Chapter 446: Don't use Wu Zetian first

In Chen Zhengtai's heart, if you carefully analyze Wu Zetian, you will probably know that there is no surprise that she has become a famous, ruthless, and unrecognized empress.

Wu Zetian has gone through four stages in her life, and each stage is constantly shaping and strengthening her temperament since then.

Her mother, the Yang family, was supposed to be a nobleman, but unfortunately, when she was born, with the fall of the Sui Dynasty, she did not enjoy the benefits of this family, but made the Wu family a huge burden, so she was criticized since she was a child.

And the death of her father, the situation was exacerbated, the half-brothers and sisters regarded them as the plague, and the brothers were eager to immediately drive their mother and son out of the door, this year, she was only twelve years old, she was just ignorant, shy, and did not dare to leave home easily, but she had to travel a long distance and go away with her mother.

After that, he entered the palace, there is no doubt that the palace is not loved by Li Shimin, although it has become Zhaoyi, but this is almost the lowest among the concubines, the environment in the palace is already sinister, many concubines come from prominent families, and she is a low-level concubine from Valle Yue who is not prominent, and she must suffer from people's eyes and suppression.

The fourth stage is that she finally became Li Zhi's queen, she should have raised her eyebrows, at this time, she no longer faced the things in the harem, but began to face the illustrious nobles and family officials, the queen's dignity, and did not bring her the respect of these people, in fact, these tough guys, not only look down on Wu Zetian, but even Li Zhi also looks down on them, arrogant soldiers, hundreds of years of family history, the founder of the country, God knows how much eye medicine Wu Zetian has given him.

Thus...... After learning about Wu Jue's life experience, Chen Zhengtai can also understand why Wu Zetian has no concern about the so-called family affection in history, in her mind, everything can be used, she can use the Li family's royal family, and she can also use the Wu family's relatives, as long as it is beneficial to herself, she will be greatly enveloped, and once it is unfavorable, then it is bound to be eliminated quickly, and there is no emotion to talk about.

This is the growth history of a strong woman, but if it is ...... Has her growth trajectory changed?

Chen Zhengtai was still a little undecided, he leaned on the carriage, ignoring Wu Jue, who was cautious and flattering on the side, but he couldn't help but think hard at this time.

Can it be changed?

If it can be changed, this girl may be of great use to the Chen family.

But if it can't be changed, then ...... This man is a scourge.

Thinking about Wu Zetian's methods in history, Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but shudder!

In the core of the Tang Empire, there are countless proud soldiers, countless children of the clan who have been passed down for hundreds of years, and those who are extremely smart and have risen from the bottom among the dragons and phoenixes, these people ...... All of them were played by her in applause, but as long as her mind moved, she could destroy a giant clan that had been rooted for hundreds of years and continued to multiply. As soon as she coughed, countless people were frightened and kowtowed.

Wu Jue didn't dare to speak at this time until the carriage stopped and the Chen family finally arrived.

Chen Zhengtai got out of the car, and Wu Jue also came down step by step.

Chen Zhengtai glanced back at Wu Jue: "Where do you live?" ”

"I live here in Erpigou." Wu Jue said: "It's more lively here. ”

Chen Zhengtai bowed his head and said, "You go home first, and come back in a few days." ”

In Wu Jue's eyes, there was a little disappointment, but he still bowed his head well: "Huh." ”

Then he left.

Chen Zhengtai looked at the distant back, summoned a guard beside him, and said in a low voice: "Check this person, I want to know everything about her in Erpigou." ”

The guard nodded.

The manpower of the Chen family is not inexhaustible, at least another group of people followed Xuanzang to the west, and Chen Zhengtai felt that the Chen family was a little colder.

He even felt pity in his heart, shouldn't he recruit a group of mining children to come back?

But think about it carefully, he threatened Chen Aixiang to mine, and Chen Aixiang ran to the Western Regions, and one day, if he learned that after he came back, a large number of children came back from the mine, and he must vomit three liters of blood.

That's fine.

And the next day it was a great pilgrimage.

Chen Zhengtai got up early in the morning, packed his bags, and entered the palace to Taiji Palace.

In the Taiji Hall, Li Shimin was already sitting upright, and hundreds of officials saluted.

This kind of dynasty is more like a summary of some previous court affairs, and it has nothing to do with Chen Zhengtai anyway.

However, there are many people who mention Chen Zhengtai, and the new Internet celebrity still has face.

