Chapter Thirty-Four: Xiao Qu's Illness and Resistance to the Will
There are far more things that make Wang Ji lament, except for the content of his and Li Linfu's false accusations, except for being a secret agent with Li Heng for a long time, Xiao Qubing admitted all the other contents, but at the same time said that he was absolutely selfless, and just wanted to train an invincible army of the Son of Heaven for His Majesty earlier.
Then there are a lot of theories about his military training, saying that if he trains his troops like this, the soldiers he trains will only be loyal to the emperor alone. And said that his training was just an experiment, and his master had a better way, so that Wang Ji lamented far more than this, for the content of his and Li Linfu's false accusations, except for the secret agent with Li Heng for a long time, Xiao Qubing admitted all the other contents, but at the same time said that he was not selfish, he just wanted to train an invincible army of the Son of Heaven for His Majesty earlier.
Then there are a lot of theories about his military training, saying that if he trains his troops like this, the soldiers he trains will only be loyal to the emperor alone. He also said that his training was just an experiment, and that his master had a better way, which was to establish a martial arts school or what he said, and the emperor would be the mountain chief (principal). In this way, not only can a well-trained elite soldier come out with a hundred victories, but also these students who graduated from the martial arts (military academy) can also play the role of supervising the generals in the army after they are put into the army, similar to Wuli Sima in the early Tang Dynasty and the current lieutenant envoy in the supervising army.
Because the emperor is the principal of martial arts, these students are all protégés of the Son of Heaven, so they are naturally only loyal to the emperor, and they can be supplemented by loyal education during ordinary training, so as to ensure that the vast majority of students who graduate from martial arts have a heart of loyalty to the country. If the lord is disloyal or wants to rebel, the middle and low-ranking officers of these protégés can lead troops to capture or oppose. Or in other words, with these people, the Lord will not dare to oppose even if he has a rebellion!
It is like using Confucianism and the imperial examination to make all the scholars in the world loyal and patriotic and serve the imperial court; The existence of martial arts is to make all the soldiers in the world loyal to the emperor and guard the border for the country.
In addition, because of systematic study and training, thousands of first-class grassroots and middle-level generals can be trained for the Datang army, and within six years, Datang will be able to use martial arts as the grassroots level to have more than ten invincible strong armies; In less than ten years, these armies will be able to sweep away all the unsubsalized foreign enemies around the Tang Dynasty for His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Khan...... In the end, Xiao Quzhi kept saying that he was doing this now, and every night he talked to these soldiers about loyalty and righteousness, loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and loyalty to the country......
“…… If Your Majesty thinks that the minister is selfish and has doubts about the minister, you can randomly select dozens of Flying Dragon Forbidden Army and newly recruited rangers to ask them one by one, and you will know how Wei Chen usually teaches them! ”
Xiao Qu was sick and talked eloquently, his expression was bright, and his eyes shone brightly, obviously he had thought about this matter in his heart for a long time, and now he said it completely from the heart.
All of you here are top elites, extremely smart people, as soon as Xiao Quai's suggestion was said, everyone suddenly brightened up after thinking about it, thinking that this was indeed a good way.
Before the Tang Dynasty, many measures were adopted to prevent the generals from rebelling, such as the method of the sixteen guards and soldiers taking turns to garrison the palace during the government military system; Another example is the disintegration of the government military system and the change to the conscription system, and the frontier festival envoy is not full-time; Another example is the method of sending eunuchs to supervise the army later.
But none of these methods can fundamentally solve the problem, such as sending a eunuch to supervise the army, and people really want to kill the eunuch, and the eunuch is easy to deceive if he doesn't understand military affairs. But Xiao Quai's method solves this problem once and for all, if all the middle and low-level officers in an army are loyal to the emperor, the generals of the unified army will not be able to rebel at all!
After listening to Xiao Quai's words, Yang Guozhong vigorously said that this policy was good, although he didn't really understand it; Li Longji also nodded slightly, thinking that this method was good; Gao Lishi's eyes lit up even more, he had actually been worried that An Lushan would rebel, but he couldn't stop it, and now Xiao Quzhi said such a good way, which was naturally greatly appreciated.
"Your Majesty, the old slave also thinks that this method is feasible, which can not only train elite soldiers, but also ensure that the army will always end up in Your Majesty. If this is the case, the Tang Frontier can be determined, and His Majesty can be worry-free. ”
Wang Ji is losing his soul, how can he care if he is good or not. Li Linfu is smart and almost proficient, of course he knows that this is an excellent policy, but he must oppose it! Because he is extremely selfish. In order to keep his position, he proposed to Li Longji to reuse the illiterate Hu generals, of course he knew that this was not good for the country, but the illiterate generals could not enter Beijing to be the prime minister, which was beneficial to him!
Similarly, Xiao Quai's method is beneficial to the country but not good for him, and he and Xiao Qubing are mortal enemies now, so Li Linfu resolutely opposes it. However, they were not prepared for this matter before, and they didn't know much about the theory in this area, plus this matter was originally only beneficial and harmless, how could he say that Xiao Quai.
So Li Linfu objected a few words and was dumbfounded by Xiao Quai, and his repeater Chen Xilie didn't help him. Wang Ji on the side was in a hurry, and he was dripping blood in his heart when he was lamenting that Xiao Qu was sick and was about to pass the test unscathed. Li Linfu, who was already an old man, reacted immediately, Xiao Quai's illness was a divergence from the topic, and he was talking about him.
