Chapter 58: The King of Swords, Shuwang

If it was just to "strike Linghu Le's prestige", Xin Er probably wouldn't have asked Huang Rong to write a letter to Linghu Le, so he asked Linghu Le to write a letter of guilt. In fact, there was another important reason why he planned to do this.

It was what he mentioned to Zuo.

As we grow older, the relationship between Linghu Le and him becomes increasingly disagreeable due to the struggle for power.

The relationship between Linghu Le and Xin Er is indeed becoming increasingly estranged, and Xin Er doesn’t need to spend all his time. He just needs to "go with the flow" and follow the flow. The current "please ask Linghu Le to write a letter of guilt" is an example of following the flow.

I decided to make a decision and Xin Er passed on a letter to Huang Rong.

Huang Rong received the order from Xin Er and took out his usual decisive behavior. He immediately proposed this proposal at the court meeting two days later.

Before making this proposal, Cao Feigang reported good news to Linghu Le.

In response to Tang Ai's suggestion, since the "Longshan Battle" that began in early winter last year, it has been fought at every turn. In total, about ten battles have been fought. The scale of each battle is not very large, and it lasts not very long. At most, more than a thousand people have fought for more than ten days; at least hundreds of people have fought for two or three days. Overall, the winner is mixed.

After all, the Long soldiers in the Qin army who were in the hands of the Qin army and participated in the battles at the same time, except for the first time, most of the old soldiers used in the first battle, the other battles were changed to the main force of the Qin and He states, and the government soldiers were new soldiers. They had never fought before. Even with the deployment of Tang Ai and the command of generals such as Wang Shuwang, Wei Xian, and Ma Hui, it was reasonable that the results were not very good.

The good news from Cao Fei's report was that the Longshan Battle started half a month ago, the Long soldiers won the battle. Not only did they win, but they also successfully built the fort at a dangerous place on the western foot of Longshan. At this point, the Long soldiers built the forts and checkpoints in Longshan, and the Long soldiers were all in the small half of the western foot of Longshan.

Linghu Le was very happy. He knelt on the throne, touched the black and fluffy beard on his lips as if he was looking like, and said, "That's great! In the past few days, I received either a flying report from the locust plague in Hezhou or a report from the locust plague in Longzhou. Finally, I heard good news. Cao Fei!"

Cao Fei put his legs on his neck, held the tablet, bent down and replied, "I'm here."

Linghu Le said: "I want to reward! A big reward!"

Cao Fei said: "Yes."

Linghu Le asked: "Who brought this victory with him?"

Cao Fei replied: "The Lord of this battle will be Wang Shuwang."

Linghu Le thought to himself, "It's Wang Shuwang!" After thinking for a while, he ordered, "I heard that the young generals in Qinzhou are the best at fighting. In the past, he had outstanding military achievements. This time he killed the enemy in blood and built a fort in Longshan. I had to give additional rewards!"

Cao Fei said, "Yes, it should be rewarded. King, what are you planning to reward?"

Linghu Le already had an idea and said, "Reward a Xianning treasure sword produced by Gu himself!"

Shortly after taking power, Linghu Le learned the story of his father Linghu Feng's ascendance to the throne, and he made ten swords of hundreds of steel. The ten swords made by Linghu Feng had the inscription "Ba"; the ten swords made by Linghu Le had the inscription "Xianning". Xianning is now the year name of the Tang Dynasty.

Cao Fei praised his tsk and said, "Wang Shuwang is a blessing! The ten treasure swords produced by the king himself have never given them any more than to the Western Conference and Qu Shuang and other few people. However, Wang Shuwang has to give them one!" He received the order and said, "I will do this tomorrow."

Cao Fei retreated to the class, and Huang Rong stepped out of the line.

The smile on Linghu Le's face slugged slightly, and he thought to himself: "Come again!"

Almost every court meeting, Huang Rong reported something, and Linghu Le was unwilling to agree to what he reported, but almost every time he reported it, he still had to agree. Therefore, Linghu Le is really annoyed when he sees Huang Rong now.

Huang Rong bowed and bowed, stood up with a scepter and said loudly: "King! I think it is not easy to give a knife to Wang Shuwang now!"

Linghu Le thought he had something to ask for, but he didn't expect him to say this. He was stunned for a moment and asked reluctantly: "Why?"

Huang Rong said: "The king just mentioned the locust plague in Hezhou, Longzhou and other places. I also saw the reports from various counties to the court. This time, many counties and counties were affected, Hezhou, Longzhou, and Taiban were all suffering from the disaster! King, when the locusts were raging and the people mourned him, I thought that it was important to treat locusts. How could I not cultivate virtue and give them to my subordinates with sword armor at this moment?"