Not surprisingly, there are more people who scold.

The people of Datang are more strong, which is understandable.

Many people criticize the training of new soldiers.

Why train recruits? There are enough forbidden troops in the imperial court, and there are still many hussars in the local area, which are enough to deal with any external troubles and internal troubles. Moreover, the new army still belongs to the East Palace Guard on the surface, what does the East Palace need so many soldiers and horses for?

As for recruiting the children of hundreds of workers, it is even more unreasonable, the foundation of the country comes from a good family, what is called an agricultural society, the backbone of the agricultural society is the grassroots are the children of large and small landlords, such talents are born innocent.

The fact that the target of this discrimination was also recruited into the army is the same as recruiting slaves into the army.

"Does Your Majesty know about the Battle of Makino? In the battle of Muye, the king of Shang summoned slaves to enrich the merchant army, but as a result, the slaves and prisoners of war in the merchant army had no fighting spirit and defected one after another, so the army was defeated. In the minister's view, the harm of joining the army from a non-good family is too great, hundreds of workers are separated from farming, and like businessmen, they are only small profits in their eyes, they are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they have no heart to defend the land, and they can use kitsch and lewd skills as their ability, can Datang trust such a person? Even if there are only 5,000 people in a new army, I am afraid that this case will greatly dampen the morale of our Tang army, and I implore Your Majesty to think twice. ”

Seeing that Li Shimin ignored it.

It was Wei Qingxue, the squire of the military department, who spoke, and Wei Qingxue immediately looked at Chen Zhengtai: "What does the Korean public think?" ”

Chen Zhengtai had no choice but to say: "This...... To ask Your Majesty. ”

Wei Qingxue had no choice but to look at Li Shimin again: "Isn't Your Majesty still going to say anything?" ”

Li Shimin glared at Chen Zhengtai and said: "This is Chen Zhengtai's suggestion." ”

"But you are Your Majesty, Your Majesty is arbitrary and has his own opinions."

"I mean...... Let's see, although the children of hundreds of workers have many disadvantages, but in any case, they are also my people of the Tang Dynasty, let them join the army and fulfill their duty to defend the land, why not? ”

"Such a person enters the army, he is a black sheep, not only can not improve the combat effectiveness of the army, but also spoil the few money and food in the military department, and even make other military horses demoralized, the son of a good family joins the army, inheriting the grace of his fathers and ancestors, they ......"

"Alright." Li Shimin smiled and said, "Don't dwell on this matter." ”

Wei Qingxue stiffened her face: "...... minister"

At this time, someone said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that what Wei Shilang said is very true." ”

Everyone followed the sound and looked, and the person who stood up looked dignified and righteous.

It's just that as soon as he came out, even Li Shimin smiled helplessly.

It was the secretary and the young eunuch who stood up, that is, Wei Zheng, the original colleague of the Chen family.

Wei Zheng is a person...... The people in this court are well-known, not because he likes to advise, nor because he has a strong temperament, in fact, this person can stand out from Li Jiancheng's henchmen at the beginning, it is indeed a very talented thing, Li Shimin explained what he did, he can complete it very quickly, and it can make people happy and convinced.

Otherwise, a troll who only knows how to scold people, according to Li Shimin's temperament, coupled with his identity as Li Jiancheng's old party, this person is not even a very high rank, he would have kicked it open a long time ago, how could he have risen to the top later, and even became one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, ranking fourth, far higher than the status of many heroes and famous generals.

It is precisely because this person is capable, and if he doesn't speak, he will always be able to say the key point once he speaks, so Li Shimin has a sense of awe for him.

At this time, Wei Zheng said angrily: "People have their own temperament, since there were government soldiers, the imperial court is such a military system, and now it is changed without authorization, how can it be convincing the public?" Let's just say that the guards in the army, the ones selected are the best of the good families, such people can be loyal to the country and have strong combat effectiveness, and the children of Baigong have not been trained in cavalry and archery before, and there is no tradition of martial arts, so let them join the army, and the minister is most worried about ...... It will make the guards of Chang'an chill for it, and the morale in the army is the most important. If His Majesty puts the children of the hundred workers and the children of good families on the same footing, it will inevitably make them unconvinced. Moreover, the imperial court spent a lot of money and food, and it was too extravagant and wasteful to raise such a military horse that was difficult to achieve. ”

This is Wei Zheng's view.