So Li Linfu didn't bother to argue with Xiao Quzhi anymore, and redirected the topic to Li Qi, Li Heng and Ma Sui. At this time, Li Longji was already fully convinced that Xiao Quzhi did not have other intentions to win people's hearts, but was loyal to the king's affairs and enthusiastic.
But Li Linfu's words before still had a deep suspicion in his heart, and he felt that Xiao Quzhi was too capable. You see, in the river, because of his appearance, in just two months, he made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty; And with such a good background, with the aura of an immortal disciple, and such affinity and prestige, he subdued the military heart of the two thousand Flying Dragon Forbidden Army in just ten days. It's really uneasy for him to show off in the forest like this, plus there is a relationship between him and the crown prince, what if he suddenly falls to the prince and supports the prince to ascend the throne?
Li Longji was drunk and dreamed of dying in his later years, ignoring the government, but for the stability of the throne, he also used some scheming. For example, the reason why he was relieved of Li Linfu was that he knew that Li Linfu was jealous and could offend many people, and he had to rely on the emperor to survive; For example, the reason why he cultivated Yang Guozhong to replace Li Linfu was because he felt that Yang Guozhong had no ability, no prestige, and would not pose a threat to him.
But Xiao Qubing is completely different, he is too capable, all kinds of whimsical ideas emerge one after another, and he is too prestigious, and it is evident that he has packed up the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army in just over ten days. This alone made Li Longji feel very unsteady, and Xiao Quzhi was still Li Qi's master, so he had a relationship with the prince. This made Li Longji even more uneasy, and he didn't think about it before agreeing.
The auxiliary minister said that he did not have a deep discussion with the prince and believed it, but ......" After a long pause, Li Longji said with some embarrassment on his face: "But in order to avoid anyone talking about this matter in the future, the auxiliary minister might as well cut off this relationship with King Jianning." In this way, even if anyone slanders you, there will be no excuse. ”
Li Longji's words have been made very clear, I believe your words, and agree that Li Linfu and Wang Ji are slandering you, you also give me face, and cut off the master-apprentice relationship with King Jianning, or I am very unrealistic.
He said it so bluntly, Li Linfu and Wang Ji on the side instantly looked ugly, like a dead father. Wang Ji hated it in his heart, His Majesty was so partial to help Xiao Qu's illness, even this crime couldn't shake him in the slightest, it seems that it will be difficult to bring down Xiao Qu's illness in the future, and today's revenge is very difficult to revenge!
Yang Guozhong immediately smiled, after the last incident, he had reached a political alliance with Xiao Quzhi, and Xiao Quzhi said that he would help him defeat Li Linfu and Wang Jiao within half a year. Your Majesty just said this, today is another big victory, it seems that it will not take half a year to step on the two of them!
Gao Lishi was a little nervous, and he didn't know how Xiao Qubing would choose, but subconsciously he was worried that Xiao Qubing would refuse, and in this way, it would be bad.
Among all the people, Chen Xilie is the most relaxed, and he said in his heart that it is about birds, you fight yours, and I will lean towards whichever side has the advantage.
Completely different from what Li Longji expected, Xiao Quzhi said with a puzzled expression: "Thank you Your Majesty for your trust." But since His Majesty trusts the minister, why should the minister care about other people's slanderous words? Through the contact of the past few days, the minister found that Xiao Qi's heart is very similar to the minister, the same straightforwardness, the same integrity and strength (Xiao Quai's illness has a lot more scheming than Li Qi), and the minister found that Xiao Qi's qualifications are wonderful, and his heart is pure, which can be regarded as a one-in-a-million martial arts wizard, and is the best mantle of the minister. ”
After a pause, Xiao Qu said with a serious face: "Your Majesty understands Xiao Qi, when what the governor said is true, Your Majesty can also invite Mr. Zongxuan and Louguan Xiao to ask." Therefore, the minister did not want to sever the master-apprentice relationship with King Jianning. ”
Xiao Qu was sick and bowed again: "If Your Majesty thinks that this will make people with ulterior motives have the truth to slander me, the minister is willing to resign from all military positions and no longer serve as the instructor of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army, so that the rumors will naturally be dispelled."
As soon as Xiao Quai's words came out, Li Linfu and Wang Ji were so happy that they couldn't believe their ears. Xiao Qu's illness is not stupid, this is obviously the emperor's intention, but Xiao Qu's illness disobeyed the emperor's wishes, and he was willing to dismiss all military positions rather than sever the master-apprentice relationship with King Jianning.
Apprentice, just find another one, even if Li Qi is really so good, if you can't find someone like Li Qi, it's always no problem to find a few slightly worse. Is this Xiao Qubing stupid, haha finally found a weakness of Xiao Quai!
On the other side, Yang Guozhong was also incredulous, his eyes widened and he looked at Xiao Qu's illness in a daze, and he really wanted to run over and wake him up. Hey, you promised to bring down Li Linfu and Wang Ji with me. If you disobey the holy will like this, and make Your Majesty unhappy and make him suspicious, isn't this the pleasure of the relatives and the enemies? Can you still work together happily?
Gao Lishi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although he had a premonition, he still felt that it was a pity, why was this kid so upright? I saw that he was quite scheming before, and he knew how to be flexible, huh? Why do you want to go against Your Majesty?
Li Longji agreed and couldn't believe that this Xiao Qubing dared to disobey his will! How dare he disagree! For the sake of a Li Qi, he turned his back on me?
