Seventy-nine The Worries of the Old Ministers

Zhao Zhen now thinks about having a strong army day and night because of the border troubles, and he is also sick and rushed to the hospital, in fact, after Li Buqi made a discussion that day, he very much hoped that Li Buqi would go to train the army. But Li Buqi flatly refused, and the prime ministers did not agree with Li Buqi's method, and he did not know how to use the emperor's authority to promote this matter, so he had to throw away his hand. But in fact, he still hopes that Li Buqi can create a miracle.

Today, the three chief deacons actually unanimously elected Li Buqi to train the army, which really made him overjoyed, and his perception of Lu Yijian and Zhang Dexiang immediately improved a lot - the two old ministers still didn't completely refuse to change!

The three Zaizhi even thought about how to meet Li Buqi's request, which moved Zhao Zhen even more - look, the Zaizhi can still do things, and they will do things.

People have done all the preliminary work, and Li can't refuse if he doesn't give up.

However, Li Bu has been in the workplace for so many years, and he has already learned to speculate on the leader's decision with the darkest psychology, so in order to prevent being pitted too badly, he proposed that the officers and soldiers of this command box army should be screened according to his standards, and he resolutely did not want to pass it.

It's just a commanding school review army, and no one really looks at this little bit of people. Since this was the case, the emperor and the rulers readily agreed.

Then Li Buqi made another request. Since this is a new army for experiments, there will definitely be many differences, so Li Buqi asked the new army to be listed separately and send a lieutenant to supervise the army, so that if there is anything to ask the emperor directly.

Of course, the three deacons could not agree to this condition. Let Li Buqi go to train the army is to cut off Li Buqi's contact with the emperor, you directly contact the emperor through the lieutenant officials, isn't the plan of the three rulers in vain?

Lu Yijian said: "This matter is not in accordance with the rules. Where the Xiang Army should be under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, even the Xiang Army that is not reviewed should also be managed by the Third Division, how can it be reported directly to His Majesty if there is something to do? If that's the case, isn't that a mess? ”

Zhang Dexiang also said: "This matter must not be done! ”

This request is indeed not in line with the military system, and Zhao Zhen looked at Li Buqi again. Li Buqi said: "The minister wants to list this commander separately because the minister's training method is too different from the existing forbidden army and the box army, and it is completely incompatible. Moreover, the method of leading the army and the method of educating the soldiers are different from the past, and many things need to be headed by His Majesty. If it takes time to report through the Privy Council every time, this soldier will not be able to train. ”

Zhang Dexiang immediately retorted: "Are you deceiving me that I haven't read the book of soldiers? This method of military training is constantly changing, so how can your method not be compatible with the current method of military training? ”

Li did not give up or argue, but said: "If the minister does not believe it, the lower officials will write out their ideas first, and the minister will see if he can be accommodating with the current method." ”

Zhao Zhen is a person who is accustomed to reading the recital, since this matter cannot be decided, he habitually said: "Okay, since this is the case, I will write this method first, and I will see how different it is." ”

So the emperor drove back to the palace, and the noble ministers also went to calculate the winners and losers of the gambling game. This time, Zhang Xianggong lost a hundred yuan is still a trivial matter, but scratching his cat's paw and falling on his ass has become a joke that people talk about.

In the evening, Gao Zunyu came to Li Buqi and said, "Fortunately, my brother didn't take this errand today, otherwise it would have made people pit." My brother must remember that he must not change his culture to martial arts, and it will be difficult to change it back if he wants to. You see that kind of Shiheng, the nephew of the Great Confucian, could have relied on Enyin to be a civil official, but he became an officer, and now he is not at the mercy of others? My brother must bite this to death. ”

Li Buqi had other ideas. If you can establish a force that makes the emperor feel at ease and has strong combat effectiveness to fool the emperor, it can be regarded as digging a corner of the "ancestral system".

Therefore, Li Buqi directly threw the matter of steaming alcohol to Mao Xiaoyi and others, and devoted himself to compiling the army building outline. Anyway, the current consumers of alcohol are either noble or Taoist, and they have money, and the price of alcohol is more expensive than the same weight of silver, so it's nothing to waste.

Seeing that it was almost three o'clock before Lu Yijian saw off the last visitor, he habitually walked under the plane tree in the garden. Seeing that it was going to rain today, it was very cold, and his son Lu Gongsui hurriedly put a fur on him and said, "My lord, it's cold, let's go back to the house." ”。

Lu Yijian felt that compared to the quarrels and intrigues in the court, this place made people feel more peaceful, so there was no squeak.

Lu Gongqiu hesitated for a long time before asking in a low voice: "Why did the Lord recommend Li Bu to give up the training, why did he give such generous conditions?" I didn't care about customization. ”

Lu Yijian saw that the servants were afraid of disturbing him from a distance, and it was impossible to hear what they said before asking, "What do you think?" ”

That's the school. Lu Gongqiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "But then Li Buqi really has the ability to train soldiers?" ”

Lu Yijian shook his head: "The most important thing is not to let Li Buqi stay by His Majesty's side. ”

"Why is that?"

"In the past, the official family was surrounded by scribes, no matter how they fought in private, but there were rules for what should be known to the official family and what should not be known to the official family in front of His Majesty. But looking at Li Buqi's actions, he and the scribes are not of the same mind at all. With him, there are many more rights and wrongs in front of the official family. This time, the Beijing Shilin discussed the matter of "Zhou Li" was provoked by him, and he took it to the official family as a basis to change the ancestral system, who knows if this was his intention? You see, it's not so easy to settle down. ”

"And he understands a lot of things, and everyone in the court doesn't understand! In the past, court disputes were only based on scriptures, and the truth was all from ancient books, which everyone understood, and the officials also understood. It's all too clear what others will say and how to refute it. But who can refute what Li Buqi said? You don't understand, how to refute? Is it apocryphal? ”

"What Li Buqi said can be verified. The official said that every time you knock on the trough when feeding the pigs, even if you don't feed it at half a month, as long as you knock on the trough, the pigs will still run over. Who cared before? This time, he let the officials see that the nature of cats will really wear off, and the officials will believe in him more and more in the future. ”

Lu Yijian glanced around when he said this, and saw that the servants were all in the distance, and then said: "What is even more worrying is that the official family now trusts Li Buqi more and more, and often summons Li Buqi to inquire, and Li Buqi will always have some opinions on political affairs, which is not good." Over time, if you don't get it, the official family will think that Li Buqi is his Dongfang Shuo. ”

Lu Yijian snorted and said more deeply: "The official family is still young, and they may not want to learn from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so it is normal to be dissatisfied with the status quo. But the official family was born in the deep palace, grew up in the hands of women, only listened to Confucianism to talk about some great truths, only saw the ancient Ming monarch recited through the ages, but never dealt with the details, where do you know that it is not easy to do things? In addition, there are many people in the court who are clamoring for reform, and the officials only think that as long as there is reform, everything will be fine, and the more things the officials know, the more urgent the reform will be, and if they don't get it right, there will be a big mess. ”
