Chapter 8: Spring Returns Like Wings (2)
Chapter 8 (2)
This chapter is a forced transition, and there are affairs entangled, and it is even slower, and the section gives you a small surprise.
The sun didn't come out long before a wave of heat came over the sky.
Walking on the corridor of the East Palace, Li Wei asked Xi Fenglei: "Can you adapt to the weather in the Eastern Capital?" ”
"The subordinates feel very stuffy and hot, not as cool as Qinghai," Xifeng Lei replied honestly.
"The eastern capital is fine, but the south is really damp."
"My subordinates are still a little uncomfortable."
"yes, so in war, soil and water are an important factor. Cao and Fu Jian's failure to go to the south of the Yangtze River for a variety of reasons, such as unadaptability to water and soil, and unadaptability to the weather, which is also an important one. ”
"But Your Majesty can rest assured that his subordinates will work hard to fulfill their duties."
"Don't be so nervous, this time, that time, the matter is a foregone conclusion, the crisis period has passed, in this case, you can't say it again in the future."
"Yes."
Li Wei looked at this young man who was not tall, but was very fierce in battle, and his eyes were very appreciative. Brave in battle, loyal and fast. This is better than Xin Chengji beside him. Seeing Li Wei looking at him, Xin Chengsi didn't know what Li Wei was thinking, and arched his hand and said, "My subordinates have something to ask for." ”
"Say."
"Since there is nothing going on in the capital, can Your Majesty let your subordinates go to the front line."
"Want to go to the front?"
"Yes."
"Isn't Dongdu good?"
"My subordinates have heard from His Majesty that soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers, and the east is good, and the court has rewarded his subordinates with a lot of money, and the subordinates are very happy. But if you stay in the Eastern Capital, your subordinates will have no chance to make meritorious contributions. After speaking, he looked at Li Wei with some humility.
Li Wei smiled, and looked at the fine sealing thunder again, and there was some longing in the eyes of the same fine sealing thunder.
"You don't have to make such a strange look, you have this mind, I approve of it. I'm afraid that no, people must always be enterprising. Let me think about it. "I brought five hundred soldiers and entered Luoyang. Of these 500 soldiers, not one can be ten. And loyalty is guaranteed.
Leave them in the Feather Forest Army, and you will be very safe. But it's a pity that all of them stayed, these people are all generals, and if they practice, they may not be able to become generals like Guo Yuanzhen, but they are good captains and generals. In the capital, there is about peace and quiet, and in the future, it will be scheming, not martial arts. Even if it is a martial artist, he has a high prestige in the Yulin Army. In the Yulin Army alone, in terms of influence, he can gather half of the soldiers and obey his own command.
So he said: "It's not good, the capital has a smooth transition, and you are still patrolling the palace, which is not only a fee, but also gives people some tongue." ”
Xi Fenglei rushed forward, and Shan 1i knelt down and said: "But Your Majesty, you can't let us all leave, at least leave more than half of the people, Qinghai's ...... Feel relieved. ”
"With your words, I am really at ease," Li Wei patted him on the shoulder, and said to the eunuch in the distance: "Come on, pass on Pei Xingjian and Cheng Wuig to see you." ”
Go to prison.
After a while, Pei Xingjian and Cheng Wuig were taken to the East Palace.
Li Wei looked at Cheng Wuig, it turned out that he had been in the Yulin Army, but Li Wei never paid attention. It wasn't until this appointment that Li Wei remembered this person and was very familiar. Familiar, always a famous general, so I sent someone to inquire.
But it's the first time they've met, maybe they've met before, but Li Wei didn't pay attention.
He had a dark face, five long strands of hair underneath, a pair of leopard eyes, half a head taller than himself, and a suit of bright armor, like a giant spirit god. nodded and said, "General Cheng, I heard that you are the first good man in the Yulin Army, and when I saw you today, you really deserved your reputation." ”
"The minister doesn't dare to be," Cheng Wuge gave a military salute and arched his hand.