Linghu Le said: "It is naturally important to treat locusts. Just a few days ago, when the locust plague occurred in Zhiliaohe and Long, I summoned you and others to discuss countermeasures. On the same day, I ordered the chiefs and officials of the states and counties to do their best to eliminate the locusts. The next day, Mr. Zhang personally selected more than ten capable officials from various departments of the Zhongtai department to go to the counties that raised locusts to supervise the matter of locusts?"

Huang Rong raised his head and said, "I think it's not enough to do these things!"

Linghu Le said: "Is it possible that you have a good idea to destroy locusts?"

Huang Rong said: "I have the best strategy to eliminate locusts and want to offer them to the king."

These words were heard, and Linghu Le looked happy. His dissatisfaction with Huang Rong seemed to have disappeared a lot. He hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

Huang Rong was so righteous and said, "Locusts are natural disasters. If you want to destroy locusts, the first thing is that the king should cultivate virtue! This strategy is to ask the king to issue a letter of guilt!"

"Does the letter of guilt?"

“That’s right!”

As soon as Huang Rong said this, the ministers in the hall did not care about the existence of the censor in the hall, and many people immediately whispered.

Chen Bucai in the train was furious and stepped out of the line, saying, "I dare to ask Mr. Huang, what do you mean?"

Huang Rong did not look at him, but still faced Linghu Le and said, "King, the locust plague must not be without cause! The wrath of the sky must be due to the lack of virtue in the world! The king..."

Chen Bucai was furious and scolded: "Huang Rong! What are you saying? What is the anger of the sky? It must be because of the lack of virtue in the world?"

Huang Rong was interrupted by him, and his face was unhappy. He turned his face to look at him, turned his face back, and simply said straightforwardly, saying, "If a man is kind and moral, what comes down from heaven will be auspicious; but if a man is not cultivated, what comes down from heaven will be a plague of water, drought and locust! King, why did this locust plague? Why is the heaven angry? Please think about it carefully!"

In front of the ministers in the court, Huang Rong was so aggressive that he didn't look like a minister at all, and he was obviously domineering and arrogant!

Linghu Le's face turned red, she clenched her fists tightly and stared at Huang Rong, both ashamed and angry.

Chen Bucai said excitedly: "After this locust plague, I read the records. The locust plague in Dingxi has been around for about ten years. When the previous kings of Dingxi were in power, most of them had locust plagues. Huang Rong, there are other reasons for the locust plagues. What does this have to do with the king?"

Huang Rong asked him and said, "Do you think there is another reason?"

Chen Bucai answered decisively: "Not bad!"

Huang Rong asked, "What's the reason?"

Chen Bucai was speechless and couldn't answer.

Huang Rong sneered and continued to turn to Linghu Le, regardless of whether Linghu Le's expression was shy or angry, and how ugly it was, he said, "Although now, I rely on the power of the expedition to the west, I can resist the Qin barbarians in a remote area in Dingxi, and win the Qin barbarians in Qiu. But the king, our Dingxi is now inferior to the Qin barbarians! The Qin barbarians invaded Xiangwu by Qin, and the Qin Lord Pu Mao personally led the troops. How could he not be hated? This year, Pu Mao may invade my king's land again! But at this time, a locust plague occurred. If the king does not quickly eliminate the locust plague, then when Pu Mao attacks my land again, he will probably not be able to win again even if he attacks Xigan City!"

He bowed and said, "King, I have said this all, whether I listen or not, depends on the choice of the king." After a pause, he added, and said, "The king is the king of Dingxi, and the people rely on the people. 'The faults of a saint are like the eclipse of the sun and the moon. If it is wrong, everyone will examine it and correct it, and everyone will admire it.' This is the clear statement of the wise. I beg the king to pay attention to the people and correct it without fear of mistakes!"

After a few words, Linghu Le had an illusion, as if he had done something wrong, as if the locust plague happened this time was really because of him. Linghu Le subconsciously shook his head and drove out this idea to avoid being influenced by Huang Rong's words. He knew that regardless of qualifications, reputation in the court, or ability, Chen Bucai was not a match for Huang Rong, so he turned his attention to Zhang Hun, Chen Sun and others.

Chen Sun stayed there, holding his mouth and bowing, motionless.

Zhang Hun came out slowly and said, "Master, I ask the King to punish Huang Rong for his crime."

Linghu Le relaxed his heart, covered his joy, and said, "Responsible for punishment?"

Zhang Hun said: "Huang Rong's report was too loud and he had a mistake before the king. Please follow the law and punish him!"

The rude man is a crime that is a big deal, not big deal or big deal.

If the monarch pursues the case, the serious ones can be beheaded, but if the sentence is lighter, the impolite person will not be punished too much.

