Zhao Zhen heard that Kou Ji couldn't learn the art of war, his face was slightly stunned, and then he smiled, "Fourth brother can't learn it...... I thought that the fourth brother could learn anything. ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "I can't learn it, and you can't learn it either." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "What are you doing with me?" If someone else learns, I use him. If I don't use him, he will learn it in vain. ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes again, he felt that Zhao Zhen's words were a bit arrogant and unreasonable, but he couldn't refute it.

How did those people who didn't meet appear because the superior didn't use him.

Therefore, it is one thing for people to have talents, and it is another thing whether they will be reused.

For example, Li Weixian, the son of Li Zhaoliang, is only eight buckets tall and rich in five cars, and when he studied with Kou Ji and others, he showed extraordinary, and as he grew older, his knowledge became more and more profound.

Kou Zhun and others once mentioned other things in private, and they also said it.

If he hadn't been born in a martial arts family, he would inevitably have become a generation of Confucianism.

Li Weixian is so talented, there is no way to enter the official through the imperial examination, let alone be reused.

Is it because the superior can't see Li Weixian's talent?

No.

It's the superior who doesn't need him.

His background determined that he was among the ministers, and there was no seat for him.

"Since you can't use it? So who else can use it? ”

Kou Ji was reluctant to continue to discuss the way of employing people with Zhao Zhen, so he went straight to the point of asking.

Zhao Zhen frowned and fell into deep thought.

In the past, he always felt that the court was full of talents, but now when it was time to use it, he found that there was no one available.

There is no shortage of scholars, the ministers are like leeks, cutting a stubble, growing a stubble, as long as the imperial examination has been implemented, the ministers in his hands will not be used up.

But the generals, it seems that there are few of them, a little pitiful.

Up and down the government and the opposition, there are countless generals who eat and wait for death.

There are only a handful of possible uses.

"Is it wrong for Taizu and my imperial grandfather to set a strategy of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts?"

For the first time, Zhao Zhen had doubts about the important ancestral system set by Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi.

Heavy literature and military suppression.

To the point where no one is available, then what?

If it is suppressed, after the few remaining people in the Great Song Dynasty can fight to death, what will the Great Song Dynasty use to defend against foreign enemies?

It is true that the warriors will cause chaos, but the warriors can also protect the country.

If no one can fight the Great Song Dynasty, and no one dares to fight, then when the enemy's iron hooves step in, can the Great Song still exist?

The ancestral system set by Taizu and Taizong is to let the Zhao family pass it on from generation to generation, and it is best to pass it on for 10,000 years.

But now, in less than a few decades, it has reached the point where there are no warriors available.

If the ancestral system of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force is continued, how many generations can the Great Song Dynasty inherit?

Zhao Zhen was silent for a long time, and looked sideways at Kou Ji, "Fourth brother, you can tell me, is it right to emphasize literature and suppress martial arts?" ”

When he was indecisive and had doubts, he asked Kou Ji, which was Zhao Zhen's subconscious thoughts.

Zhao Zhen felt that no matter what kind of doubts he had, Kou Ji could help him answer them.

Kou Ji was slightly stunned when he heard Zhao Zhen's words.

Kou Ji didn't rush to answer Zhao Zhen's question, but muttered, "Why did the official family mention this matter? ”

Zhao Zhen said frankly: "Now the military ministers that can be used by the imperial court, with a little use, they are already stretched. I am afraid that if we continue to implement the strategy of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force, there will be a situation where no one is available. ”

Kou Ji sighed and said, "Taizu and Taizong, such an ancestral system was set to prevent the martial arts from making trouble. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "I know...... But Taizu and Taizong set such an ancestral system in order to let my Great Song Dynasty pass on smoothly. But if the ancestral system affects the inheritance of my Great Song Dynasty, and may even become the basis for the destruction of my Great Song Dynasty, do you think there is still a need to keep it? ”

Only Zhao Zhen dared to say this.

If anyone else says this, and someone hears it, they will be pulled out and slashed to death.

Since Zhao Zhen broke the words, Kou Ji didn't hide it.

Kou Ji said frankly: "Taizu and Taizong have both experienced the period of the Ten Kingdoms, and the warriors were in rebellion. Even how harmful is it for the warriors to rebel. Therefore, it is understandable to set such an ancestral system.

But Taizu and Taizong only thought about guarding against martial artists, but they didn't think about whether the Great Song Dynasty could survive if there were no martial artists in the imperial court.

They also did not think that in terms of intrigue, power struggle, martial artists were not the opponents of literati at all.

The decree of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force was implemented to the end, and the result was that the martial arts did not come out, and the imperial court was reduced to a hall of literati.

But is it really a good thing that the imperial court has been reduced to a hall of literati? ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head decisively.