"Your Majesty, that's not necessarily, some people look good, but it's just a 1A fist embroidery 1i inside," Xin Chengji said unconvinced. He hasn't left the Yulin Army yet, why is this person the number one hero in the Yulin Army?
Li Wei smiled again, good competition, he still likes it, as long as it is not as fierce as Xue Ne and Zhang Qianqing.
"You're the General Shin."
"Exactly," Xin Chengji said proudly. At that time, Wang Xiaojie was defeated, and there were few people who could escape, whether it was Zhang Qianqiao or himself, it was killed alive. Subsequently, he followed the emperor in many bloody battles. What kind of son is this Cheng Wu IG?
"General Xin, can you pick this up?" Cheng Wuig originally wanted to wrestle with him and teach him a lesson, but thinking that this was the East Palace, he was very rude. So he looked at a stone pixiu beast next to him, that is, the stone lion in the mouth of the people, but it was not, and all kinds of stone lions in the palace, including pixiu, pixiu, negative car, and raccoon, were all ancient beasts, not the lion in Africa.
This stone Pixiu beast elephant is not very big, but after all, it is made of stone, at least a thousand catties, that is, more than 400 catties in later generations, I don't know if the tripod that Xiang Yu lifted is more than 400 catties, even if there is, it will not be heavier than this stone statue. Cheng Wuig walked over, let out a loud shout, and picked it up easily. Because of the lack of strength, I didn't lift it, but I also hugged it to shoulder level. Then easily place it on the ground again.
Seeing a group of eunuchs and palace maids, their eyes almost fell off.
"yes, can't I do it?" Xin Chengsi walked over, also shouted, and picked it up.
Everyone applauded, but Li Wei's eyes were sharp, and he could see that compared to Cheng Wuig, Xin Chengsi had a little more difficulty when he picked up the stone pixiu beast. didn't break it, and said: "Both of them are heroes and heroes, and I am very happy to see such an outstanding scene." Come on, give General Cheng and General Xin 300 horses of silk each. ”
The eunuch went to fetch silk, and Li Wei invited them to the inner hall to sit down.
Let Gong V serve tea and ask, "Two Aiqing, when are you ready to leave?" ”
Pei Xingjian replied: "I've been ready for a long time, as long as O1 catches the soldiers, I will leave immediately in the next few days." ”
"I'm here, replacing wine with tea, and wishing Pei Qing and Cheng Qing a victory." After taking a sip of tea, he said, "I called you here today, and there are two things I want to say." ”
"Your Majesty, please."
"First of all, I brought a group of soldiers from Qinghai, these people Pei Qing also knows, it is a pity to put them in the palace to guard, so I plan to take half of the soldiers from O1 and go to the Western Regions with you."
Pei Xingjian frowned, and he didn't agree in his heart, whether it was the Western Turks or the Eastern Turks, it was not in his heart. Besides, there are also generals available, and there is no shortage of about these two hundred. Although it was too expensive, it was helpful for His Majesty that they stayed in the palace to guard it.
"It's too much," Li Wei said lightly as he playfully turned his teacup.
Although it seems that the crisis has been lifted, he is on guard, and his parents are also on guard, still living in Shangyang Palace and refusing to return to the palace, so it is not good to continue the stalemate. He mastered the emperor's righteousness, and there was no need to leave these 500 soldiers. Or that the parents issued an edict to abolish themselves as the emperor. This is also unlikely, when he was the crown prince at that time, his parents were jealous, and he was the emperor. If that's the case, is it possible for the parents to do a good job of breaking the net?
But Cheng Wuig is here, and it's not easy to say it clearly. This person was just promoted to the general of the right leading army some time ago, and I don't know if it is my mother's person.
"Your Majesty is very right." Pei Xingjian was as smart as a demon, and immediately understood, and replied.
"The second thing is that I still have an idea in my heart, I don't know if it's appropriate, and I ask Pei Qing to refer to it."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"The marching ability of the generals in the army is not as good as at the beginning of the founding of the country."
