Chapter 136: Please let the prince plant some fields

After waiting for five days, someone finally came to take over the affairs of Jingzhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The military affairs of Jingzhou belonged to the Guannei Dao, so when he returned to Chang'an, the chief officer of the Guannei Dao had already sent the soldiers who were handed over, and after the handover matters were handled, the men and horses of the brigade returned to Chang'an.

After returning to Chang'an, Luo Yan continued to work as his carefree writer and assistant teacher at Hongwenguan, to put it bluntly, he continued to work as a nanny. However, on the first day of returning to Hongwen Pavilion, Luo Yan encountered something that he couldn't laugh at. This time, not only Cheng Chubi hugged his thighs, but even Wei Chi Baolin and Changsun Chong surrounded him, insisting on asking him to tell this military story.

Helpless, Luo Yan had no choice but to agree to the reception banquet that these people held for him.

said that it was a reception banquet, but it was just to take Luo Yan into the natural residence, and then with Luo Yan's face, he went up to the second floor to enjoy it. The seat is so crowded, basically the children and grandchildren of the old ministry of King Qin, the civil ministers and military generals are here.

Their fathers followed Li Shimin to fight in the south and the north, so these people were particularly curious about what was going on in this war. How dare you let your elders tell stories on weekdays, that is, when you meet such an amiable teacher as Luo Yan, you have the opportunity to satisfy your curiosity.

After he was full of wine and food, Luo Yan told the story of Fenzhou at the request of everyone, saying that he and the others actually took Fenzhou down without much effort, Qu Tuquan said: "I thought it was so tense and exciting, but I didn't expect to be beaten down by you like this. Not wonderful at all. ”

Qu Tuquan's words represented the voices of basically everyone present, so he had already spoken, and many bear children nodded along with him, and even Yu Chi Baolin followed and said, "Grandpa also said that this battle was the most beautiful one he fought, and it turned out that he just caught Luo Yi." I still believe it. After Li Yi was escorted into Chang'an, Li Shimin deprived him of his title, and at the same time deprived him of the surname given to him, and then everyone began to call back his original name again.

Luo Yan looked at these students with a smile and asked Wei Chi Baolin, "You have been practicing martial arts since you were a child, have you ever read "The Art of War"? ”

Yu Chi Baolin touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Grandpa asked me to read it, but I couldn't read it, because Grandpa had beaten me many times." Grandpa was really out of line, so he let me go. ”

Yu Chi Baolin's words made many people present despise for a while, this is a typical example of not reading even if you are killed.

In a burst of laughter, Luo Yan said: "Sun Tzu's Art of War says: Sun Tzu said: The law of war is the first of the whole country, and the second is to break the country; The whole army is the first, and the broken army is second; The whole brigade is the first, and the broken brigade is second; The whole pawn is the first, and the broken pawn is second; The whole army is the first, and the army is second. Therefore, a hundred battles are won, and the good of the bad is also good; The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good. Although we did not surrender without a fight, the casualties were very small, and it was already a rare victory. ”

Seeing that many children in the audience and several people who didn't work hard to study were scratching their brains at this time, Luo Yan had to continue to explain: "Fighting a war is a matter that costs money, food, and human lives, if you can use the method of not fighting a war to achieve your goal, then it is best not to go to war." Like Li Yi's rebellion this time, if we could persuade Li Yi to surrender at that time, then our goal would have been nearly achieved, and there would be no need to use swords at all. But since persuasion is useless, then it is a strategy for us to cooperate with Yang Qili and outside, Zi Ah minimizes the casualties of our side and Li Yi's subordinates, and also achieves the goal of capturing Li Yi alive. And as you said, after a few months of real swords and real guns, I don't know how many people died, and in the end, we also won Li Yi, but our side also suffered heavy losses, so it was not cost-effective. This is the so-called upper army to attack the plan, the second to attack the enemy, the second to attack the army, and the next to attack the city. ”

Seeing that some of the people present were still a little confused, Luo Yan said again: "Whenever a war is fought, it is necessary to use force to achieve political goals. For example, the Turks, there have been fights and peaces over the years, why? If he does not invade the land, and our side has constant internal and external troubles, it will naturally prevail with peace negotiations. But if our side frees up his hand and he wants to provoke, then he will naturally fight back. Hearing this, it was the most sluggish Wei Chi Baolin who reacted the fastest: "Teaching assistant, what do you mean is that when you deal with the Turks, you can talk about peace, and if you can't talk, you will fight, isn't this the truth?" ”

Hearing Yu Chi Baolin's question, everyone laughed, and Luo Yan couldn't help laughing, and said: "That's right, don't miss it, fighting a war is also about strategy, remember to read more books in the future." ”

Later, when Luo Yan talked about Chen Wude's matter, it also caused a burst of indignation, and it was also through these things that Luo Yan gradually told some of the truths he felt to these people, although it may have little effect, but things must always be done slowly.

After coming out of the natural residence, everyone began to live a dull life again.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and it is time to sow seeds in spring.

