Chapter 9 Appendix I

On that day, after going to the imperial gate, Shi Xing and others were summoned to meet in the warm pavilion of Huangji gate.In the above, Zhao Kehuai, governor of Shaanxi, played a report on the situation of captives. Shi Xing said: "I have recently read the play by Fu Mei Yousong, governor of Shaanxi, and others. It is said that the king of captives led troops across the river and invaded the interior. How about this?" Shi Xing and others said: "Recently Tao An accident occurred in the state, the general was killed and the army was killed, and the ministers were deeply worried. Fu Mengsheng asked, and the ministers dared to make a brief statement: Outside the Tao River, they are all Fan tribes. There are two kinds of Fan tribes. Those who use tea and horses are cooked Fans. , the rest are raw. In the past, the captives could not ride, but they were just guarding against the bandits, so their weapons were weak, and they could not be stopped in a hurry. Now the king of the captives crossed the river, because he was seduced by Huo Luochi, mostly for robbery, and he was afraid of China. Rescue, so he claims to be an internal criminal. However, the captives are cunning, so we must guard against them." Shang said: "Fan people are also my young children. The places of Fan people are all the lands opened up by their ancestors. The governor has an edict, entrusted by the court, and usually What are you doing? You can't take precautions, and you don't come to report until you cross the river in the captive chieftain. It can be seen that the frontier preparations are slack. When the emperor's ancestors crashed on all sides, the governors took it seriously. The court has its own laws." Shi Xing waited: " The emperor blamed the governor for not being able to improve the frontier affairs. He looked up at Sheng Mingying's decision, and the border ministers were also cautious. Now he is about to instruct him to select generals for training and arrange them in time." Zhanbu, he is only used when there is something to do. It is like every side, but there are credits, the governor has a promotion and a reward, and he recognizes it as his own merit. If something happens, he will push it to the general and prevaricate." Shi Xing and others said: "Every side is civil and military. Generals and officials have their own duties, such as the governor-general, who is only the supervisor and dispatcher. If military officers are used in battle, from the commander-in-chief down, there will be deputy commander-in-chief, generals, guerrillas, and guards. Discuss crimes." Shang said: "The ancient civil servants are like Du Yu, who don't straddle the saddle, and can't shoot through the sword. Zhuge Liang's towel and feather fan can do military service, so why must they be military officials?" Shi Xing and others answered: "These two officials have been in ancient times. There are very few talents, and talents are rare. The ministers should pass it on to the Ministry of War, and pass it on to the governors and ministers to manage them with all their heart, so as to relieve the emperor's worries at night." Shang said: "A general must be courageous and comprehensive. It is good to fight once." Shi Xing and others said: "Generals are hard to come by. Since the payment of tribute, there have been few frontier generals who have fought in battle." Shang said: "Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. It's just that we don't make good use of them. Although it is related to Zhang's bravery, it will not help." Shi Xing and others said: "Recently, Ke Dao made a suggestion to recommend generals. The ministers and others once said to the Ministry of War, and they will reply as soon as possible. Today, the Jiuqing Ke Dao will recommend together." Shang said: "The day before yesterday, the imperial censor recommended two generals." At that time The line waited for a pair: "One of the generals recommended is Wang Huaxi, who once served as an admiral on patrol. The ministers and others have seen him personally, and he is also a middle-level talent. He should only be the commander in chief. The other is Yin Bingheng, who was once called a good general, but is now old." Shang said: "It doesn't matter how old you are. Isn't Zhao Chongguo a veteran? As long as you have a plan." Shi Xing and others said: "The general is in the plan but not in the brave. The sage sees the wise, and it is beyond the reach of the ministers." The emperor said: "I am within the ninefold, and the side affairs I can't know all about it. Qing and others are my thighs, so we should separate them carefully. Nowadays, the frontiers are slack, not only in Shaanxi. Or send the powerful Kedao or the ministers of Jiuqing to go. If the army has enough to make up