Liang Chuan was seen through again, so naturally he would not hide it. Anyone who wanted to know about him in the court would soon find out. If they wanted to see him, Ding Wei, they would have come long ago.
"I have a friend who committed a crime in Qingyuan and was exiled to Guangnan West Road. I'm about to go visit him!"
"Guangnan West Road?" Ding Wei murmured, "I'm afraid there will be another disaster in this place within ten years!"
The two sat for a long time, and Ding Wei never mentioned a word about the government affairs. His mentality was extremely ordinary. No matter how much he cared about him, there was no use. He knew that there was no possibility of a comeback, so why should he bother himself?
Liang Chuan was puzzled: "In my impression, there have been no major incidents in the southwest, so why..."
Ding Wei's triangular eyes swept across Liang Chuan's body like knives. His penetrating eyes made Liang Chuan feel uncomfortable all over.
You just said one sentence, what do you know?
Ding said: "Since the Taizu Dynasty, there have been dozens of rebellions in Shu. Almost every year there are a few unruly people who take the lead and rebel without fear of death. Some people take the lead and others want to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to set up a table with the court to talk. condition!"
"The southwest area is vast, and hundreds of thousands of mountains are hidden in it. No matter how many officers and soldiers come, it will not help! So after these are the Tubos. As powerful as the Tang Dynasty, the Tubos almost overturned the city of Chang'an. Our Song Dynasty We don’t even dare to allow these ethnic minorities to collude with foreigners!”
Ding Wei began to recall those years.
"During the Chunhua period, the kings of Western Shu all rebelled. The imperial court mobilized soldiers from Shi, Qian, Gao, and Xizhou ethnic minorities to guard the border and quell the rebellion. These grassroots who took advantage of the situation also had deep resentment against the imperial court. If they were found guilty, they would die. Humans, their population is not large to begin with, so they don’t pay attention to this method of killing with a borrowed knife.”
"The imperial court sent countless troops to suppress them. Every time the army arrived, these natives hid in the mountains of central Sichuan. It was impossible for the imperial court to return empty-handed. They attacked the old, weak, women and children to claim credit, and they could still receive rewards when they returned. "
"But this is not the fundamental way to solve the problems of the local people. The hatred will only get deeper and deeper, and the rebellions will become more and more frequent!"
"Exactly, when the imperial court saw this, it immediately changed its strategy. Look at the peace in Shuzhong these years. Shuzhong is one of the lifeblood of the Song Dynasty. If there is chaos in Shuzhong, the southwest will definitely fall. If the southwest loses Xiangyang and the downstream areas, It is only a matter of time before this sacred place is lost. The terrible consequences of this visit were that half of the country fell!"
"What strategy can bring decades of peace in Shu!"
"Of course it's interests! We can only take into account the interests of these rich people in politics, and there is no way to level the playing field. Look at all the rebellions since ancient times that were not done by these rich people or were behind the scenes, and others tampered with them. They only make trouble for profit. Ordinary people are dependent on these rich people, either farming land for them or working for the rich! No matter how chaotic the world is, they just want to fill their stomachs. Will they risk their lives and risk beheading? "
"Is this a strategy by the adults?"
Ding Wei smiled slightly.
Liang Chuan licked his face and asked, "Can you please give me some advice, what method is so effective?"
In the near future, Liang Chuan will attack Yizhou. How to deal with the Yi people on the island will be the same problem.
If they are not handled well, these people will stop seeing each other. They are both beasts that can hurt people. Even if the island can be defeated, it may not be able to defend it!
Ding said: "Remember, all conflicts in this world are ultimately entangled with interests! As long as we find the right crux, the problem can be solved!"
"Why did these people rebel? Because the imperial court strictly controlled the trade and salt roads, and the basic necessities of life had to be purchased at exorbitant prices. Do you think that the natives from Shiqian and other states transferred by the imperial court had no appeal? I will go against the imperial court immediately!"
"I just did one thing. I asked them to exchange grain for salt, and opened a market where they could trade for meat, fur, and sell cattle and sheep. The rebellion that could not be defeated by countless armies disappeared overnight!"
If you can't survive, you can't do business, you can't get daily necessities, and the people have no way to survive. Now the problem is not that the leader of the rebels has a business, and the profits are greater. Who is willing to fight? "
"Then others haven't thought of this? They have to make the imperial court work hard for such a simple problem!"
Ding Wei snorted coldly: "It's not that they don't know, it's that they feel like a mirror in their hearts, but they don't want to!"
Why!
"Why? Of course it's the two words I said! Profit! The market is closed, and all kinds of goods can only be circulated through smuggling. The rebels can't make money, but these local officials have made a lot of money. If the army can't Driving into the middle of Sichuan, it’s another feast for countless people to enrich their own pockets, to quell the chaos? That’s just a casual thing for the well-fed!”
Ding Wei showed a hint of ferocity on his face: "Do you know how many people I have offended with this policy and how many people's financial paths have been cut off! They described my strategy as having other agendas and called me a traitor to the country! They constantly slandered me in the court. Attack me, those so-called Qingliu indulge in corrupt politics and harm the people, but I plead for the people, but I am criticized by them every day in the court!"
Liang Chuan was silent.
Even Ding Wei, who was still calm, couldn't help but gnashed his teeth when talking about this group of people!