Seeing that the time was almost there, Luo Yan found Li Shimin, who was gradually idle.

These days can finally take time out every day, Li Shimin also began to wander around the Hongwen Pavilion from time to time, chatting with the bachelor on duty and Luo Yan about Jingyi, so at this time, seeing that Luo Yan also came to find himself, Li Shimin knew that Luo Yan wanted to do something.

After meeting Li Shimin, I only heard Luo Yan ask: "Your Majesty, do you know that you were born in sorrow and died in peace?" ”

This question made Li Shimin stunned for a moment, born in sorrow and died in peace, this is not "Mencius. Is there an article in "Tell the Son", could it be that he has really relaxed recently, and even Luo Yan, a person who doesn't often see him, knows it? Li Shimin wondered in his heart, and replied: "Qing has something to say, and those who are beneficial to the country don't need to shy away from it, just say it." ”

Nodding, Luo Yan said: "Your Majesty, Wechen wants the students of Hongwen Hall to do Wechen a favor, and I implore Your Majesty to agree, and at the same time, appease the relatives of these students." ”

Originally, I thought that Luo Yan was going to admonish him, but who would have thought that he would come to ask him to help him, Li Shimin feigned anger: "What kind of moth do you want to make a fuss, tell me carefully, if the matter is too big, I can't hold it for you, you better avoid respecting it." After all, Luo Yan asked him to appease the relatives of those students, which is not a good thing. These subordinates of Li Shimin have a great ability to earn credit, but they also have a great ability to make trouble. If all of these people find themselves here, it will be a big headache to think about.

I saw Luo Yan Zhengse and said: "Since Your Majesty knows that "Born in Sorrow and Died in Peace", so he established the Hongwen Pavilion. But is it okay to let those children read books now? If this is the case, then let them go to Guozi to learn and Taixue, why do they need a lot of manpower and material resources. ”

Li Shimin was speechless by Luo Yan's rebuttal, so he didn't even feign anger, and asked angrily: "Say, what do you want to do, if you don't explain it, people will make trouble with me, and I won't be able to protect you." ”

Li Shimin is not telling a lie, these children are the children and grandchildren of that group of high-ranking officials, if Luo Yan makes a three long and two short, then it will be worth it, even if Li Shimin values Luo Yan, and he has made outstanding achievements, but in front of such a group of people, Luo Yan is a thick tree, and it will still fall down when the time comes.

Looking at Li Shimin with a smile, Luo Yan didn't hide it: "Weichen wants these boys from Hongwen Pavilion to plant a few acres of land for me." ”

Even Li Shimin was stunned by this, Luo Yan really dared to think about it, he dared to say it. Those little guys are not pampered, so Qu Tuquan and Yu Chi Baolin may have suffered a little with their own Lao Tzu, but now if these people are allowed to do farming, can their father and mother agree.

Waving his hand, Li Shimin said: "No, no, this is absolutely not good, let's just say that Wei Chigong, if he knows that his only seedling is pulled by you to farm, he can fight with you." Come in, this thing will never work. After speaking, Li Shimin waved his hand, indicating that there was no room for negotiation.

"If I say that General Wei Chi will never make trouble, can Your Majesty make a big camp about this?" Luo Yanthief smiled and looked at Li Shimin.

After thinking about it, the relatives of these children in Hongwen Pavilion are the most noisy Wei Chigong, and when he heard that Luo Yan was able to get Wei Chigong done, Li Shimin's opposition was not so strong, but he still said very cautiously: "This matter is really important, I'm afraid they will make trouble." ”

Seeing that Li Shimin was already a little relieved, Luo Yan immediately said his ultimate goal: "Since this is the case, it is better to let the prince go with him." The crown prince is the prince of a country, one person is above ten thousand people, if the prince does this, then others will be embarrassed to say anything. ”

The reason why this is the ultimate goal is just that when Luo Yan and Lu Deming are chatting these days, they feel that Li Chengqian is still a good boy now, thinking about the unbearable deeds in history, Luo Yan is ready to save this prince.

After hearing Luo Yan's words, Li Shimin was taken aback, and then shouted: "You are so bold, you still know that the prince is the prince of the country, don't you know the truth that the prince should not be moved lightly?" ”

He has a reason, Luo Yan was naturally not frightened by Li Shimin's scolding, but said with a serious face: "The prince has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and he doesn't know the people's suffering, if he wants to be as virtuous as His Majesty and not be deceived by the minister, he must go out and have a look." Does Your Majesty want his children and grandchildren to come out with a 'why not eat minced meat'? ”

"The son of the master, the relatives of flesh and blood, still can't rely on the respect of no merit, no hard work, and the weight of guarding gold and jade, and people are subordinate! Your Majesty is familiar with the scriptures, and must know what this means. Luo Yan didn't say much after speaking, and looked at Li Shimin quietly.

Li Shimin naturally knew about the article "Touching the Dragon and Saying Empress Dowager Zhao", but now that Luo Yan mentioned it, he began to reflect in his heart, but he put Luo Yan aside. (To be continued.) )
