Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 109 Make Another Bet
In Zhao Guangmei's script, Li Cunxu must be a hero, benevolent and caring for the people, and all kinds of good words to describe the emperor must be piled on him. The plot of conquering the Liang Dynasty can be briefly passed, but the story of the two rejecting the Khitans must be It should be extremely exciting and make it everyone’s idol.

Is the dynasty he founded also the Later Tang Dynasty? In fact, he can be written in the same way as Liu Bei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he and Li Keyong can be written as loyal ministers:
The Thirteen Taibao Taoyuan Thirteen are sworn brothers,

This worship will not change until life and death,
When Li Keyong was dying, he repeatedly murmured to help the Tang Dynasty.

The Ji Han in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was directly applied to the Later Tang Dynasty. I changed it a little bit and it almost fits perfectly.

And the ninth among the thirteen Taibao, Li Cunxu's first general, Li Cunxun, who is also Fu Yanqing's father, Fu Cunshen, will naturally be shaped into a loyal and brave person through the ages, going straight to the direction of Guan Erye in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. If you write it, you will directly place the Fu family on the moral shelf of eternal loyalty and prevent them from coming down. It would be better to highlight one of their loyalties and let the people build a temple for him.

If the people can really praise you to the level of Guan Erye, then even if all the men in your family die, the women will be there.

Killing two birds with one stone, it can not only create a high-quality idol, but also kidnap the morals of the entire Fu family, increase their self-esteem, and separate the moral cost of one side, a win-win situation.

Of course, in this case, as long as Fu Yanqing's family does not rebel or rebel, it can almost be said that they have a golden body. However, the status of the Fu family is also transcendent, so it doesn't matter. Their family has resisted the Liao Dynasty for three generations, which gives them a reputation. There is nothing undeserved about special treatment in terms of honor and honor.

This approach not only emphasizes the attribute of loyalty and the tragedy of the Later Tang Dynasty, but also subtly brainwashes the soldiers. It also strengthens the national identity, cultivates the hatred of the Liao soldiers in the imperial army, and even invisibly makes the soldiers understand that the Song Dynasty succeeded the Tang Dynasty. The control of Yan and Yun was the territory in ancient times and was the core interest. Any attempt to maintain the status quo was not allowed. From now on, anyone who dares to maintain the status quo and reconcile with the Liao, regardless of martial arts, will be a traitor.

In this way, Li Cunxu's corruption and mistreatment of his heroes in the later period of his administration will naturally be downplayed, and the gradual separation of the army from him will naturally be blamed on a certain hypocritical villain. Who is this hypocritical villain? ?That would naturally be Li Siyuan.

This is the eldest of the Thirteen Taibao. He is a sworn brother with Li Cunxu and Li Cunxen. It is said that Li Cunxu treats him as a brother, so he has great trust in him and is not defensive. However, he has been secretly plotting rebellion and engaging in conspiracy. It actually worked to deceive the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army at that time.

Even the matter of Shi Jingtang's offering to Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture can be pinned on his head as much as possible. After all, he was his son-in-law.

The person behind this statement also denied the legality of the Forbidden Army's mutiny. If this story can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, maybe in the future when the Forbidden Army mutinies or buys and sells kings, they will also think about it for a moment and whether they will be "Li Siyuan". "Deceived.

Well, apart from the fact that the historical data is a bit far-fetched, the historical view is completely correct.

This thing is just like "The Loyal and Righteous Generals of the Yang Family". To be honest, the 24 histories added together are not as good at shaping the Chinese people's view of history as this book, which is full of errors and omissions.

Furthermore, historical materials serve the historical perspective after all, and the history of the Tang Dynasty has not yet been concluded. Wouldn’t it be enough to find some historical materials to support this view?History is like a little girl who can be dressed up by others. The reputation of a dead person, isn’t that to serve the living?
You must know that the Guard Division in the Forbidden Army was formerly the Guard Army created by Li Cunxu. Many of them retired but are still alive. They really followed Li Cunxu, and they may even have really gone to Fu Cunxu with Li Cunxu. Beat up Yelu Abaoji.

Although Fu Cunshen's son Fu Yanqing is now over 70 years old, he is still alive after all. He is still the king of the Song Dynasty with a different surname, the King of Wei. He directly praises his father on the altar, which is naturally a good thing for him. , it is foreseeable that one day he will die suddenly, and Fu Asi will become a god with a worthy evaluation. Is this a good thing for these living people?

With the interests of so many living people involved, what kind of historical data is that important?Who cares whether Li Siyuan is wronged or not?Oh, civil servants care.

Nonsence!

As expected, civil servants are all a bunch of cheaters. Li Siyuan was right in not paying attention to civil servants.

But after all, history books are compiled by civil servants. In this kind of matter, the right to speak is still with others. You, a martial artist, can quarrel with others on this kind of matter. You will be damned if you can quarrel with others.

