The spring breeze is proud.

After being sealed as the Marquis of the Imperial Palace, Li Su felt that the speed of his return journey had soared, but in six or seven days, he rushed back to Jixian County from Luoyang to resume his life.

Along the way, Li Su hurried every day without incident, and he was also vigilant and reflective: in order to make meritorious contributions, he became a leader among the scholars who "knew the destiny of heaven" in the world, and pushed the influence of the temple prosperity theory to the extreme. Will such an approach have any adverse impact on history?

However, after pondering it in the past few days, he found that he was also too worried.

The theory of the blessing of the palace was not invented by him, the Ming Dynasty used it in later generations, and in the end, the feudal system did not perish in the same way? Therefore, whether the palace is blessed or not will not affect the final end of the feudal system at all.

It will not affect the prosperity and strength, democracy and civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice and the rule of law.

Because true people with lofty ideals will not be frightened by the concern of "whether I myself will die, whether I can see the day when the great cause will succeed", they are warriors who have faith and succession.

People who want to live to see victory are not strong-willed and look ahead, they are called speculators!

History has proven time and again that speculators do not deserve a good end.

Therefore, the prosperity of the palace is nothing more than slowing down the frequency of dynastic changes during the existence of the feudal system, and scaring those who take risks and speculate for the sake of a surname of glory and wealth.

It also reduces the "trial and error" of arrogant careerists who are unable to change the dynasty, and reduces the total amount of war - 90% of the speculative thieves in the world end in failure, but as long as they are moved and ready to start a war, hundreds of people will be killed and injured. These people themselves died in vain, dragging so many innocent backs.

Li Su asked China to have fewer wars in the feudal era since then, and everyone should think more before starting a war, what's wrong with this?

As for the evolution of the political system, Li Su felt that in his life, at most, from the Han Gan to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, that is, the limit-it would be a great merit to be able to bypass the crooked path of the Jiupin Zhongzheng System for hundreds of years of great division and no faith.

As for the imperial examination, it is certainly impossible to build and perfect it in Li Su's lifetime, and the counterattack of the family is too great, at best, under the guise of "improving the probation system", a little bit of sand is mixed with it, on the one hand, adjusting the subjects of probation, and on the other hand, adjusting the monitoring means of probation, that is the limit.

At the same time, Li Su did not blindly believe that "the late one is progressive", he felt that the examination system also had certain advantages compared with the imperial examination system, and the advantages should be retained - the later imperial examinations paid too much attention to fairness, and sacrificed the efficiency of talent selection, and the subject setting was too unreasonable. As long as the probation system does not promote filial piety and honesty, other subjects are still relatively scientific.

Let's take one step at a time, it's good to be able to do it to the Tang Dynasty in this life, and leave it to the descendants of this dynasty to slowly work until the Song and Ming dynasties.

And it has to be a "martial Song Ming" - the reason why Song Ming couldn't be martial is that in the final analysis, the five dynasties and ten kingdoms have collapsed the authority of the Mandate of Heaven. There is no way, the emperor still has to have it, and everyone knows that "the emperor is strong and strong", so he can only worship literature and suppress martial arts. If there is still the stability of the mandate of heaven of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, can he be guilty of advocating literature and suppressing martial arts?

Anyway, Li Su will not cause any resistance to prosperity, democracy, harmony, freedom, fairness, and the rule of law.

……

On the twenty-third day of the first month, before Li Su returned to Jixian County, he was personally greeted by Liu Yu who went out of the city for ten miles.

Liu Yu also brought most of the henchmen of Youzhou officialdom, and even Gongsun Zhan, who had a not very harmonious relationship with Liu Yu, came, and it was even more impossible for the generals of Liu Bei's camp to be absent.

Li Su saw it from afar, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted with Zhao Yun in advance, and bowed his hand: "I am courteous to the envoy, and I am fortunate not to be dishonored." ”

Then there was a bit of red tape, everyone knew about their respective rewards, and it was a polite exchange of congratulations to each other.

"Congratulations to the envoy for being named the Marquis of Ji, the Marquis of 5,000 households, which is rare in recent years. The work of making the king, the sky and the earth, are really the pillars of the Han Dynasty and the giants of the sunny sky. ”

A group of civil officials first spoke of Liu Yu like a flood.

"Okay, okay, Xuande is not in his thirties, and Boya will not be crowned until next year, which is the terrible life of the future." Liu Yu was a little tired of being photographed, so he casually praised his subordinates and diverted everyone's attention.