From his accession to the throne to the present, most of the troubles encountered have come from the literati.

The warriors were in danger of disrupting the society, and the literati would stumble on the rise of the Great Song Dynasty.

Whether it is a warrior or a literati, there will be drawbacks and big drawbacks when they control the court.

Therefore, above the court, there are civil ministers and military ministers.

Zhao Zhen sighed, "Is there a solution to the best of both worlds?" ”

Kou Ji thought about it for a moment and gave a quick solution to the problem, "The imperial court should pay attention to martial arts." At the same time, the decree that the military will not move should also be changed. ”

Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji, waiting for Kou Ji's explanation.

Kou Ji continued: "Attaching importance to martial arts is to add new blood to the martial arts. Only when new military ministers continue to join, can the right to speak in military affairs in the court not be controlled by the martial artists.

There are great drawbacks in the imperial court's decree on the dispatch of troops.

At the end of each term, the generals who led the troops did not move, but the soldiers and horses under their command changed frequently, which was a burden and a disaster for the imperial court.

Not only will it not play the role of guarding against military ministers, but it will also weaken the combat effectiveness of soldiers and horses because of the lack of adaptation to water and soil, and the fatigue of boats and vehicles. ”

Zhao Zhen frowned and said: "Attaching importance to martial arts will only cheapen those martial arts." Most of the martial arts previously implemented by the imperial court allowed the people under Wuxun to occupy the quota of Wujinshi.

In terms of martial arts and the art of war, few people can stand out under the control of martial artists.

There are drawbacks in the imperial court's decree to dispatch troops, but there is no way to do it.

Once the soldiers and horses of the imperial court stay in one place, it is easy to be filled with the whole camp by the soldiers of one place.

Once the local heroes are strong, or the local prestige people, they can easily get into trouble. ”

Kou Ji smiled: "There is no need to worry about these two points. As long as the generals we have cultivated come out, the problems that the officials are worried about can be easily solved. ”

Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned for a moment, and muttered: "I am cultivating people to fight with the martial artists? ”

Kou Ji smiled and nodded.

Zhao Zhen hesitated: "Then how to prevent the local military camp from being full of soldiers?" ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "Military discipline constraints, from the moment you enter the camp, you will disrupt the distribution. In addition, all the barracks were relocated to the barren mountains and mountains. ”

Zhao Zhen frowned, still puzzled.

Kou Ji said with a smile: "When the soldiers and horses are familiar with fighting with muskets and artillery, without muskets and artillery, they are toothless tigers, and they can't mess up if they want to." ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It's still the fourth brother who thinks thoughtfully." ”

After a pause, Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "In this way, the talents we cultivate are the key. ”

Kou Ji smiled and nodded.

Zhao Zhen said solemnly: "Then you can't let Wuxun interfere." ”

Kou Ji hesitated again and again, sighed and said, "Most of the generals of the Great Song Dynasty now are from Wuxun's sect. If we want to make a change, we still have to use the power of Wu Xun.

Before the power in our hands has not risen, the martial artists have the greatest power.

It is not beneficial for us to have a conflict with the martial artists, nor is it beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "Isn't the fourth brother the same as me, and hates the martial artists for meddling in our affairs?" Why do you want Wuxun to interfere again? ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Because I just found out that without Wuxun, we have no one to use." There is no way to use our people in a short period of time to support the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Seeking ...... with the Tiger"

Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and wanted to say something dejected.

Kou Ji laughed in a low voice: "We are the tiger ......"

Zhao Zhen was stunned and smiled, "That's right, we are the tigers." What the martial artists can control, we can control; What the martial artists can't control, we can also control. ”

Kou Ji smiled at Zhao Zhen and said, "Then please ask the official family to give me a will." ”

Zhao Zhen asked, "What will?" ”

Kou Ji smiled faintly and said: "Use the high place to die in exchange for the safety of the three generations of the Gao family." ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it: "You want to use high place Gong, can high place Gong agree?" ”

Kou Ji smiled: "If a person drinks water, he knows his own warmth and coldness." The Gao family fell from the highest place to the trough. From being sought after by tens of thousands of people, it is now avoided now. The cold of the world and the coldness I feel are far deeper than you and me.

The Gao family has become what it is today, all because of the greed of Gao Gong.

Gao Chu Gong can be said to be the sinner of the Gao family.

Now that there is an opportunity for atonement before him, I don't believe he will not cherish it. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded slowly and hesitated: "I'm afraid of being in a high place." ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "So when the official family picks people, they must be cautious. Be sure to pick those who are loyal to the official family. The official family also had to give up a master of equipment supervision and let him follow Gao Zhigong for the rest of his life. ”

Zhao Zhen let out a sigh, "I understand. ”

Zhao Zhen turned around, picked up a pen and wrote down a handwritten message, stamped it with a private seal, and handed it to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji couldn't get on the table when he was looking for a high place, so he couldn't use the holy decree.

