Chapter 752: The Son of Heaven Is Sick
Wang Pu handed over the task of building the Lingyan Pavilion to Zhao Pu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and at the same time ordered the Ministry of Rites to draw up a list of the heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion...... The emperor had to select twenty-four heroes and hang their portraits in the Lingyan Pavilion to show them to future generations for worship and respect.
"Dad, will there be you?" Ye Xi said mutterably while picking up the rice.
Without waiting for Ye Hua to speak, Fu San used the chopsticks in his hand to knock his son hard.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't!"
Ye Xi didn't dare to say anything, but he was thinking about it in his heart, even if he didn't ask his father, he would ask his daughter-in-law, and Shoufu would definitely know. After the little guy finished eating, he slipped away decisively......
Fu San was worried and rubbed his temples.
There are only two husbands and wives left, and there is nothing to hide.
"Brother, why do I think Your Majesty's move is a little uneasy and kind!"
Ye Hua shook his head, "Don't talk nonsense...... It's just that His Majesty has changed his mind, which surprises me. Ye Hua told his wife and the ...... Chai Rong once said that he would attack the Western Regions again, and even go south to use troops.
In Ye Hua's judgment, Chai Rong should be in a constant battle.
Since you have to fight all the time, how can you build the Lingyan Pavilion, and how can you determine the twenty-four heroes?
Obviously, the Son of Heaven wants to stop the war, at least not continue to use troops on a large scale...... The change came a little suddenly, and it was a little unexpected.
"It's always a good thing not to fight, you don't have to saddle a horse, you don't have to be born and die, don't you get tired of it...... I think these twenty-four heroes are a trap, in ancient times there were two peaches to kill three soldiers, and now there are twenty-four heroes...... Who is in front, who is in the back, how many civil officials, how many military generals, and those convicted ministers should be counted...... I pondered that there would definitely be an argument, and when the time came, the officials would be separated and treat each other as enemies, so that it would be convenient for the saints to control them. ”
Fu San is worthy of being the husband of the middle school, and he has some insight.
There is no doubt that Ye Hua is definitely qualified to be ranked among the twenty-four meritorious heroes, and he is also a very high one...... The so-called tree attracts the wind, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
Among the twenty-four meritorious heroes of the Tang Dynasty, there are not many who have been rewarded, especially the eldest grandson Wuji, who ranked first. He not only ranked first among the meritorious heroes, but also served as a minister of care and assisted Li Zhi.
It's just that he was defeated in the hands of Wu Zetian, was framed and distributed, and hanged himself.
Thinking of the eldest grandson Wuji, Fu San's heart was tired for a while...... is the same as the son of Shengming, the same is an auxiliary minister, could it be that her husband will follow the old path of the eldest grandson Wuji, or rather, what is Chai Rong hinting at?
Fu San's heart was pounding, she had everything now.
Her husband loves herself, her children are also smart, she is rich, known as the goddess of wealth, she has power, and she supervises the stock market, bond market, and futures market.
Countless women envy her, only Fu San knows how much pressure she has, and she will not allow anyone to ruin her life, including the Son of Heaven!
Fu San knows Chai Rong's ruthlessness better than anyone else, the eldest sister and the second sister, husband and wife are still like this, not to mention others!
Her eyes stared at Ye Hua tightly, and she hesitated for a long time before she said slowly: "Brother, you can't be indifferent, don't be greedy, don't want fame and fortune, don't care about titles...... You don't want to get involved, but others won't let us go, if the knife is cut, we can't kill us, right? ”
As she spoke, tears rolled down her eyes, and she couldn't stop crying.
Ye Hua walked over slowly, wrapped his wife's shoulders, and the husband and wife sat side by side...... He didn't covet women, and because of this, he had a single-minded wife, no matter the wind and waves, the family was as stable as Mount Tai, this is his luck!
"You're thinking too badly, and of course, that's a possibility." Ye Hua paused and said: "I am thinking that Your Majesty set up the Twenty-Four Meritorious Heroes Chart to provide some high-ranking people, especially those generals with heavy troops, including me. Ye Hua smiled, "He will reorganize the army, will collect the power of the generals, and will even reduce the number of soldiers." ”
"What? Cutting people? Fu San was a little surprised, "The sage doesn't want to build an eternal foundation, how can he easily disarm?" ”
"Hahaha!" Ye Hua laughed loudly, "Entering the era of firearms, the military strength of the Great Zhou is overwhelming, as long as it is enough to retain a small but fine standing army, if there is a war, you can recruit men and horses." ”
When it comes to speculating on Chai Rong's mind, no one is better at it than Ye Hua.
The appearance of the steam engine had a very significant impact on the entire war situation.
First of all, because of the steam engine pumping, the output of coal mines in Hedong increased more than ten times, and high-quality and low-cost coal was sent to Youzhou and Yunzhou, and the Northern Expeditionary Army received valuable fuel.
Even in the cold winter, very few people are frozen to death.
There is also a steam engine that has accelerated the production of weapons, the quality of guns and cannons has been greatly improved, and the most important thing is that the cost has dropped rapidly, and arming an army of 100,000 people has saved one-third of the price compared with the conquest of the Western Regions.
The steam engine was used in means of transportation, such as ships.
In the past, due to the shallow water of the Yongji Canal, a large number of slender men had to be arranged on both sides of the canal to pull heavy grain ships together in order to go north with difficulty.
