Chapter 1003 Laughing at Yang
After hearing the news that Yang Jisheng had spared no room and was impeached with his life, Zhao Wenhua and Yan Song were greatly eclipsed, and the atmosphere in the entire study became depressing.
"Hahaha..."
Just when the atmosphere was getting more and more depressing, a burst of uncontrollable laughter suddenly came from the study.
In the depressing atmosphere of the study, this laughter stood out from the crowd, attracting everyone's attention at once.
Then, a fat one-eyed man with a wide grin appeared in everyone's sight - Yan Shifan.
"East Tower?" Yan Song turned to look at Yan Shifan, frowning slightly.
"Haha, dad, I was laughing at Yang Jisheng..." Yan Shifan replied with a grin without caring.
“Huh?” Yan Song was puzzled.
"Dad, if anyone else were to impeach you, I would be nervous, but as for Yang Jisheng, I only find it funny." Yan Shifan said with a smile on his face, and was very disdainful when talking about Yang Jisheng.
"What's wrong with Yang Jisheng?" Yan Song frowned again.
Zhao Wenhua and Zhou Fangzheng also looked at Yan Shifan, wondering why Yang Jisheng's death and impeachment were so funny.
"Dad, if someone else dies, at least your blood will be splashed all over your body. Yang Jisheng's death is a joke. I guess you can't even see him. He is already on the south wall of the fork in the road. It was so smashed that I couldn't even pick it off," Yan Shifan replied with a smile.
“Why do you say this?” Yan Song was puzzled.
"That's right, Brother Donglou, I'm a little confused by what you're saying." Zhao Wenhua couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, this idiot Yang Jisheng is the most self-righteous fool I have ever seen or heard of in history! Yang Jisheng calls himself a loyal and upright minister, but in my opinion, he is actually a patriotic thief!" Yan Shifan Grinning and shaking his head, he commented on Yang Jisheng with a sneer and was extremely disdainful and contemptuous of Yang Jisheng.
"Huh? A patriotic thief?" Zhao Wenhua was stunned when he heard this.
Even Zhou Fangzheng, who was betraying Yang Jisheng, was stunned. Yan Shifan said that Yang Jisheng was stupid and so on. Zhou Fangzheng could understand it, and he thought so too. Yang Jisheng did not hug Yan Song's extended thigh. , instead of destroying his own future without thinking, he impeached Yan Song and did it knowingly that he couldn't do it. Isn't this stupid? ! But Zhou Fangzheng couldn't understand the idea that Yang Jisheng was a patriotic thief. To be honest, Yang Jisheng's impeachment of Yan Song was out of patriotism and love for the people. This was the expression of his patriotism. How could he become a patriotic thief in Yan Shifan's mouth? Woolen cloth?
"This Yang Jisheng, I have been following him for a while, haha, and I have come to such a conclusion." Yan Shifan said with a smile on his face, "Actually, there are many such patriotic thieves in history. I have summarized a patriotic rule thief To put it simply, the standard is that he was "excellent in character and study when he was young, he studied hard in his youth, he was upright and upright by nature, he was patriotic in both words and deeds, but in fact he was harmful to the country and the people, and his death was miserable."
"Zhao during the Warring States Period." Count one, you Did Zhao Kuo say he was patriotic? He loved it to the core. He was surrounded by the Qin army and was in a desperate situation. He still cherished Zhao Kuo and would rather die than surrender. In the end, he died on the battlefield for Zhao Kuo and was shrouded in horse leather. But what happened? His patriotism brought Zhao The more than 400,000 Zhao troops were wiped out and all were killed by Bai Qi. The capital Handan was besieged by the Qin army for a year, and the country was almost destroyed! ? ”
Yan Shifan flicked a finger and said, after mentioning the example of Zhao Kuo, Yan Shifan flicked another finger and continued, "Taking a closer look, Ma Zhi in the Northern Song Dynasty, also known as Zhao Liangsi, is one. Haha, this guy is also a typical example A patriotic thief. Ma Zhi was a native of Yan in the late Northern Song Dynasty. He was a member of the Liao clan and was a resident of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun in our country. At that time, the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was occupied by the Liao Dynasty. Ma Zhi was in the heart of the enemy country. In the Song Dynasty, Ma Zhi took advantage of the opportunity to cherish his homeland day and night. Tong Guan, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, had the opportunity to visit the Liao Kingdom. He secretly met with Tong Guan and proposed a plan to regain the sixteen states of Yanyun, which was to cultivate the Jurchen tribe who had been oppressed by the Khitan nobles, and started the absurd policy of uniting with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty. , not facing oneself Strength, distant friendship and close attack also need to be backed by strong strength, otherwise it will be to seek the skin of a tiger, but such a ridiculous plan is regarded by the political situation of the Northern Song Dynasty as a powerful opponent in the contemporary world, and Ma Zhi is promoted. Jue. Xuanhe period. Ma Zhi went to the Jin Dynasty seven times to make an agreement with Agu to attack the Liao Dynasty, which led to the absurd national policy of uniting the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty. Haha, the result of his patriotism was that once the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, the Jin Kingdom began to pursue the idea of the Northern Song Dynasty. Within a few months, the Jin Kingdom tore up the alliance, and the South Invading the Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed two years later. Ma Zhi, a fool who was the initiator of the alliance with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty, was naturally executed by the Northern Song Dynasty after the Jin Dynasty invaded the Song Dynasty. "
Yan Shifan cited this. After two examples, Zhao Wenhua nodded slightly. He nodded, but asked doubtfully, "Brother Donglou, we all know the two patriotic thieves you mentioned, but Yang Jisheng"
"Haha, but when it comes to patriotic thieves, we This Yang Jisheng did not try to make any concessions. Let me give two examples. Son, the first one is Yang Jisheng's famous work, "Ten Impossibles and Five Misconceptions" to impeach Qiu Luan. Haha, you, my father, and Meicun must be deeply impressed by Yang Jisheng's memorial."
Yan Shifan said with a smile.
Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua nodded slightly. Of course they had an impression of this memorial. It had only been a few years.
This happened the year before last.
When talking about this memorial, it is inseparable from the Gengxu Changes.
In June of the 29th year of Jiajing, the Anda rebels led tens of thousands of barbarians to invade the border of Ming Dynasty. They started from Datong. In August, they defeated the Ming army in Gubeikou and entered the fortress. On the same day, the barbarians rushed to the suburbs of Beijing. The clouds were thick, and they marched to Tongzhou the next day. They divided their forces and plundered Changping. The barbarian cavalry advanced directly to the capital and laid siege to the city. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this is the second time that the capital has been besieged.
In order to break the siege, the Holy Emperor adopted Xu Jie's suggestion, agreed to Anda's request for tribute, and promised to conduct tribute negotiations after Anda withdraws from outside the Great Wall. In fact, Yan Song himself supported this at the time. Yan Song saw that the traitor had no intention of attacking the capital, his purpose was to pay tribute. If you are defeated by the border, you can hide, but if you are defeated by the suburbs, you can't hide. If the enemy is full and will disappear, the best strategy is to build a strong wall. Xu Jie's suggestion was exactly what Yan Song wanted, so Yan Song supported it.
After receiving the reply from the court, the rebels quickly withdrew their troops and returned to the outside of the fortress. In December, they sent envoys to demand tribute. Under Qiu Luan's advice, the Holy Spirit decided to open the border horse market and pay tribute to the rebels.
At this time, Yang Jisheng, who was a member of the Ministry of War, opposed it. The memorial he wrote was the "Ten Impossibles and Five Mistakes" mentioned. (End of this chapter)