for, money and food should be set up. Rectify one by one. The book says: Everything is prepared and there is no danger. We must take advantage of the current situation to collect the house, and it will be more difficult in the future." Shi Xing and others said: "At the beginning, the payment of tribute to the captives was originally for internal defense and external restraint. It was only for favor Stealing safety is becoming more and more slack. Therefore, after three years of viewing, either send Kechen, or send him to patrol the censor." Shang said: "ThreeAnnual reading is very poor.It's very bad now. " Shi Xing and others said: "The ministers and others are discussing in the cabinet. They should push one of the ministers to go to manage the strategy, and pay more attention to their powers, so that all parties can connect with each other and act conveniently.Rong Chen and others wrote a post to invite the Holy Judge. Shang said: "I still plan to have two people come." "It has been said again about the payment of tribute. It said: "The emperor will test the sage again. Shi Xing and others said: "It has been 20 years since I responded to the adversary and begged for title, and Emperor Lai Kao Shenmo made an arbitrary decision and promised to pay tribute. More than a million lives have been preserved on each side." Shang said: "You can't rely on paying tribute for a long time."There is a lesson to be learned from the Song Dynasty. "Shi Xing waited for the answer: "Our dynasty is different from that of Song Dynasty.In the Song Dynasty, China was weak and the barbarians were strong. They were originally enemy countries.Now that the northern captives are honoring their ministers and paying money, China's body is self-respecting, but it should not be forgotten because of this. Shang said: "Although they are different, you can't flatter them."If you are arrogant, how can you be tired of it?You must repair your own military equipment and keep the borders. " Shi Xing and others said: "today's border affairs can neither be taken lightly than a decisive battle, nor can they be dedicated to the master.It is a perfect strategy to keep the frontiers closed, guard the pass according to the danger, strengthen the walls and clear the country, so that the captives will not be plundered.The emperor's temple is far-reaching, and the frontier ministers and common people follow it.As for the size of the accident, the severity of the situation.If the accident is small and the crime is a crime, then the frontier ministers will wait and see and shrink back.On the contrary, the captive chieftain had to take it seriously.Not so inspiring.From now on, I especially hope that the emperor will be lenient in grammar and nuclear crimes. Shang said: "Now the accident is not trivial." " Shi Xing and others said: "Jian En will be punished leniently, and Rong Chen will pass on the message to the border ministers, and then he will be grateful. "Shang Fu asked how the second auxiliary disease was safe. Shi Xing waited and said: "Chen Xijue is really sick, and he has repeatedly asked to go away. It is a last resort. Shang said: "Now when something happens, it's time to offer our loyalty and support. How can we go?" "Shi Xing and others said: "The emperor's attention to Xi Jue is the kindness of his generous assistant ministers, and the ministers are also grateful.But Xijue's illness is lingering.The ministers and other relatives came to his bed and saw that his body was thin and his mind was sad, so he couldn't force him to stay. Shang said: "Take care calmly, and you will be cured immediately." "Shi Xing waited for Weiwei. Because of kowtowing, he played: "I have not seen the sky for half a month. Today I look at the court and look up to know that the holy body is safe. I am very relieved. Shang said: "I still have dizziness and arm pain, and it is inconvenient to walk."Today is a special border matter, and I will discuss it with Qing and others. " Shi Xing and others kowtowed and played: "Fu Wang is extremely precious. "Shang said again: "I heard that there are many mine thieves along the Wutai Road in Shanxi, who gather and loot. How can the local officials hide and not report? "Shi Xing and others played: "I recently heard that there were mine thieves gathered in Songxian County, Henan Province, and the governor sent troops to expel them, and they had been disbanded. Shang said: "It's Wutai in Shanxi, and I know it because of the Shi family." "I was afraid that Shi Xing and others would mistakenly think that something was wrong. He said: "The Shi family is a Buddhist family and once sent people to incense ears. "Shi Xing and others are right: "there are thieves and thieves gathering in the local area, and the magistrates hide and do not report. "
