Tomorrow is the first birthday of Xu Ping's two sons, and the most important program is naturally the trial year, which is what later generations said to catch the week. www.biquge.info Zhang Sanniang, Lin Suniang and Su Er, three women, chattered with great interest, discussing with great interest what should be placed, how to place it, and what the meaning of each thing represents. After hearing it for a while, Xu Ping felt that his head was about to explode, put down his official order, and said to Li Zhang beside him: "It's stuffy in the house, let's go out and drink two glasses of wine to relieve the heat." ”

Li Zhang let out a sigh: "Okay, okay, I'm also feeling thirsty." ”

After speaking, no matter what Su Er muttered later, he went out of the room with Xu Ping.

The two walked all the way to the back garden, stood by the pool and blew the wind for a while, Xu Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I really didn't know that a few women would get together and it would be so lively!" If you listen to them noisy every day, how can you get by? ”

Li Zhang sighed: "Brother is blessed, sister-in-law is knowledgeable, usually there is nothing to quarrel with you, and it is only two or three days a year." In our house, alas—"

Sighing, Li Zhang couldn't go on. He didn't mean Su'er, he grew up with Lin Suniang, even if Su'er was careful, she was still very quiet. It's about his mothers, as well as the royal relatives involved. Li Yong and the eldest Zhao Zhen only recognized their relatives when they were old, and they were middle-aged and developed, so they inevitably accepted a few concubines. His family is not the same as Xiuxiu, he lives outside alone, and his house is noisy every day, just like a vegetable market.

Let a few women fiddle with their own minds, because tomorrow the emperor will come to watch the ceremony in person, Xu Ping called Xu Changlai and asked carefully, and when he saw that there was no omission, he asked him to order someone to come over and prepare some wine and light vegetables, and he and Li Zhang drank wine.

Sitting under the willow tree by the pool, blowing a cool breeze, and eating two pieces of watermelon, it can be regarded as dissipating the heat from the whole body.

After drinking two glasses of chilled fruit wine, Li Zhang said: "Brother, the official family recently instructed me, saying that they want me to follow you to repair the military system of the past dynasties. said that he wanted to take the opportunity to read some books and familiarize himself with the allusions of the previous dynasty, and asked me to ask you if it was appropriate. ”

Hearing Li Zhang say this, Xu Ping knew that Zhao Zhen was now entangled in his heart. The special experience and identity made Zhao Zhen believe in Xu Ping in his heart. In addition, he led troops to break through Jiaozhi, Xu Ping said that there are many problems with the forbidden army now, and they can't fight, and Zhao Zhen's first choice from an emotional point of view is to believe. But the generals of the forbidden army made a fuss and made Zhao Zhen sober up, this kind of national event can't rely on Xu Ping to say it, so he really changed the military system. He can convince himself, but he can't convince the Chinese military generals. In the end, it was left for Xuanweijun to change it himself, because he believed in Xu Ping, and sent Li Zhang over to follow him and get familiar with it early.

The early death of the biological mother, the mother and son did not recognize each other until their death, which was a thorn in Zhao Zhen's heart, and all this was compensated for by Li Yonghe and his family. Especially Li Zhang, who has been by Zhao Zhen's side all these years, is really closer than his own brother. After being by his side for so many years, the relationship has been established, and Li Zhang's official position has also been promoted, and Zhao Zhen is thinking about getting him some real credit. Zhao Zhen is not at ease with others, but if he follows Xu Ping, it will be foolproof.

After sorting out these clues, Xu Ping said to Li Zhang: "This is a good thing, what is inappropriate." However, there are some things I need to make clear to you in advance, and you should remember them yourself. The people who compiled the military system of the calendar were all foreign ministers, either attendants or pavilion officials, and they read poetry and books. First, you are not familiar with them, and secondly, these people have a sense of arrogance in their hearts, you are a relative, and in their eyes, you are an official who clings to you, and you will inevitably look down on you. If you want to follow me to make a book, you must be humble and work with these people. ”

Li Zhang smiled: "My brother and I grew up together, and you don't know my temperament?" Even though I was a little stubborn when I was a child, I have changed over the years. The official family also told me that when I go to the foreign court, I must be modest and cautious, and learning more is the first priority. ”

"It's good that you know, and when you have the right mentality, you can say everything. Studying with peace of mind for a year or two will be of infinite benefit to you in the future. ”

