If there is no balance in officialdom, it means that there are people who are dissatisfied.

And as with many things, the word absolute does not exist, so absolute balance does not appear at any time, and what can be achieved is only general balance.

Moreover, once the balance between civil and military is broken, the consequences are disastrous.

Therefore, the literati prefer the peaceful and prosperous times, and there is a saying that it is easy to fight the world and it is difficult to govern the world, and the self-flaunting of the literati, in turn, the warriors prefer the troubled times, and they also have their own sayings, that is, the troubled times produce heroes, which can also make men's blood boil.

Now Li Bi actually raised a real problem, in later words, that is, the balance is tilting, and it is impossible to return to zero, so we have to find a fulcrum for everyone again.

According to Li Bi's idea, being the king is such an opportunity, some meritorious officials must be prominent in front of others, this thing can't come slowly, and even if you can afford to wait, it is impossible to reward others, otherwise, everyone will definitely be dissatisfied, do you really think that you are Zhuge Kongming, and you can occupy a good position as soon as you come?

Li Po pondered for a long time, patted his wife's hand with a smile, and praised: "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?" ”

Okay, as soon as Li Bi saw his appearance, she knew that there must be a crooked reason waiting for him, so she shook off his hand, poured a cup first, stared at her husband with wide eyes, and said in her heart, what you want to say is not right, don't blame me for beating you.

Li Po blinked his eyes and thought, ah, it's not easy to fool, after giving birth to a child, this mother-in-law raised a fat and strong body, and even her IQ is much higher, is there such a side effect when giving birth to a child? Why don't I try it someday......

"Don't be impatient, rewards and punishments, I have a number in my heart, so many official positions, and to make the best use of people's talents, how difficult it is, when we were in Yanmen, there were three counties of Daizhou, and you also saw it when the governor's office was first established, Chen Xiaoyi, Wen Yanbo and others are wearing many hats......"

"At that time, there were few talents around us, so we could only use people like this, and now that we have Jinyang, we will go south and collect Jindi in the palm of our hands, do you feel that the place is big, and the talents are enough?"

"It's really not a good family, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are...... There is only one candidate for the secretary of the military department, and I have thought about it for a long time, and my hair is almost gray, and I have not come up with a suitable person. ”

"Wei Chigong and Bu Qun, the two earliest people to open the mansion, are also my confidants, but let them sit down in the position of the secretary of the military department, do you think it is appropriate?"

"Who among the other people can serve as the secretary of the military department? In this position, age, military merits, and prestige and seniority in the army, etc., are all indispensable, otherwise, Wei Chigong and Bu Qun will be dissatisfied. ”

"There is also the Ministry of Works, He Chou is appropriate, but can that person's age withstand hard work? Even such an important position is vacant, and everyone has to be convinced, how can it be fast? ”

Okay, the tigress's hair smoothed out at once, poured Li Po a full wine glass, and said a little awkwardly: "It's still thoughtful for the husband...... Hmph, Li Yuan is really hateful, if he hadn't stayed behind in Taiyuan at the beginning, he wouldn't have taken so many people away, but now we are stretched. ”

"Sooner or later, one day, we will let that dog thief know that we are powerful......"

Well, Li Yuan is really not unjust when Li Yuan wore this hat, when Li Yuan accepted the outlaws and gathered talents, most of them were naturally Jin people, and most of them followed Li Yuan to Chang'an.

But as a person in the Kansai world, the idea of using Jindi talents to restrain the children of the Kansai lord is indeed very good, but soon Li Yuan abandoned this unrealistic idea.

Chang'an has a pool of talents, both north and south, and it is not easy for the Jin people to gain a firm foothold in it.

In the time of Chengping, the Jin people are not brilliant, the text can not compare to the Jiangnan talents, and the martial arts will not become, to the war season, the situation of the Jin people is becoming more and more embarrassing, and most of the characters who came out of the Jin Dynasty gate valve can be said to be Wen is not martial, there are so many outstanding, and they can't hide the essence of the lack of talents in the Jin Dynasty.

In fact, this is still to blame for the original Han King Yang Liang, he rebelled and did not matter, but it was the Jin people who suffered, and there were not a few people involved in a turmoil back then, among which the Jin people were the majority.

There are also the two surnames of King Pei, these two Jin families, one south and one north, not only made the Jin land a lot more peaceful, but also suppressed the rise of various clans in the Jin land.

And the most important point is that the two clans of King Pei are famous for their clothes, what is the family of clothes? At the root, it is a family that seeks to advance by reading and reasoning.

This is obviously completely contrary to the concept of the Guanxi aristocracy based on the world, so when the Jin people were in charge of Yang Jian's father and son, there were very few Jin people who were reused.

Therefore, the surname Pei and Wang have completely deviated from the atmosphere of Jindi, which seems to be inaccurate, but in the turmoil of hundreds of years, it is the truth.