Pei Xingjian nodded. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, famous generals were like clouds, like when they arrived in Zhenguan, they were embarrassed to be able to do it, but now they can proudly say that there are few generals who can lead their own troops.
"The reason for this is that there are many battles. However, in order to increase the number of generals, we should not use troops unscrupulously. If there are fewer soldiers, the generals will lack opportunities for training. In the long run, it will not be good for our dynasty. But my experience has led me to think of another way. If it weren't for Pei Qing's advice, I would have lost a lot when I arrived in Qinghai this time. Therefore, I want to set up a school, this school does not teach scriptures and righteousness, does not teach etiquette books, selects some talented generals from all over the world, and then asks my famous generals, such as Pei Qing and Liu Qing, to teach them military knowledge. ”
"Your Majesty, it seems that something is wrong, when Wei Guogong taught Hou Jun the art of war, he only taught half of it, Taizong questioned, Wei Guogong said, there is half of the minister's learning, it is enough to deal with the barbarians, there is no rebellion, why learn it all?"
"That's the way it goes. However, Pei Qing, how many generals in the world can have the talent of Hou Junji? How many generals have the antipathy of Hou Junji? Even if it's my qualifications, it won't satisfy Pei Qing, right? ”
"Your Majesty's qualifications are good."
"Don't praise me, I'm self-aware. According to the teachings of Zhu Qing, after a period of actual combat, the ability of the generals of the DPRK and China will be higher than the current one, and the soldiers are the key to the war, and the generals are also the key to the war. Why did Pei Qing never treat the Turks as one thing, but he was cautious about Tibet? Without him, on Qinling'er. The DPRK and China need generals. Take a look at a few decades later, Pei Qing and Liu Qing, Xue Qing, and General Heizhi, once you get old, I don't know who to use as the general. ”
Pei Xingjian lowered his head and pondered, the emperor's words are also reasonable, and there are also those who are the show of the future, such as Wang Fangyi this time, and that Guo Yuanzhen, and then count down, the real number can't be counted. Even Guo Yuanzhen, or Xue Ne, who His Majesty wants to carry Pei, and Zhang Qianxuan, are not perfect. Said: "The country is based on martial arts, and it has always respected martial arts. The generals already have a lot of power in their hands, and the ministers are worried about ......"
"That's what I'm about to say, not only you're worried, I'm also worried," Li Wei took a sip of tea. Later, there were Jiedu envoys, but now they have not appeared, but the important state capitals in the border have set up governors, and the power in their hands is no less than that of the various Jiedu envoys.
The Song Dynasty's method didn't work, it was overkill. In particular, Bianliang, Tokyo, has assembled hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops, which cost the state a lot of financial resources every year and brought a lot of trouble to public security, but because of the lack of actual combat, it is not useful when it is really useful.
For a good exhibition, the center of gravity of the army must be shifted to the frontier, and a group of troops will be stationed in the two capitals to defend it, just in case. But you can't just learn from the Song Dynasty. Not only must they be garrisoned, but they must also be rotated, so that the two Beijing forbidden armies will have at least a quarter of the veterans. When it comes, there are soldiers available in the two capitals, and there are generals to make. Some words are difficult to say, and he said, "So I have an idea, the civil and military must be separated." Civilian officials are in charge, and military generals are in charge. It can be implemented not only in the court but also in the prefectures. ”
"This is one method, but it also has drawbacks, Your Majesty, think about it, there will be no trouble if the civil and military officials are separated. This is true. However, there must be a premise for this, civilian and military officials coordinate with each other, otherwise when using troops, civilian officials will do tricks in government affairs and logistics, which can lead to failure. But it's too coordinated, and it's not good. ”
Li Wei was speechless.