Li Zhang said yes again and again, drank two wines with Xu Ping, and asked: "If you follow the book, my brother will teach me two sentences first." Don't make people laugh as soon as you open your mouth, and be despised by those civil servants and Confucians. ”

Xu Ping smiled when he heard it: "As long as your attitude is correct, no one will look down on you." In the eyes of those Wenchen, you will be like that in two sentences, and it will not be like that, there is no difference. ”

After speaking, after thinking about it, Xu Ping said again: "However, the Holy Lord asked you to follow me to make up a book, it is one to be familiar with people, and more importantly, I am afraid that you still need to learn something." If there is nothing to do today, let's talk about the military system, and you will have a direction for learning in the future. Although you have been in the palace, your position is in the army, and you know a lot about things in the army. Let's talk about it, what does the forbidden army need to change now? ”

Li Zhang said: "It's not difficult for my brother to ask, in fact, everyone in the DPRK and China knows that the selected generals that the forbidden army needs most now are serious military discipline." It's just that the personnel in the army are complicated, and most of the generals have deep backgrounds, although they know it, it is extremely difficult to do. ”

Xu Ping shook his head: "The country has been stable for decades, and you can't rely on military merits to choose generals, this is the case in all dynasties, and high-ranking officials in the army are either relatives or nobles." But during the Han Dynasty, even if they were relatives and nobles, such as Wei Huo and others, all of them were relatives, they could drive the desert for a long time. Even when the country is in decline, a partial general with thousands of soldiers can still see the surrounding barbarians as nothing. And such as this dynasty, when Yongxi Northern Expedition, the general was still there, there were many elite soldiers, excellent armor, and the Khitan battle was returned, Taizu Taizong was obsessed with the restoration of Youyan, but now not many people dare to mention it, and what is it for? ”

"The Hu people are brave, the Han people are cowardly, and they are by nature. It has been like this since the late Tang Dynasty, and it is not just a matter of this dynasty. ”

Xu Ping shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, if the Hu people are brave, the Xiongnu at the time of the Two Han Dynasty were more barbaric than now, how could the Han people at that time be cowardly?" This kind of nonsensical statement, you can say this in one war, it has been like this for hundreds of years, and it is ridiculous to say this. When did the Han people lack martial arts? There is never a shortage of them. ”

I can't blame Li Zhang for having this kind of understanding, and I can't blame this era, in fact, even if a thousand years have passed, there are still many people who think this way in Xu Ping's previous life. The ethnic minorities in the north must be brave and fearless, and the Han regime in the Central Plains must be greedy for life and afraid of death, which has almost become a kind of political correctness. Xu Ping occasionally watched a TV series "Qi Lianxue" in his previous life, which was about Zhao Yuanhao, who was about to move in the northwest at this time. ――At this time, Yuan Hao was still surnamed Zhao, not only surnamed Zhao, but also his name was entered into the royal family of Zhao and Song. - Zhao Yuanhao in the play is wise and martial, if it weren't for the fact that Xixia was a little younger, according to what was said in the play, he could be regarded as a generation of heroes comparable to the Han Wu and Tang Sects. In the past, Xu Ping regretted that he didn't watch this drama well at that time, if he had watched it well in his previous life, wouldn't he know everything about Zhao Yuanhao now? Now that I know a lot more, I'm glad I didn't look good at the time. In fact, Zhao Yuanhao was greedy and tyrannical, not only to the Song Dynasty, but also to all Han Chinese and ethnic minorities in the northwest, including the Dangxiang people of his own race. Zhao Yuanhao in historical records, except for the anti-Song Dynasty, almost all of the rest are the image of an unscrupulous tyrant, and at the end of his life, the whole country was opposed, and even his own son met him with swords. To put it simply, that TV series is all imaginary, and it has nothing to do with historical facts, and you will be deceived to death if you watch it carefully.

Why did the Central Plains Dynasty have the upper hand over the northern ethnic minorities after the late Tang Dynasty? There are many reasons, but there is no such thing as the cowardice of the Han people, and the martial arts of the Hu people. This impression from his previous life used to make Xu Ping very painful, because it was completely different from the facts he had seen. As he stepped from the bottom to the high level, Xu Ping saw more and more, thought more and more, and finally came out of this torturous understanding.