Not to mention revising Tang Huiyao, even if it was just to revise the script, if Wang Pu himself was not willing to write in the general direction given by Zhao Guangmei, Zhao Guangmei would not be able to put a knife on his neck and force him to write...right?

You definitely can't do this kind of thing unless you have to. Can the author really lock him up in a dark room if he doesn't update it?
The views of those civil servants are also very simple. History can provide a clear guide, and reading the past can reveal the present. History is a very serious matter. If the Tang Dynasty can never change it, as for the storytelling script, you can find someone else to change it.

This kind of drama, if it is a down-and-out scholar in the market, then you can write it how you like and use it however you like. Everyone will have fun watching it. But Wang Xianggong is the husband-in-law. Even the former husband-in-law is still the husband-in-law. , Mr. Xianggong can just talk nonsense, can he write something nonsense?
Besides, if Tang Hui was also compiled by him, future generations would definitely give him the title of historian when evaluating Wang Pu. If a historical novel written by a historian must have some historical value, right?

History should be serious and conscientious, and it should be the art of emperors. Kings of all dynasties should learn lessons from history. Li Cunxu's defeat was due to his close and virtuous minister Yuan Xiaoren. As for Li Siyuan's rebellion, it was because of being betrayed by the Ya soldiers. Coercion and confusion, but Li Siyuan reused civil servants to recuperate and make the people live in peace and contentment. He should be a benevolent ruler. These are things you need to learn from officials. How can you change it willfully?Do you want to imitate Li Cunxu and engage in military violence?

Oh, officials~, this is the way to subjugate the country!

On the surface, the debate in this big ceremony seemed to be evenly matched, but that was because Zhao Guangmei had already stepped down personally, and Zhao Kuangyin was actually trying to sidestep the situation.

But these people who are good at adapting to the situation are actually not good at it!

Even Zhao Pu is a master who governs the world with half of the Analects. Discussing history and debating scriptures are all high-end activities among civil servants.

The most important thing is that Wang Pu's hand belongs to him, and Zhao Kuangyin doesn't want to replace him. What are historical materials and what happened in history are decided by others. When you go to debate, you must have arguments.

Then the debate became more and more chaotic, and old soldiers were constantly being called to the court to come forward and explain themselves. This incident later alarmed Fu Yanqing, and he and Wang Quanbin were called back. , because it was the two of them who collected Li Cunxu's body when he died.

Zhao Guangmei also tried to give Fu Yanqing the pen to write. After all, it was equivalent to writing a memoir for him, but in fact, his literary talent and level were far behind Wang Pu, and the writing was not good at all. .

This matter is just stuck here.

Zhao Guangmei was not in a hurry, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't sit still at first, and took the initiative to find Zhao Guangmei and said: "The reason for the great discussion is actually becoming more and more confusing the more we argue. If we continue to argue like this, it will become a problem for the Forbidden Army." The soldiers have spread the history, and by then, even if this play is written, how meaningful will it still be?"

Of course Zhao Guangmei understands this meaning, because in history, Li Cunxu did go in the direction of being a single husband and a weak king in the later period of his administration. Objectively speaking, Li Cunxu was constantly suspicious of Li Siyuan, and it was indeed the third child who failed the boss first. These are all facts, and they are It only has a history of more than 30 years so far, and the parties involved are still alive. How can it be so easy to label a deer as a horse?
If all the soldiers of the Forbidden Army knew the truth of history, wouldn't this drama be in vain, at least the effect would be greatly reduced.

In Zhao Kuangyin's mind, this drama was clearly a patriotic education lesson for the soldiers of the Forbidden Army.

That night, Zhao Guangmei had to go to find Wang Pu again with two kilograms of good wine. This time, he got straight to the point and said: "Ms. Wang, have you heard about the incident in Huainan? I heard that this time the disaster relief is not included. It went so smoothly.”

Wang Pu said noncommittally: "In the past dynasties, when did disaster relief go smoothly? At present, the person who is providing disaster relief in Huainan is Shen Yilun. Although this person is an official, he has too little qualifications and is not a Jinshi. How can he be convinced? Everyone?"

"Yes, what Shen Yilun did this time was indeed not very good. Then Mr. Wang, if you were asked to replace Shen Yilun as the disaster relief envoy, do you think you could do better than him?"

"What do you mean?"

"I just want to make a bet with you. On this mission, you will be the chief and I will be the deputy. You will go to Yang, Bo, and Suzhou, and I will go to Chu, Hai, and Taizhou. You will use your civil servants, and I will use my trading firm. , you withdrew 100 million guan from the accounts of the Third Division, and I appropriated 100 million guan from the commercial bank. Let’s see, who can govern better? Let’s compare, in the end, should civil servants be used extensively in this governance place? Or...should we find a different way?"

"Do you use a trading company? Just rely on those merchants and veterans?"

"Correct."

Wang Pu took a deep look at Zhao Guangmei when he heard this.

"Okay, if you win, I will write the script for the Romance of the Five Dynasties that you want."

"A word is settled"