Others inevitably complimented Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei, and Li Su again.

Liu Yu waited for everyone to finish tossing, and then changed to a serious expression: "Even since the appointment of the imperial court has arrived, you must not slack off." Tomorrow, I will go to Youbeiping and Liaodong to take office.

Bogui, when you arrive in Youbeiping, you can guard against Xianbei Kebineng, Xuande has to take on the task of attacking Zhang Chun's remnants, and you have to bear all the pressure of the Xianbei people in the north, and you can't make the Xianbei remnants collude with Zhang Chun. ”

"Yes, the last general will give the order, I will take the initiative to attack Xianbei, mobilize all Xianbei troops to come to the rescue, and divide pure arms to help, as long as you don't restrict me from robbing and killing Xianbei people." Gongsun Zhan replied with neither humility nor arrogance, not only agreeing to Liu Yu and taking care of his brotherly relationship with Liu Bei, but also expressing his dissatisfaction with Liu Yu's weakness.

Of course, Liu Yu knew what Gongsun Chan really meant, but now that the enemy was present, he had no choice but to compromise one or two:

"Alas, it's a matter of urgency, I'll give you an order, Xianbei, if you have the ability to kill, kill it, the Wuhuan people have been sinicized, you can't provoke contradictions. Especially Qiu Liju beheaded Su Li and made Wuhuan completely break with Xianbei, I will never allow you to provoke more opponents before Xianbei is destroyed. ”

The two sides ended the negotiations not so happily.

After Li Su returned to the city, he went straight to Cai Yong and Cai Yan's place, anyway, he and Cai Yan had already agreed to marry through a verbal gentleman's agreement, and it was also appropriate to move around more.

Cai Yong has not yet recovered his official body, so it was difficult to go out of the city to greet him just now, and his seniority is not suitable.

When Cai Yan saw Li Su coming back, he immediately jumped over and took his hand and circled: "Senior brother! Your Majesty didn't seal you as a Beijing official, right? ”

Li Su smiled and touched Cai Yan's melon seed face: "Your Majesty wants to make me a doctor in Taizhong, and in the court, I said, 'Zhang Chun is not destroyed, good beginnings and good ends', and I came back with a long history of Liaodong." ”

Cai Yan's face flushed, very happy, but then a trace of worry flashed: "What if Zhang Chun settles down?" ”

Li Su thought about it and attached it to Cai Yan's ear: "I have my own way, but it's a bit of a big rebellion to say it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and you will know it later." ”

Cai Yan was blown to the root of his ears, and his body was a little soft, so he didn't ask again.

Li Su also appropriately tilted the building to divert the topic: "Don't talk about this, I'm a marquis now, don't you celebrate?" ”

Cai Yan's eyes widened instantly, and the whole person was energetic: "Sealed the marquis?" Is it the same as Daddy? After all, you wrote "The Blessing of the Palace" together, and you should have sealed the Hou of Guan Nei a long time ago. ”

Li Su smiled proudly and hugged his junior sister to reassure: "Since you think that you should seal the Neihou, then of course it is more than that-otherwise Zhang Ju didn't kill in vain?" I'm a liehou, a marquis of Duting. ”

"Du Tinghou? If you don't have a weak crown, you are a liege? That should really be a poem to celebrate its grand occasion. Cai Yan was even more excited than Li Su, holding Li Su's arms trembling slightly.

She is not greedy for glory and wealth, she is purely happy for Li Su, and has a sense of heroism that has participated in and witnessed history.

Cai Yan stood up from the cushion, wandered left and right, and was engrossed in thinking about the words, but he couldn't figure it out, and returned to Li Su and sat down:

"Senior brother, it's no wonder that I can't think of the kind of pomp and circumstance of sneaking into the enemy camp to lobby, this Ban Ding is far from entering the tiger's den, and the scene must be different, right? Tell me more, what was the situation when you entered the Wuhuan camp at night, I will write a poem for you. ”

Li Su boasted lightly: "What is there to say about that? I had to sneak all the way, and I had to avoid the eyes and ears that Zhang Ju had planted beside Qiu Liju, so I killed Qiu Liju's scout team, disguised myself as a scout and returned to the camp, and unknowingly mixed into Qiu Liju's middle army. ”

Cai Yan had never heard of these details, and couldn't help but be fascinated, and the palms holding Li Su's arms were sweating: "Was it dark at that time?" Is it snowing? Isn't it easy? ”

Li Su: "Of course it's not easy, it's not easy, and the snow turns over the camp overnight, and the divine flag freezes and the horse is silent, that's roughly it." When he heard that Chief Hu was filming the case, he knew that the puppet emperor had been punished. ”

Cai Yan: "......"

