Whether Li Longji listened to it or not, Pei Min really didn't know, but the situation of the Tang Dynasty now was thousands of times better than in history.

The only drawbacks are Wang Ji and Yang Jieyu.

Although the threat of these two people is not as good as Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, they cannot be allowed to act arbitrarily and bury the great mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty.

The celebration banquet was held in the calyx Xianghui Building of Xingqing Palace.

Calyx Xianghui Building is a special building in Xingqing Palace, because Li Longji's status is obtained by the resignation of the eldest brother Ning Wang Li Xian and the second brother Li Lian.

In order to thank his brother for his virtue and righteous deeds, after succeeding to the throne, Li Longji built a calyx Xianghui Building for their brothers in Xingqing Palace.

In this calyx building, there is also a huge bed, an extra-long pillow and a wide quilt, which is for the five brothers to sleep together and sleep on the same pillow.

However, with the early death of the second Li Lian and the death of the fourth Li Longfan, the Calyx Xianghui Building gradually lost its former liveliness and became a banquet and entertainment venue in Xingqing Palace.

The Calyx Xianghui Building is surrounded by double-storey corridors, with novel and lively space ideas and magnificent architecture.

Pei Min came here many times in his early years, so he didn't feel novel.

Li Siye, Zhehuchen, Gao Xianzhi, Li Yide and others were dazzled like hillbillies entering the city, and they were amazed all the way to the main hall.

The banquet was naturally dominated by the heroes led by Pei Min and his party.

And everyone is accompanied by officials.

Pei Min, the king with a different surname, was naturally in the chief, and to his surprise, the current prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanhong, who accompanied him to drink.

Pei Min smiled politely and did superficial work.

No matter what, even if Pei Min doesn't like Li Yuanhong's repeated targeting, he is unwilling to make a discordant matter.

Unexpectedly, the expression on Li Yuanhong's face was a little embarrassed, and then he smiled calmly.

The smile was a little intimate, and Pei Min was a little inexplicable when he smiled.

As the banquet begins, the singers and dancers of the pear orchard come in.

They have long been experienced in a hundred battles, and their experienced and familiar blowing, playing and singing have led to the atmosphere of the banquet.

"King Wuwei County!"

Pei Min was not used to such a title for a while, and after a pause, he realized that he was calling himself, and hurriedly raised his wine glass and said, "Li Xiang!" ”

Li Yuanhong said: "At this age, the more you live, the more you go back. Compared with the benevolence and righteousness of the county king, the old decay can be described as pedantic, and what he does is ashamed of the world. Today, at this celebration banquet, the old man punished himself with three cups and made amends to the king of the county. ”

Li Yuanhong's sudden change caught Pei Min off guard, and he quickly came to his senses and said: "Li Xiang is polite, you ask for the people's life, and everyone knows about the accident that would rather move Nanshan than change the sentence." Min, the juniors of the last school, how dare they accept these three cups. Drink with Lee Xiang below. ”

Pei Min is talking about the most famous case of Li Yuanhong in his early years.

It was still the period of Wu Zetian, the year of Shenlong, Li Yuanhong moved to Yongzhou Sihu, and he has always done his best, is fair and impartial, and has won the trust of the local people.

At that time, Princess Taiping connived at the house slaves to forcibly occupy a stone mill in a certain temple, and the monks refused to accept the lawsuit. Li Yuanhong accepted the case, enforced the law impartially, and was not afraid of the power of Princess Taiping, and immediately returned the monk's monastery.

Yongzhou Governor Shi Dou Huaizhen was afraid of Princess Taiping, and hurriedly went to Li Yuanhong and asked him to change the sentence.

Li Yuanhong was persistent, and directly wrote in the verdict: "Nanshan may be moved, and this verdict will not be shaken." ”

For this example, later generations also derived an idiom called the Nanshan Iron Case to describe the judgment and irrevocable case.

Pei Min and Li Yuanhong exchanged three glasses.

Li Yuanhong sighed: "I finally understood that for the sake of Yao Xiang in the past, Song was full of praise for Pei Guogong. Compared with the national government, these seemingly actions for the country and the people are actually villains in vain. If it weren't for His Majesty's order today, the old man would probably become a sinner in my court. ”

It turned out that Li Longji also saw Li Yuanhong's intention to weaken the border generals, and he was now striving to stabilize the situation in the court, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he specially forwarded Pei Min's words today to Li Yuanhong word by word.

Li Yuanhong knew that Pei Min's intentions were better than theirs.

In terms of open-mindedness, he left them far behind.

Pei Min insisted on his own opinions, but he was able to understand the people-oriented administrative philosophy of the main peace faction.

And they can't do this, not only can't do it, but they have always intended to force the wingers to agree with their purpose in an oppressive way.

The difference between the two cannot be calculated reasonably.

Pei Min also understood the reason, glanced at Li Longji, who was at the top seat and was watching the singing and dancing seriously, and said: "Li Xiang is polite, the path of civil and military affairs is inevitable." It's best to be able to find a balance, and even if you can't find it, there's no need to pinpoint the wheat. After all, no matter who wins or loses in the battle, it is the backbone of the imperial court that is lost. A certain does not want to see Li Xiang change his original intention, but privately for healthy competition, which is conducive to the development of the family and country, mutual supervision, and the stability of the world. Combining both civil and military forces is the real way to strengthen the country. ”

Li Yuanhong bowed his head and said: "What the county king said is reasonable, and he is indeed biased in the front. It's just that I hope that the king of the county can understand the difficulties below, although the soldiers of the Nanya are not under the control of the prime minister, but the prime minister has the power to mobilize the forbidden army of the Nanya. I have seen the situation of the Nanya Forbidden Army, and many times, the so-called forbidden army is better than the ruffians and hooligans. Not to mention that the combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the border army, even ordinary soldiers cannot compare. ”

He said worriedly.

When Pei Min heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, and another curse was in his mouth, but he didn't reveal it.

It's not a matter of a year or two that the forbidden army has a problem, the forbidden army is incompetent, so it is necessary to weaken the border army? The forbidden army has no combat effectiveness, and it is necessary to make the border army ineffective.

In this way, it will not cause a situation where the outside is strong and the inside is weak!

Theoretically, this logic works.

But I didn't think that the border army collapsed like the central army, and who would resist the fierce foreigners? Will they just as much weaken their own fighting power and maintain peace in the world?

Pei Min said: "The forbidden army is weak, and the best plan is to restructure. Enhance the combat power of the forbidden army, instead of tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall, Jingshi is a place where the world's heroes gather, it is impossible to have no talents to govern the army, as long as you are willing to make up your mind, why worry that the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army cannot be improved? It's really not good, I can also choose a few people from the army to support Li Xiang, as long as the forbidden army is strong, the world will be safe. ”

Li Yuanhong was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Rong Mou pondered this matter. ”

Pei Min didn't speak, but sighed secretly in his heart.

This kind of military reform requires great courage.