Cheng Wuig said: "The ministers have a way, Your Majesty can rotate." ”
"It's not appropriate," Li Wei immediately replied, "Rotation is still a palliative measure." I also talked to General Jia just now, although the eastern capital is prosperous, but the weather here, General Xifeng is very uncomfortable. There is a folk proverb that the fist does not leave the hand, the song does not leave the mouth, and the familiarity makes perfect. Liaodong has the situation of Liaodong, and Qinghai has the situation of Qinghai. You can adapt to Liaodong, but you may not be able to adapt to Qinghai. No matter which general is in a new place, there must always be a period of adaptation, weather, terrain, customs, people, and so on. The longer you stay, the clearer you are, the more you can build immortal achievements. The rotation is diligent, but it is not beautiful. ”
Li Wei's words also made Cheng Wuig speechless.
"I'm not in a hurry about this, including the school, I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait until Pei Qing comes back from the Turks, and then I'll discuss. But now our Tang Dynasty is the best time and the worst time. The best time was when after the governance of Gaozu, Taizong and Emperor Taishang, the country was developing smoothly and the number of people increased. The worst of times is when some drawbacks have already formed. But it is still time to correct it urgently. Let's create a big era together. ”
"Ah," the men replied.
Li Wei sent off the guests at this time.
Standing up, Pei Xingjian suddenly whispered to Li Wei: "The envoy of the Wa Kingdom has left the Eastern Capital. ”
"I'm going to thank Liu Qing this time." Li Wei said movingly. Liang Jinzhu and 6 horses don't care, they have done a lot of things for themselves, but they have given them fame, money and status, as businessmen in this era, what they have paid is enough to repay them. But Liu Renliang is different, he worships the prime minister, has no seal, and has no reward. Although this time it was carried out in secret, the mobilization of weapons in the future would inevitably make Pei Yan and others aware of it, and there was still something to do. Even at his instigation, Liu Renliang was able to ruin his reputation.
It seems that more ministers have to be pulled to participate in this matter, otherwise Pei Yan will make a fuss here, and Liu Renliang will be able to let him step down. At this time, Hao Chujun had already resigned, and Liu Renliang could no longer resign, otherwise his two elbows would be removed by his mother.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to thank Liu Gong, didn't Your Majesty say just now, to create a big era, ministers, waiting for Your Majesty's day." Pei Xingjian said with hope in his eyes.
"I will live up to your trust."
"Your Majesty, please go back," Pei Xingjian finished speaking, caught up with Cheng Wuge and left the East Palace, on the way, Cheng Wuig asked curiously: "Pei Lang, I heard a saying outside, saying that Pei Lang got the true inheritance of Wei Guogong." ”
"Yes and no, at that time, General Su Dingfang led the troops under Wei Guogong and was appreciated by Wei Guogong, who taught some military techniques. But not all. Then he was under the command of General Su again, was appreciated by General Su, and taught another part. It can only be said that it has obtained the true flavor of the Patriotic Art of War. Later, I was faintly worried that someone would harm Your Majesty, so I took precautions and taught a part of it to Your Majesty. ”
"Pei Lang, can you take me as an apprentice?" Cheng Wuig asked with hot eyes. The emperor fought a glorious battle in Qinghai, but only part of it, with his military qualifications, I think it is no worse than the emperor.
"If you want to learn, I can teach you halfway after I go on the expedition." Pei Xingjian said.
Pei Xingjian is both appreciative and suspicious of this person, but he is a martial artist in the end, and he probably won't have as much thought as Wenchen, besides, he is also a material that can be made, he granted him grace, and the emperor has a huge personality charm, so he will not come together with Pei Yan and them. Of course, he also had to observe on the road.
"Thank you, Pei Lang," Cheng Wuig jumped up happily.
At the end is a military general, this honest action, Pei Xingjian is at ease. This time, he glanced away......
At this time, Li Wei was meditating in the East Palace. When he thought of running a military school, he thought of one more thing. Not only the military schools, but also the imperial examinations should be reformed, only two prisons, and only the meritorious disciples of the powerful who have been educated, and the society is becoming more and more unfair, and the evil consequences of polarization are not traversers, and they also know it.