"You know why I hate Kou Zhun so much. Even if he is demoted to this place, I will still attack him!"
Liang Chuan glanced at Shen Yuzhen, fearing that she would hear some court secrets that she shouldn't hear, but seeing Ding Wei's reaction, he didn't care at all, so he listened carefully as Ding Wei began to tell these past events!
"Back then, when I was promoted to the Third Secretary-General, all the officials from Zhongshu Province gathered at Zifan Tower. Kou Zhun was a good drinker and thought he had a good capacity for drinking. He would stop drinking once he touched it! At that time, he drank soup. When the soup hit my body, I was the closest and hurriedly handed over the handkerchief. This was a trivial thing, but they made a big deal out of it!"
Speaking of this, Liang Chuan became energetic. He knew this allusion! It is the first half of the famous Liuxu flattering horse, the origin of Liusu!
Ding asked what was the purpose of saying this at this time. .
"Of the six officials present at the time, not just like me, some immediately went to get new clothes, some simply took off their own clothes and were naked. It didn't matter. They wanted to put them on for Kou Zhun, and there were even more shameless ones. I went to the ground to clean Kou Zhun's shoes, for fear that I would not have a chance to give Kou Zhun a chance to show off!"
Liang Chuan looked incredulous when he heard this. He had never heard of these things! Every one of them is a scandal that will embarrass the ancestors, and everything is much more disgusting than Ding Wei's beard-slipping thing!
"Another time, the officials were fishing with the official family and Concubine Wu in the imperial garden. They caught a lot of fish, but the official family didn't even touch it. Later, the official family became so disgusted that Eunuch Lin asked me to I quickly tried to find a way to lighten the atmosphere, but I could only bite the bullet and made a song called "The Orioles Are Frightened and the Phoenix Chariots Wear Through the Flowers." The fish was afraid of the dragon's face and it was too late to catch the fish. It was over, the officials were happy, but the officials were unhappy. They felt I love the limelight and like to show off in front of officials, so I embarrass them, and they even created a word to humiliate me!"
Ding Wei didn't say the words, but his face was red and black with excitement!
Needless to say, it goes without saying that with Ding Wei's caliber and rank, he can be said to be a dragon or a phoenix among men. Which one of the officials is a fuel-efficient lamp? If you are at his level and can still stimulate him, you can imagine how unbearable it is. .
Liang Chuan knew, this was just flattering!
These four words may not make sense to future generations, but this super derogatory idiom was tailor-made for Ding Wei. The protagonist is Ding Wei. No matter how many great achievements Ding Wei made, this word will always nail him to the world. On the pillar of shame!
"I, Ding Wei, how virtuous and capable I am, let them create idioms for me to remember these unbearable things!" Ding Wei just wants to vent at this moment! He has never mentioned these words to anyone for so many years!
"The world can only see that I am hypocritical and smooth in my work, and that I am good at specializing in business, but they cannot see that these villains behind my back are attacking and slandering me!"
"Do you know why the officials of the Sixth Department rushed to show off in front of Kou Zhun? He is my immediate superior. This is the rule in Zhongshu Province, and it is also a disguised way to realize their shameless desire for power! At that time, Li Han's guy was doing it every day Kou Zhun said bad things about me behind my back, and he had no courage at all. He used his power to suppress me every day. If I didn't cater to them, I would have been squeezed out of the Zhongshu Province!"
"The world praises Kou Zhun for being a straight minister and a wise prime minister, and I am a treacherous villain, but have any of you heard me say a bad word about whom?"
"Let's put it this way, it was Liu E's intention to demote Kou Zhun. Feng Zheng didn't say anything. I sympathized with Kou Zhun's boss, and I even commuted his sentence to Leizhou! But Kou Zhun didn't accept my favor, and people spread rumors that it was my idea! "
"What kind of virtuous minister is Kou Zhun? I, Ding Wei, have done nothing better than him, and my achievements are less than his. To pacify the southwest, appease the border people, and manage water conservancy are all major achievements that will last forever! He, Kou Zhun, signed a contract with the Khitan people to lose power and humiliate the country. They are still complacent and proud of their covenant, and they take it as their own merit and write about it, how come there are such shameless standards in the world!"
"Kou Zhun and I were officials in the same dynasty, and we endured hardships for decades. It would be a lie to say that there was no friendship. In order to disgust me, Ding Wei, these people in power deliberately demoted me to Leizhou where Kou Zhun was in office. This is also true. Forget it, even the official position gave me the same position to join the army! Take care of the household registration, money and food here!"
"Now that I'm here, I thought that since we were both fallen from the sky, all the helpless past events should fade away long ago, so I took the initiative to go to Kou Zhun and wanted to let go of my grudges with a smile. Unexpectedly, I helped this man and let him My virtuousness has once again been witnessed by the world, and I have once again become the laughing stock of the world!"
Ding Wei took the initiative to find Kou Zhun, but Kou Zhun really had no sense at all. He didn't see Ding Wei and even publicized the matter to the world, using Ding Wei's reputation to prove his innocence to the world.
It's a bit disgusting indeed!
It turns out that the truth is like this. Kou Zhun is such a Kou Zhun. As expected, these people in power cannot be judged by morality. They only have power to be correct!