Kou Ji took the oracle and prepared to leave the palace.

Zhao Zhen suddenly said something, startling Kou Ji.

"My Great Song Dynasty is about to start a war with the Liao State, I want to drive the imperial expedition in person, the humiliation suffered by Emperor Yixue's grandfather back then, what does the fourth brother think?"

Kou Ji pondered for a long time and whispered.

"That'...... Official, you have to prepare a carriage that can run fast......"

Dropping this sentence, without waiting for Zhao Zhen to react, Kou Ji decisively left the hall.

After Kou Ji left, Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows suspiciously, "I am going to drive the expedition in person, what are you going to do with the fast carriage?" ”

Zhao Zhen muttered a few times, and suddenly thought of something, and his face became very exciting in an instant.

"Koji, you deserve to be beaten!"

“……”

The reason why Zhao Zhen shouted that he wanted to beat Kou Ji's board was because Kou Ji's words involved a secret.

A secret that is known to the whole country, but no one dares to say.

A royal scandal.

In the past.

Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi, who conquered Liao in the north, suffered a crushing defeat at the Gaoliang River.

Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi was in danger and was forced to flee with a donkey cart and was hit with an arrow in his butt.

This matter is not only a shame for the royal family, but also a shame for the entire Great Song Dynasty, so no one dares to mention it.

Kou Ji brought up this matter vaguely, and Zhao Zhen was naturally unhappy.

After all, the protagonist is his grandfather.

Kou Ji ran out of the palace, glanced back at Bianjing City, and muttered, "The God of the Sorghum River, not everyone can be the god, it's better for you to sit obediently in Bianjing City." ”

Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi was defeated in the Gaoliang River, but it was recorded in the history books, and people who like to read history books after a thousand years know it.

Some good deeds also like to call Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi the god of sorghum river cars.

After all, it is not good to be able to escape from the pursuit of thousands of troops and horses with a donkey cart without extraordinary driving skills.

The reason why Kou Ji brought up this matter vaguely was to take revenge on Zhao Zhen.

Revenge Zhao Zhen for leaving him alone on the cold bench in the mansion at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet.

He is a lonely ghost, and after being isolated, no one can understand the sadness and sadness he feels.

As for whether Zhao Zhen would be angry with him because of this, he was not worried at all.

If Zhao Zhen is angry with him because of this, then it is not Zhao Zhen.

China has been up and down for 5,000 years, hundreds of emperors, and in terms of benevolence, few can compare to this one.

Although Zhao Zhen has changed a lot now, the kindness in his temperament is still indelible.

If he really became extremely ruthless, the heads of the Mu, Qian, Meng, Gao, and Wei Wangfu would have been hung on the flagpole and dried.

Zhao Zhen killed them all in one go, who could do anything to him?

Kou Ji tidied up his clothes and paced to the Fan Tower not far from Donghua Gate.

Without the Wei Wangfu charter, there are often empty seats in Fan Tower.

The last time Kou Ji couldn't enter Fan Lou, the owner of Fan Lou personally went to Kou Mansion and gave Kou Mansion something similar to a free membership card for the whole year.

When the people of Kou Mansion arrived at Fan Lou, they could enter by brushing their faces, and they did not charge money for eating, drinking, and having fun.

Although Kou Fu is not bad for money, but Kou Ji can't refuse people's wishes.

The one who came to the door to make amends gave a heavy gift, and if you accept it, then all things will be safe.

If you don't take it, it means you have to fight.

Kou Ji didn't have the leisure to fight with Fan Lou, and everyone had no conflict of interest.

And the original fault was not Fan Lou's fault.

Kou Ji entered the Fan Building, and the shopkeeper of the Fan Building led Kou Ji to the private room and sat down.

Kou Ji instructed the shopkeeper of Fan Lou to ask Gao Di Gong to come over for a while, but the shopkeeper of Fan Lou didn't say anything, let alone ask more, nodded in agreement, and withdrew from the private room.

Without Kou Ji's deliberate instructions, the shopkeeper of Fan Lou sent someone to deliver Fan Lou's most well-known signature dishes and treasured wines.

According to the reception practice of guests in the private room of Fan Lou, when the high place arrives, Fan Lou will send a table of new dishes and wine.

It is not unreasonable that Fan Lou can occupy the reputation of the first floor of Bianjing City and stand for decades.

Thank you for the 100 book coins reward for 'pressing a thumbs, Tibetan wind in the world, No. 7 Park, and the street lamp'!
