious about the easy ones, and then difficult to pacify the surrounding areas externally. This was also a great article hailed by later generations as comparable to Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair".

Because of the appearance of Lin Feng, a butterfly, Wang Pu, who had only been in Chai Mansion for three days, changed his face after hearing the news that the Southern Tang Dynasty had newly acquired Chu land, and shouted: "The greatest enemy of Zhou is Lin Feng! Time is not waiting for me, I must abandon this son!" He wrote this memorial overnight, and knelt down and hurriedly reported to Chai Rong.

Although Wang Pu, born in 905, became a Jinshi at the age of 44, he has always been known for his intelligence and studiousity. After becoming a Jinshi, he served as the proofreader of the Later Han Dynasty and relied on the Privy Councilor Yang Bin, and usually lived in Yang Bin's house. But this man was really smart. When he saw the situation of the court, he speculated that Yang Bin's backer was not reliable, so he found a reason to resign and return to his hometown. Not long after Wang Pu left, Emperor Yin of Later Jin, Liu Chengyou, under the conspiracy of his uncle Li Ye and others, killed the families of Yang Bin, Wang Zhang, Shi Hongzhao and the officials who were dependent on him. Only Wang Pu was easily spared.

After Chai Rong was appointed as the governor of Chanzhou, he immediately began to search for a group of famous people who came into the curtain. Wang Pu was among them and was appointed as the chief secretary by Chai Rong, equivalent to Chai Rong's written secretary, which shows his respect for him.

Seeing that Wang Pu, who was known for his pride, actually saw him, Chai Rong also changed his expression and immediately listened to his details. He believed that he signed his name in addition to the memorial and sent it to Kaifeng City, Tokyo for 800 miles.

Guo Wei has always loved Chai Rong, especially after his wife and children were killed, he even threw all his love on this nephew. He had already designated him as his successor in his heart, so he naturally gave priority to reading this memorial. He was immediately deeply impressed by the talent revealed in the memorial and ordered people to read this memorial in the court.

As soon as the memorial was released, the Later Zhou Dynasty immediately started to argue.

Some old ministers and many military generals who remained in office from the Later Han Dynasty disdained this suggestion, believing that even if the Southern Tang Dynasty had Chu, it would not be a big threat. The Liao Dynasty, the Northern Han Dynasty, and Xuzhou, which raised the anti-sects, were imminent threats.

However, the Zuo Jianyi Doctor, the Tu Wang Pu, and other former staff members strongly agreed with this suggestion, because Wang Pu's analysis was too reasonable. The Southern Tang Dynasty was working hard to start and strive to fly. If we cannot seize the opportunity to eliminate it now, once its general trend is formed, there will be endless troubles.

Guo Wei often heard about the Southern Tang reforms in the Tianxiong Army, and naturally knew Lin Feng's name. He was very interested in this topic and asked Wang Pu about the origin and pros and cons of the Southern Tang reforms.

Wang Pu was a famous genius in the world in the Later Zhou Dynasty. In 948, he passed the top scorer at the age of 26, promoted to prime minister at the age of 32, and sued the official and returned home at the age of 42. This is an excellent example of a "helicopter" in the officialdom.

When he was working as Guo Wei, Wang Pu had privately discussed Lin Feng's changes in the Southern Tang Dynasty with a group of staff. Their final conclusion was: Lin Feng's wishes were beautiful, but the reality was even more cruel, and the changes would end up in vain.

However, Lin Feng did the stakes and storm without showing off, and several major events such as the Academy of Sciences, especially the successful plan, which made Wang Pu and the others begin to doubt their original conclusions.

After listening to Wang Pu's analysis, Lin Feng's series of reform ideas were clearly presented to Guo Wei: strengthen the army with science and technology, use commercial innovation, liberate agriculture, attract talents, and thus drive the development of the entire society.

Guo Wei pondered for a long time, waved his hand to stop the debate among the people in the hall, and announced a series of orders:

Wang Pu led a group of former Tianxiong Army staff to carefully study Lin Feng's reform measures to see if it could be borrowed in the Later Zhou Dynasty;

He selected ministers in the court to rush to the Southern Tang Dynasty to denounce the Southern Tang Dynasty for his arbitrary actions of taking over Chu;

The governor of Chanzhou, Chai Rong, controlled the Hebei army and worked together to repel the invading enemy of the Khitan. At the same time, he sent General Zhu Xian, the Zuo Qianniu Guard, to accompany the Khitan envoy sent by Liu Ci, the governor of Anguo, to return to Liao, to explain the reasons for the change of dynasty, and gave a large number of gold and jade to the king of Liao;

Wang Yan, the governor of Jinzhou, actively prepared for the war and strictly prevented the Northern Han from crossing the border to attack;

Guo Chongxiong led 7,000 cavalry south to Xuzhou and quickly quelled the Xuzhou rebellion. Gong Tingmei, the former Liuyouduan, was killed by the coach Yang Wending.

The huge warrior of the Later Zhou Dynasty quickly turned.

Lin Feng, who was in Shanghai, had no idea that he had once again become the center of the whirlpool of the North and South dynasties, because he had also suddenly entered the dangers in reality.
