Qiming 1158

Chapter 840 Descendants mourn, but do not learn from it
Yelu Chenghui's statement seemed a bit whimsical to Huo Jianbai.

As the No. [-] cronies of the emperor, the Yuan followers have always been the foundation of the emperor's reliance. They firmly held military power, judicial power and financial power. Only in terms of administrative power did they share profits with them.

Therefore, in the eyes of the high-level officials of the three factions, their existence is nothing more than a compromise made by Su Yonglin in order to dominate the world, or it also has some ideas to check and balance Yuan Cong, and not let Yuan Cong be too strong to damage him. .

Therefore, it is unlikely that Su Yonglin will kill the other three factions because of Yuan Cong's wishes.

It is impossible for Su Yonglin to indulge the Yuan Cong faction so powerful that it will threaten his own dominance.

This is not their whims, but lessons learned from time immemorial.

The emperor needs a strong army to build a country. A strong army means a group of arrogant soldiers, a group of arrogant soldiers who recognize and only recognize the emperor. They are strong, good at fighting, elite, and difficult to control.

It was fine before the founding of the country, they still had enemies and a sense of crisis. Once the founding of the country was successful and the boss succeeded in becoming the emperor, the people below would think that they were the great heroes of the founding of the country.

Emperors are emperors because they can be emperors. For the emperor's accession to the throne, they have suffered heavy casualties. Now that the world is at peace, can't they enjoy the fruits of victory?

So they started to get arrogant.

They either bully men and bully women, seize fields, embezzle money and bend the law, or seize power, they always feel that they must enjoy themselves and do whatever they want, so as to be worthy of their founding work.

And the emperor has to ask for anything from them, so that they can be regarded as paying attention to them.

And this kind of inflated psychology is the main reason that makes the original ruling foundation of these emperors become the main reason for endangering the rule. This kind of psychology often forces the founding emperors to kill and kill heroes.

This situation is not uncommon, and it will not be rare in all dynasties.

Later generations mourn, but do not learn from it, so there are not many people who can control their emotions so that they don't swell, and there are not many people who have a good death.

Although I haven't heard of any corruption by the generals of the Yuan Cong Department, Huo Jianbai feels that this is too soon.

Because the unification of the world has not yet been completed, the Southern Song Dynasty is still there. Once it is completed, the Southern Song Dynasty will be destroyed. Those elite soldiers and strong generals who have become arrogant because of their unification will definitely make a lot of trouble, and there will definitely be arrogant soldiers who will trample the law soon. Embarrassing situation for the emperor.

And the emperor is a visionary, it is impossible to raise Yuan Cong too fat and strong for the sake of temporary likes and dislikes, so that no one can help to eliminate this group of people in the back.

"The Yuan Cong gang?"

Huo Jianbai frowned and said, "Is it Tian Guizi? Or Kong Maojie? I don't think it is possible. I think even if they do this, His Majesty may not really kill the Shandong people. Does he not want to check and balance the government?
Taking a step back, did he really trust his old men so much?If so, how did Jiang Yu fall?Jiang Yu didn't bend the law, he just abused his power, not to the point of committing a crime, and just like that, he was taken down. "

Huo Jianbai's remarks made Yelu Chenghui nod slowly.

Yelu Chenghui also felt that Su Yonglin did not completely believe in Yuan Cong, otherwise Jiang Yu, who was close to him, would not have fallen, and Yuan Cong, who had made great contributions, would not be attacked.

Jiang Yuke was a former military officer who had made military exploits and won awards. He was considered half an officer, and later he was transferred to serve as an administrative officer.

It can only be said that Su Yonglin is also guarding against Yuan Cong, and restricting Yuan Cong, and does not fully regard them as a team that can break with the country.

Therefore, it is unlikely that Su Yonglin will kill Shandong because of Yuan Cong's report.

But now it's obviously a situation of massacre.

"What you said makes sense. I also think that if Yuan Cong reported this matter, it would not be the case. Moreover, Shandong people have always respected the elderly Yuan Cong and dared not fight against it. The elderly Yuan Cong did not need to do this. Do."

Yelu Chenghui paused for a while, then said slowly: "But no matter who it is, the Shandong people will be out of luck this time. I think they are tired and crooked for the Yellow River project. Even if they are involved in Zhongdu, I will Don't find it strange."

"Yes."

Huo Jianbai couldn't help but smile: "Looking at them swearing at us all day long, they are very skilled at fetching money, and they are very courageous for things we dare not do. This time, count me as a loser. already."

"Even if you win this kind of thing, there's nothing to say, right? Isn't that courting death?"

Yelu Chenghui said with a smile: "Let's look at the results of this time against Shandong. If things really get serious and involve the Ministry of Rites, then it will be a good show."

Huo Jianbai also nodded.

After a while, Huo Jianbai raised his mouth, either intentionally or unintentionally.

"This time, it's strange. If something like this happened in the past, it was basically a central outbreak, involving a local area, but there was no such thing as this time, a local outbreak, and then in turn involving the central court."

Yelu Chenghui thought for a while and said, "Perhaps the matter is really big, and the amount of corruption is unimaginable, but no matter what, this time Kong Zheng's gang will lose their skin if they don't die. It is said that His Majesty has been dissatisfied with the Kong family for a long time, this time, we really have a good show to watch."

"Then wait and see!"

Huo Jianbai laughed out loud.

That night, Yelu Yuanyi secretly came to Yelu Chenghui's home and told Yelu Chenghui what he had learned from his investigation.

"It's really not the news leaked by our people. Yelujin has some clues that involve Yidu Mansion, and this matter seems to be related to Kong. He is digging deeply and did not report this matter to His Majesty. So this matter is really not led by our people.”

"If it weren't for us, the Yanyun people wouldn't have that ability, and the Shandong people couldn't play so much tossing themselves, so the answer is very clear."

Yelu Chenghui said in a low voice, "This is what Your Majesty is leading, and what His Majesty decides to do."

"Will Your Majesty do this?"

Yelu Yuanyi frowned and asked: "Such a destabilizing thing... This is not a trivial matter. According to our estimation, most of the Shandong prefectures will be involved, and hundreds of officials will be implicated. This is not a trivial matter.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he has always demanded stability. His Majesty has repeatedly mentioned the stability of the central and local governments, and demanded stability to develop and restore the ruins of the Central Plains. Now that the Yellow River Project is underway, and at this moment, such a large-scale anti-corruption campaign is being implemented. It's too much in line with His Majesty's usual style of doing things. "

"Your Majesty's behavior? What do you think is His Majesty's behavior?"

Yelu Chenghui smiled and said: "Your Majesty is the first emperor since Liu Bang to say that he is not the son of the day, and he definitely doesn't want the son of the day. As long as he is a human emperor, I don't find it strange for such an emperor to do anything... Only in this situation It is indeed not very appropriate to implement anti-corruption in Shandong."

Yelu Chenghui put away his smile and felt a little disobedient.

"So, is your Majesty doing this just to make the Yellow River repair smoothly?"

"Then it's enough to choose a few of the most heinous crimes to deal with. It's enough to kill the chickens to warn the monkeys. There's no need to clean up with the monkeys, right?"

Yelu Chenghui skillfully used the knowledge he had learned from the history books, and felt that this was indeed not something that a simple political animal could do.

"Then what shall we do? Are we going to fall into trouble, or..."

"how do you want to do it?"

Yelu Chenghui looked at Yelu Yuanyi.
