Chapter 661: The Prince's Mind
Chu Zhaofu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, faced the two little officials under him, and said with a cold face: "I want to protect you, but you have committed a heinous crime!" Beat the warriors who have returned from the Western Regions, and no one will be able to save you! ”
These two little officials lowered their heads very deeply, their hearts were like ashes, and they were completely hopeless, to talk about it, they were wronged enough, Sang Yun was in tatters, and they came to shout what the envoys of the Great Jin Dynasty, and those who had a little brain would treat him as a madman, and there were too many people who ran the Great Zhou to cheat tribute over the years, but it was not so direct.
Don't hit him, hit whom!
They couldn't have imagined that they would have beaten someone who shouldn't have been beaten.
Just from the excitement of the people in the capital, they knew that it was over!
A mouthful of foam can drown them, and it is not bad to save the lives of their families.
The two guys kept their heads down, waiting for them to fall.
Chu Zhaofu pondered for a long time, and said: "This official adheres to the legal situation of Tianli and Guoju, and suggests that the Criminal Department send you to the Western Regions, what to do, you should know it in your hearts!" ”
"Western Regions, Western Regions?"
The two looked at each other, completely stupid!
Sending the Western Regions, is it for us to send us to death?
Rather than leaving his hometown and dying thousands of miles away, it is better to cut off his head immediately!
And the Western Regions are so far away, how are they going to go?
The two of them were still looking at each other, and Chu Zhaofu was furious, "Ignorant fool! The imperial court wants to send troops to the Western Regions, so naturally you will send an advance army to the Western Regions! ”
"Ahh
The two exclaimed again, this time not with fear, but with excitement!
That's right, it's excitement!
How many people are squeezing their heads and wanting to go to the Western Regions to make contributions.
They can go, not as a punishment at all, but as a reward!
I heard that many generals ran to sign up for the army, but they were turned away.
Chen Shi made it very clear that this time he went to the Western Regions, he didn't bring any extra people, he had to have real skills.
Either he is a loyal and brave man of the first class, or he has a skill, he can forge, he can make gunpowder, muskets, he knows medicine, he knows astronomy, he knows civil engineering...... All in all, these 1,000 people are seeds, and the purpose of sending them over is to comprehensively improve the combat effectiveness of the Guiyi Army and Khotan, so that their strength can be doubled.
The two officials of the Ministry of Rites still made a big mistake, how could they squeeze into the army?
In fact, they are really useful, whether it is Khotan or the Guiyi army, they all refer to the Tang system and manage the place. The Great Zhou wants to fully support the Western Regions, not just sending troops.
It is also necessary to comprehensively reform the official system of the two places, so that they can undertake the factories and workshops sent by the Great Zhou, and learn to mobilize the Han people in the Western Regions in the way of the Great Zhou.
Not only the Ministry of Rites, but also other ministries, including the local yamen, must dispatch elite soldiers and strong generals to set off with the army.
Don't look at the fact that there are only 1,000 people, but it is the essence of the Great Zhou, and if you use it well, you can copy a miniature version of the Great Zhou court in the Western Regions...... Because of this, it is particularly important who will rule this force.
Chen Shi is the general who leads the troops, his kung fu and the art of war are not weak, and he is relatively stable and obedient, so he is responsible for commanding the men and horses and defending against the Black Khan cavalry, without the slightest problem.
But he can only represent the military, and he also needs more important people to represent the entire Great Zhou!
It stands to reason that it is the best choice to be the cabinet princes of the dynasty, but they are too old to bear the long journey, and send them over, it is not easy to cooperate between the civil and military, all need to have a person who surpasses the civil and military, on behalf of the Son of Heaven, to go to the Western Regions! Comforting the Han people in the Western Regions, coordinating various affairs, and uniting the Han people in the Western Regions as soon as possible.
"Father, who else can do this except for children? The child begs his father for permission! ”
The prince has been running in front of Chai Rong for three consecutive days, pleading for this matter, and this time he simply knelt down, and there was a posture that Chai Rong would not get up if he did not agree.
Chai Rong frowned, the prince is willing to go, of course it is a good thing, he can also see that since the death of Queen Fu, the prince has grown rapidly, has become more and more sensible, and has made progress in his studies, and he also inspected the price of vegetables in Kaifeng and came up with ways to increase the income of vegetable farmers.
All made Chai Rong feel very pleased, but the problem was that the prince was not yet ten years old, and he ran to the Western Regions thousands of miles away, which was too dangerous, not to mention the sword and sword, just being infected with a disease could kill him!