After hearing Zhang Hun's words, Linghu Le's heart was relieved and he calmed down again. He knew that even if he caught Huang Rong and was disrespectful to the Lord, he would definitely not be able to kill Huang Rong under the resistance of Zhang Hun and others. What's more important is not this. It was from Zhang Hun's meaning and tone. Linghu Le heard that Zhang Hun did not object to his crime.

Linghu Le was extremely disappointed and thought to himself: "The ministers in the court are almost trustworthy! Pandan, Pandan, why are you sick? If you were there at this time, Or maybe you wouldn't be so isolated and helpless." He was discouraged, but without waiting for Zhang Hun to say that he agreed with Huang Rong's opinion, he said, "Forget it, Huang Rong is also worried about locust plague and national affairs, so he will be exempted from punishment... As for the letter of guilt, Mr. Zhang, let's arrange it to do it. After writing it, I will use it to show it to Ork, and then publish it in the name of Ork."

The set of rhetoric prepared by Zhang Hun to persuade Linghu Le to accept Huang Rong's suggestion was useless, but it was a waste of trouble. He respectfully agreed.

...

After the court was dispersed, Linghu Le was not in the mood to stay in the Four Seasons Palace again, and immediately ordered to return to the Lingjuntai of the bedroom.

Chen Bucai was with him.

Back at Lingjun Platform, when he arrived at the small hall where he usually reads and studies, Linghu Le took off his sword and threw it to the ground hard.

Chen Bucai hurriedly bowed and said, "Don't rest as angry."

Linghu Le held his left hand behind him and walked around the hall quickly, saying angrily: "How many days have I been in charge of the government? Which of the various political measures promulgated and implemented in the court was dominated by the solitary? Last year's equal land system caused complaints from local prefectures and counties; the literature proposed by Huang Rong a few days ago attracted overwhelming opposition from the court and the people! If it was because of these things that caused the heaven to be furious and thus brought down this locust plague, is the responsibility to be the solitary? Whose idea is these political measures? What does this have to do with solitary!

"This Huang Rong forced the lonely to commit suicide! He lost face to the ministers and the people! It was really hateful and hateful!"

The Lord was worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the Lord was humiliated and died. Chen Bucai was so sad and angry that he blamed himself. Tears fell down and said even more: "King, all the ministers are incompetent!"

Linghu Le said, "I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so proud of Zhang Hun, even if I eat a melon that I'm so tribute to Shazhou, Gu thought of him, Zhang Hun, and I'm going to send him two! Is he just repaying Yu Gu like this?"

Chen Bucai wiped his tears and said, "King, if you have no Xi Bao, Zhang Hun cannot take charge of the Shangshutai. His two sons, now one is the prefect of Wudu and the other is the governor of Hezhou. They are all obeying orders in the governor's office of the West. Even his subordinate Zhang Daoyue, who had previously served Qilian and moved to Xiping, was actually called on the Xi Ping.... King, his Zhang family is now a lackey in the West! King, how could he share the worries of the king?"

Linghu Le was not only dissatisfied with Zhang Hun's performance, but also dissatisfied with Chen Sun's performance. He looked at Chen Bucai, and held back the words that were almost blurted out of dissatisfaction with Chen Sun. He stopped, bent down and helped Chen Bucai up, patted his arm, and said, "Xiaobao, all the civil and military officials in the court, you are the only one who is facing Gu, and you are in your heart!" He grabbed his sleeves and helped Chen Bucai wipe his tears, and said, "Stop crying! Xiaobao, a man's husband, is crying, what do you think!"

Chen Bucai tried hard to stop his tears and said, "Yes, the king, I won't cry anymore! King, this letter of guilt cannot be written! King, you have just been in power for a long time and your prestige in the court and the country is not high. If you write a letter of guilt at this time, then..."

From then on, not only will the prestige among the people be lowered, but the ministers in the court can also use this to further restrict Linghu Le's behavior on the grounds of "supervising Linghu Le to cultivate virtues."

Linghu Le said: "Xiaobao, how could I not know what you said? But can this letter of guilt be done without giving it?"

Chen Bucai made an idea and said, "The king, all the ministers are loyal to the king, not just one person. Fandan is also loyal. He was sick the day before yesterday and failed to attend court today. Why didn't the king signal him to ask him to write a letter to refute Huang Rong's fallacies?"

Linghu Le is not without knowledge. He said, "It is useless to rely on Pandan alone."

"Then this letter of sin?"

Linghu Le raised his head, looked at the flowers and gardens outside the hall, was silent for a while, and said, "Get down, go down! Go down!" He turned around and sat down on the couch.

Chen Bucai followed him and said, "King, if you have to write off your own crime because of your own necessity, you have to write it. However, if there is something, I think the king must not allow it!"