Nowadays, some ships that have been replaced with steam engines do not need slender men at all, which greatly saves the number of people......
Of course, until Chai Rong went north, there were only 200 steam engines put into use in the Great Zhou. And it is bulky, inefficient, and often has problems.
But even so, keen people have realized that the world has changed...... Machines have replaced manpower, technology has triumphed over courage, and no matter how many famous generals and warriors have been able to compete with artillery and muskets.
For the right-hand man of the past, Chai Rong is no longer so dependent.
He didn't want to abandon the martial artists directly, so Chai Rong decided to set up the Lingyan Pavilion and enshrine the twenty-four meritorious heroes, which could be regarded as his explanation to the martial artists!
Fu San's brows furrowed, she thought about her husband's words, and said stupidly: "Isn't this still going to do something to the martial artists?" What's the difference? ”
Ye Hua shook his head, "Doing it to the martial artists does not mean attacking me, on the contrary, Your Majesty still has to rely on me to persuade those arrogant generals." ”
Fu San finally came to a daze, but she was not happy at all.
"Brother, you say, do we owe them royal? It's not our turn to do good things, so we do some of the work we get scolded. I can see it through, you, you're much more stupid than Your Majesty, and you make people play around, and you don't know it? ”
Ye Hua laughed, "Okay, you're smart, you don't want to suffer!" Are you really unprepared when I am? Rural cooperatives have been pushed down, financial systems have been built, factories have been put into operation, workers have been organized, and now there are even think tanks...... Your Majesty really can't touch me, and of course, I won't do anything out of the ordinary. If everyone behaves, the world will get better and better! ”
Ye Hua smiled and said: "Believe me, the world is really going to be peaceful, let's hurry up and work hard for the Ye family!" ”
Ye Hua stretched out his hand to pick up his wife, Fu San's face was flushed, and he obediently wrapped his arms around her husband's neck, although he was an old husband and wife, his sweetness did not decrease at all......
Chai Rong is going back to Beijing, and the most idle person has become Ye Hua, he has always been like this, the emperor is not there, he has to carry the burden, once the emperor comes back, he will be idle immediately, so Fu San said that Chai Rong is using Ye Hua, in fact, Ye Hua is not using Chai Rong, who is using whom, I'm afraid these two goods can't say it clearly in their hearts.
Just when everyone was waiting for the return of the Son of Heaven, news suddenly came that the saint was infected with a cold and temporarily recuperated in Youzhou, and after the dragon body recovered, he returned to Beijing.
At the same time, the Son of Heaven gave Wang Pu a decree that Shoufu should immediately go to Youzhou to assist the Son of Heaven in handling government affairs, and at the same time, appoint the crown prince to supervise the country, supervise the construction of Lingyan Pavilion, and draw up a disarmament plan...... Chai Rong demanded that the total number of people and horses in Da Zhou should be reduced to less than 300,000!
These wills arrived in Kaifeng one after another, and everyone was surprised...... It stands to reason that after the Son of Heaven returns to Beijing, he should solicit the opinions of all parties, come up with a plan, and implement it in a steady manner.
Why are you in such a hurry?
What's even more strange is that Wang Pu, as the prime minister, why did he let him go to Youzhou, but instead handed over the disarmament to the prince?
The crown prince is young, does he have so much prestige to promote disarmament?
Moreover, the total number of soldiers and horses in the Great Zhou is almost around 500,000, is it an easy thing to cut 200,000 in one go?
Everyone was confused and didn't know why.
But no matter what, no one dared to disobey the will of the Son of Heaven, and Wang Pu had to leave immediately and go to Youzhou.
Before leaving, he only met with Ye Hua.
"Master Hou, don't say anything else, the old man won't say anything else, the will of the Son of Heaven is here, and the disarmament will be cut, and please assist His Highness well."
Ye Hua bowed, he wanted to say something to Wang Pu, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he held back.
"Wang Xianggong, you have to pay more attention to your body."
Wang Pu smiled: "This old bone can still last for a few days." ”
Shoufu hurriedly went north to Youzhou, the prince supervised the country, and the entire capital was full of a treacherous atmosphere.
"Master, the disciple really can't figure it out, why did the father arrange it like this, and also, what is the condition of the father? I, I want to go to Youzhou, go to my father's side to serve the sick, and fulfill the filial piety of the son of man. But my father asked me to stay in the capital and preside over the disarmament...... Such a big thing, I, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it! ”
Ye Hua looked at the slightly immature disciple and sighed slightly, "Your Highness, filial piety is also obedient!" No matter how many thoughts you have in your heart, no matter how many words you have, you have to listen to the words of the saints, what Your Majesty explains, what you have to do as a courtier...... If Your Highness is worried, you can write to greet him, and it is imperative that the disarmament be completed as soon as possible in accordance with the will of the saint, so that His Majesty may be at ease. ”
Guo Zongxun was young and inexperienced, but after Ye Hua's words, he finally had an idea and thought: "Master, how should we disarm it, should we cut down the old and weak, or abolish the forbidden army?" ”
Ye Hua thought for a while, "No, this time the disarmament should be to strengthen military discipline, break up and reorganize, break the original rules and regulations, and establish an army that truly belongs to Your Majesty!" ”
There was one sentence that Ye Hua didn't say...... Chai Rong's illness may have something to do with the army!