"Emperor, don't waste any more spit, as the crown prince, I am very pleased to be able to think about state affairs. But do everything according to your ability. You can't be a fool of your temperament, and you can't be a reckless man. You just have to study hard, and sooner or later your father will give you a chance to practice! ”
"Father!"
Guo Zongxun said loudly: "Father, the son-in-law heard that the people of the Han family, since the Anshi Rebellion, for more than 200 years, have gone forward and fought to the death against the barbarians, from sixty-year-old men to ten-year-old children, they will go to the battlefield, and the yellow sand will be stained with blood...... They did not have the support of the Central Plains, and they fought hard for so many years on their own! It's just a blood! My Han family son, endlessly, for thousands of years, standing unshakable, is relying on this momentum! The fact that the children went to the Western Regions on behalf of their father shows that the Son of Heaven values their courage, not only for the Han people in the Western Regions, but also for the people of the world! Da Zhou can't treat the loyal and righteous wrong! ”
Guo Zongxun talked eloquently in front of his father: "If you send other people, how can you clean up people's hearts and boost morale? As a descendant of the Guo family, children can't be afraid of swords and avoid swords, afraid of death and greedy for life! The child implores his father, and he will be gracious! ”
The little prince's words were reasonable, and Chai Rong nodded frequently when he heard it.
He personally walked up to the crown prince, helped his son up, and patted his still very immature shoulder with satisfaction.
"You're good!"
Chai Rong said: "As the Son of Heaven, people say that they have a constitution in their mouths, and they can do whatever they want...... But after so many years, my father just felt a heavy responsibility, and he couldn't relax for a moment. Emperor, you can understand the responsibility of the heavenly family, and your father will be relieved. It's just that you're still too young, this time your father will never let you go, be obedient, study well with the masters, and increase your skills! ”
After Chai Rong finished speaking, he touched the top of his son's head, and then turned around to leave.
At this moment, Guo Zongxun suddenly whispered: "Father, if you don't let the child go, then, can the uncle go?" ”
Brother-in-law!
Brother Guo Xing!
Chai Rong turned his head sharply, frowning.
"Emperor, why did you think of letting the Shang King go?"
Guo Zongxun said: "Father, in the clan, only the uncle is older than me, he has been to Bashu again, can also make firearms, and learned medical skills, the most important thing is that he is a member of the clan, can represent the Son of Heaven, he can also boost morale and clean up people's hearts!" ”
Chai Rong waved his hand, and he said solemnly: "Emperor, do you know what the consequences will be if you let the King of Shang go?" Who suggested that you recommend Shang Wang? ”
In Chai Rong's tone, it was difficult to hide his anger, the air pressure between father and son was very low, very low!
Guo Zongxun was very afraid of his father, but at this moment he straightened his waist and met his father's gaze.
"Father, let the uncle go to the Western Regions, it was the child's own thought, and no one instigated the child." After a pause, Guo Zongxun said: "The child knows that letting the uncle go will increase his prestige, and the queen mother was worried that the uncle would threaten the child, so ......" Guo Zongxun suddenly raised his face and said loudly: "Father, the child thinks that the queen mother is wrong!" ”
"Why was she wrong?" Chai Rong said in a deep voice.
Because she only thought about the great gains and losses, and didn't think about the whole world! Sending the children of the clan to the Western Regions can instantly recover the hearts of the Han people in the Western Regions, and return the four thousand miles of land to the hands of the Great Zhou...... This is an indefatigable deed, compared to this, everything else is a floating cloud, no problem! ”
The little one is enthusiastic and full of confidence.
Chai Rong took two steps and grabbed his son's shoulder very hard, he stared at his son's eyes, "Are you really not afraid that someone will take your place?" ”
"Don't be afraid! As long as the child does the right thing, no one can replace the child! Guo Zongxun smiled and said, "Father, aren't you also able to accommodate Master Ye?" ”
Chai Rong was stunned, and suddenly laughed and shook his head, "How can this be compared!" ”
He said this, but his heart blossomed.
Chai Rong asked himself, the Son of Heaven doesn't need to know everything, or even understand nothing, but there is one thing that must be outstanding, that is, he has a mind and can know people well.
Sending Guo Xingge to represent the Son of Heaven and go to the Western Regions is definitely a good move.
It's just that it's easy to make other associations...... Queen Fu was planted on it!
"Emperor, do you really have the guts?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of!" Guo Zongxun clenched his fists......