Li Su: "What's wrong?" Isn't that clear enough? ”

Cai Yan: "I asked you to describe it, and you did it yourself!" Say, haven't you thought about it these days? is proud of his life, no wonder he talks about it every day, and it turns out that he has done it secretly by himself a long time ago. ”

Li Su: "I'm just going to describe the scene in passing, you can do it again." ”

Cai Yan bit his lip and thought for a while: "Forget it, I'm not as good as you." How can you do anything, I've been with you for so long, and there are always surprises. I've copied this poem, and maybe I'll have a chance to show it to people in the future. ”

……

After a night's rest, early the next morning, Li Su followed Liu Bei and others to take office.

Most of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were still stationed in Liaoxi, and they only came back to Jixian County to report on their work and accept the imperial court's reward by the way. Therefore, it is also quick to go back, and a few people can quickly whip up the horses, and they can return to the front line in three days.

Liu Bei rode on horseback, and did not forget to ridicule and praise: "Brother Xian, I heard that you did a good job of poetry last night, and even Cai Gong praised it, saying that you were able to create the first seven-word rhyme, and I don't know how many literary strategies you have." ”

Li Su: "It's spread all over so quickly? ”

Liu Bei: "This is a good thing, what are you afraid of?" When he said goodbye to Cai Gong, he told me that I was waiting, which was really the right time. I want to do it, but I can't do it, so I'm still happy to kill the enemy and serve the country. ”

Liu Bei is not bad, but the most obsessed brother along the way is Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei actually likes vassal elegance very much, but except for the relatively correct handwriting, he has no creative talent. After hearing about Li Su's poem, he copied it several times, leaving a picture that he thought was the most upright and domineering to watch.

Li Su was slightly embarrassed in his heart: I would have thought about it again if I knew it, and I couldn't take it back now.

Li Su hurriedly crooked the building: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about front-line military affairs, I went to Luoyang, and I don't know what the bureau is in Liaoxi and Liaodong." Where is Zhang Chun's troops now? ”

Liu Bei: "Zhang Chun defended Xiangping in Liaodong County, and sent the king of Wuhuan to guard Changli and Tuhe along the large and small Yushui rivers. The rest of the places should not be very important, and there are not many troops. However, Changli chokes the throat gateway of eastern and western Liaoning, and our army goes out of Linyu to Tuhe, and there is no river to transport grain for more than 400 miles by land.

Last year, Liaoxi and Liaodong were all hungry, and we also used the strategy of desperation to force Qiu Liju, and now Zhang Chun came to the strong wall to clear the wilderness, our army's military grain almost began to be transported from the end, the waterway traveled 400 miles, and the land route was 400 miles, I am afraid that it will be difficult to besiege Changli for a long time, and we must have a quick battle and a quick solution. ”

Li Su is now quite familiar with the local place names, and converted Liu Bei's words in his heart. Roughly speaking, from the Qinhuangdao-Shanhaiguan area in later generations, it was necessary to transport grain by land to the northeast to Changli-Tuhe, which was Jinzhou in later generations.

Jinzhou has always been the throat of the western Liaoning corridor, go a little farther inland is Yanshan, do not want to turn over Yanshan old can only go Changli (Jinzhou).

The Lulong ancient road route of Xuetian Chou to cut Wuhuan is circuitous?

This is Li Su's first reaction, after all, it is a battle example written in history books and romances, and he must have thought of this first.

But Li Su immediately found out that it was wrong, because in history, Cao Cao was defeated, and Bandun, as a nomad, was north of Yanshan, mainly defending Liucheng. Therefore, I had to go from Lulong and Feiru to the upper reaches of Yushui (Xiaoling River), and detour back to Baiwolf and Liucheng along the Daling River.

Now Liu Bei doesn't need to deal with Liucheng, where the Wuhuan royal court is located, even if he goes down the Yushui River from Liucheng to Changli, but there is no need.

Li Su thought about it for a while and decided to jump out of his dependence on history: "We have the support of Mi Zhu, and the caravan ships of the Mi family are now coming and going to Youzhou endlessly, why don't you let Mi Zhu use sea ships to transport grain for the army?" ”