The Jindi Gate Valve, who has no martial arts self-defense, can neither compete with the wolf-like Kansai clan, nor can it be compared with the Hebei and Shandong military groups.

And on behalf of the border people, they have repeatedly resisted the Turks, and have trained a large number of veterans in previous wars.

Well, in fact, to sum it up, the kingship of the Jin land is becoming less and less powerful, and it is becoming more and more impossible for the Jin people to break through in the troubled times.

Just like now, the Jin people first bent their knees to Li Yuan, and then they were ruled by Li Po, which is not unreasonable, because at this time, the Jin land could not find anyone to lead everyone to rebel, so they could only let the two Kansai people show off their might.

As a result, the current situation in Jindi is that low-level officials do not have to worry, but there is a lack of bricks and tiles on high-rise buildings......

Looking at his wife's gritted teeth, Li Po was happy again, "Li Yuan's life may be much better than ours now, we are short of people available, but Xijing is dazzling with many talents, I don't know how to use it." ”

Li Bi also laughed when she heard it, it was still very happy, Li Yuan's employment was indeed flattering, otherwise Jin Di would not have been so simply lost.

Of course, the two smiling and rather cunning guys will not mention how much effort it took for Li Yuan to make those people in Chang'an City bow down to their orders, and what kind of arduous process it was, at this point, there may be no one in the world who can do it better than Li Yuan.

In fact, according to the original trajectory, last year was the year of Li Tang's rapid development, breaking Xue Ju in the west, destroying Liu Wuzhou in the east, and getting rid of two strong rivals Li Tang can be regarded as firmly established.

These were two crucial victories, both with some lucky elements, Xue Ju died of illness, and Liu Wuzhou's foothold was not stable, so they both became Li Tang's stepping stones.

But the current situation is that Xue Ju was defeated, but Jindi was lost, which undoubtedly slowed down Li Tang's expansion, and the impact was also all-round.

The invincible Qin king Li Shimin was dragged on the edge of the Yellow River, the war in Shuzhong has been deadlocked, and Li Jiancheng, who has a strong army in Tongguan, has also become inactive and cannot enter Henan to attack Wang Shichong.

Li Tang, who switched from offense to defense in all directions, immediately exposed many weaknesses.

One of the most important points is that the current situation has magnified Li Yuan's shortcomings in employing people, and the internal struggle has gradually intensified.

As a result, the side effects of Li Yuan's good political reputation also obviously began to plague Li Tang, just like the two couples in Jindi, they were very envious and jealous of Li Yuan's good name, and the other princes were actually the same.

So a strange state was formed, all the princes bordering Li Tang looked at Chang'an with red eyes, but they were safe with each other, this kind of vague tacit understanding was Li Tang's most terrible enemy.

Of course, the fact that the news was almost completely cut off due to the blocking of the road also protected the news of the internal turmoil in Kansai to the greatest extent.

If they could clearly know the turmoil in Chang'an, Li Po and Li Bi might be happier at this time.

In fact, Li Yuan's father and son, who are now anxious, have completely lost interest in the war.

Li Yuan was busy mending the holes, using all his ingenuity to quell the political turmoil caused by Dugu Huaien's death, and Li Shimin was not idle, in addition to tasting the bitter fruits of losing the First World War and completely losing the opportunity to cross the river on the Yellow River, he also had to constantly deal with a series of bad news from Chang'an.

The most terrible thing is that there was chaos in Guanzhong again, Sun Lang, a martial artist from Jingzhao, gathered his fellow villagers to attack the county seat, killed Xie Wenxing and others, opened a warehouse and released grain, and tens of thousands of people gathered in a short time.

The chaos was quickly put to rest.

Then Huayin's bangs reversed, he failed faster, and he didn't even enter the county seat, but was broken by the Tongguan defenders who were close at hand.

This is a typical peasant uprising, taking risks for the sake of stuttering, without any political demands or goals.

The two counties of Wugong and Huayin, one east and one west, are on the edge of Jingzhao, and there are almost no connections in two places, but there are people who have made trouble.

This is undoubtedly a creepy thing, because Jingzhao is nothing else, it is the center of the hinterland of Kansai, a stone's throw away from Chang'an City.

Since Li Xiuning, Li Shentong and others gathered tens of thousands of troops to attack Chang'an a few years ago, Jingzhao has no banditry, but now the chaos has returned......

Li Shimin knows too well what this means, there have been too many wars in the past few years, and the soldiers and people of the Guanxi Prefecture have been conscripted one after another, and the price of grain has remained high, even if the taxes are much younger than at the end of the great cause, they still overwhelm the people, and they want to rise up and make a living.

The chaos subsided quickly, and some generals were still proudly reporting their military exploits, so who were the people killed? There are many old and weak women and children, and there are few men in the prime of life, Li Shimin only imagined it, and he shuddered.