Not only to popularize the imperial examination and give more Han disciples a chance, but also one thing, how to popularize natural science. Learning from Lao Tzu and Confucius can learn a lot of principles of being a human being, and you can also learn some ways to govern the country. But it is not enough, and if we do not pay attention to science, the country will not be truly strong forever.
But......
"Controversy," Li Wei sighed.
"What controversy?" Wan'er asked.
"Thousands of years of tradition, do I have the power to overthrow it?"
Wan'er's beautiful eyes turned, she didn't know what Li Wei was referring to, she shook her head and said, "It's better not to overthrow, even if Your Majesty is in control of the big government, it can't be overthrown." ”
"I knew you would say that."
"Could it be that the concubine is wrong?"
"That's right, you're doing it for my good." Speaking of which, with a wry smile, some ideas and traditions are deeply ingrained and cannot be moved anymore. Even if you have a day, you can't move. I could only sow a seed, and I continued to meditate. He doesn't remember much history, maybe he has seen it, but it is impossible to remember everything. Or such as a whip law in the Ming Dynasty, the two tax laws in the later Tang Dynasty, or the apportionment into the mu in the Qing Dynasty, he knows how to do it specifically, and he can't remember it clearly.
However, the reasons for the rise or fall of several large Zhengshuo dynasties can still be known. If all the later generations can't be moved, how will it be improved and implemented in the Tang Dynasty? Wan'er fanned him for him, and made a gesture to Gong E, who brought iced tea in the distance, signaling her not to disturb Li Wei.
"I'm not that delicate, you've worked hard yourself, go and rest for a while."
"Whoa."
Shangguan Wan'er walked down, Bi'er brought the tea and said, "Wan'er, thank you." ”
"Sister Bi'er, why are you thanking me?"
"You've done a lot for Your Majesty."
"Sister Bi'er, you are the most loyal to Your Majesty."
"Without Your Majesty, then there is me today," Bi'er looked at Li Wei not far away, with a smile on her face, the crown prince finally became the emperor. And also a good emperor.
Wei Yue raised her fist and said, "After two years, I will also help Your Majesty do things." ”
Di Hui and Di Hao looked at each other and smiled, but Pei Yuhe was a little worried in her heart, and she was faintly worried between her eyebrows, because she felt that she was noble in the East Palace, but she didn't help the emperor much. No matter how wooden she is, these two little guys are growing up strongly, and it is impossible for her not to feel threatened.
After thinking for a while, Li Wei stood up and said, "Come on, go to the Sifang Pavilion and call those envoys from Europe to the East Palace to see you." ”
I thought about a lot of things, but I had to implement them slowly, and I couldn't rush them, such as how to use this group of messengers. But first of all, he has to understand that he doesn't remember most of this part of Europe's history. Either know that Byzantium fought with the Great Eclipse, and Byzantium suffered a lot and fell into disadvantage, allowing the Great Cannibal to get many areas. Either the Frankish kingdom was divided into three and became the three kingdoms of Germany, France and Italy. I learned a little about Hu Ying in Qinghai, but I didn't know very well.
But as soon as Shangguan Wan'er heard his words, she eagerly came over and said, "Your Majesty, it's not appropriate, you can't invite it." ”
"Why?" Li Wei was puzzled. There is anything wrong with meeting a group of envoys in the East Palace, at least it is better than my parents often meeting a group of Taoist monks.
"Does Your Majesty really want to marry that golden princess?"
"What princess do you marry?" Several Vs were stunned.
"It's the princess of the Frankish kingdom." Shangguan Wan'er whispered in the ears of a few V sons, she couldn't persuade herself, so everyone persuaded together.
This princess has seen it a few times, and she still has an impression, and she all looked at Li Wei in surprise.
"What to marry, what I met with is this group of envoys, who have great uses," Li Wei pressed on Shangguan Wan'er's little nose, but thought in his heart that if it was to come in handy, he really had to include this princess in the East Palace. It seems that this alone is very difficult to do. f