The government military system can be passed down to this day, and the good family can continue to serve in the army to this day, it naturally has roots, and all dynasties have not tried to use other people to fight, but in fact the effect is very poor.

Until the government soldiers began to become popular, from the Southern Dynasties to the Northern Dynasties, people found that the government soldiers can often burst out of strong combat effectiveness, because of this, the past dynasties, the imperial court and the clan and the landlord group equivalent to reached an unwritten contract, that is, these people to the imperial court to provide soldiers, for the imperial court to fight, to provide talents, and the imperial court to give them a lot of preferential treatment, in this way, the court and the social foundation behind the good family, between each other, formed a mutual use, or interdependent relationship.

Now His Majesty and Chen Zhengtai's move, in Wei Zheng's view, is to shake the country's foundation, because according to past experience, there is really no need to change course, and in terms of system, only some small repairs need to be made.

The sons of good families have a natural sense of superiority, even if they are the most basic good families, although they are just ants in front of the clan, they can be very superior in front of merchants, hundreds of workers, untouchables, tribesmen, slaves and ordinary tenants, they may have an average family background, only two or three cattle and horses at home, and a hundred acres of Yongye land issued by the imperial court, but they live much better than the people of this era.

Once it is changed, it may shake the entire national capital, which is a very risky thing in Wei Zheng's view.

Of course, for the combat effectiveness of the children of hundreds of workers, according to the experience of the predecessors, Wei Zheng is of course never optimistic, which in Wei Zheng's view, this kind of person likes to steal and play tricks, has a bad mind, loves to take advantage of small advantages, and is by no means the material for being a soldier.

Li Shimin saw that Wei Zheng was complaining, but he smiled bitterly, and said: "This is Chen Zhengtai's suggestion." ”

Chen Zhengtai: "......"

Your Majesty, this is a bit lacking in morality.

was dumped by the emperor again and again, Chen Zhengtai knew that he couldn't pretend to be an invisible person, so he had to say: "Duke Wei, you have to try everything." ”

"There have been such attempts in all dynasties." Wei Zheng said: "I am the secretary and the young eunuch, in charge of the book, if the Han Gong does not believe it, I will find the book to show you." ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "The words in the book cannot be trusted. ”

Wei Zheng shook his head: "The Korean public is wrong, the book is the mirror of today's people, through the mirror to examine themselves, learn from the successful experience of the predecessors, and try not to touch the mistakes of the predecessors, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past, this is what today's people should do." ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "Even if Wei Xianggong doesn't believe in the children of Baigong, you can always believe me, I will do my best......"

When it comes to debate, ten Chen Zhengtai will not be Wei Zheng's opponents, Chen Zhengtai simply crossed over the children of hundreds of workers and didn't talk about it, let's say it directly, what do you think of me?

Wei Zheng glared at Chen Zhengtai: "I don't think you have any cleverness. ”

Chen Zhengtai: "......"

This hurts people too roughly and directly, okay!

Wei Zheng said: "After all, manpower has its limit, even if there is a talented person, he must follow the trend, instead of going against the current, even if he has great talent, he is just a reckless man." ”

Chen Zhengtai was not convinced, so he said: "I have cultivated a lot of scholars, and the university hall is proof of this, isn't this going against the current?" ”

"If you succeed once, how can you succeed a second time? Once it was a fluke. Wei Zheng said: "It's going to be a hospital test this year, and it just so happens that my eldest son Wei Shuyu is also going to take the hospital test, so the old man will wait and see." ”

Wei Zheng is very confident in this, this son was personally cultivated, and the article is excellent, no worse than the children of the university hall in the past two years.

Chen Zhengtai glanced at Wei Zheng deeply, he didn't expect that Wei Zheng ...... I actually want to slap myself in the face.

"In this way, then I hope he can go to high school, since Wei Xianggong believes that people can't go against the water, then...... I want to go against the tide once, Ling Gongzi is obviously a talent, the day of this college exam is approaching, so I might as well be so, I Chen Zhengtai will not bully you, I will simply accept a female student at will, these two months, I will teach her some reading and writing skills, then I want to see, is Lingzi powerful, or I am a good girl. It's just that...... If Wei Xianggong cultivates with all his strength and has high hopes for a son, he is not even as good as a woman? ”

After that, Chen Zhengtai looked at Wei Zheng with a smile.

It's just provoking you, how to drop?

When Wei Zheng heard this, he immediately blushed.

Angry.

Chen Zhengtai insulted me!
