Chapter 171: Di Qing's Butterfly in Defense

"What are you laughing at?" Di Shi and Chen Ke didn't have much friendship, and when he saw that he was so disrespectful to his father, he was naturally displeased.

"I laugh at Marshal Wise I, confused for a while!" Chen Ke didn't look at him, only stared at Di Qingdao.

"Presumptuous!" Di Zhi reprimanded Chen Kedao.

"Shut up." Di Qing glanced at Di Qing and said, "You all go out." ”

"Yes, father......" Di Shi hung his head depressedly and went down with Di Yong.

"San Lang, you say, where am I confused?" When there were only the two of them left in the house, Di Qing asked Chen Kedao.

"I know that it is Wen Yanbo who wants to harm you." Chen Ke sneered: "If you still have to believe his nonsense, aren't you still confused?" ”

"What?" Di Qing said in disbelief: "I have no grievances with Wen Xianggong in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, how can he harm me?" ”

"Alas......" Chen Ke finally understood why Di Qing was killed by Wen Yanbo so easily...... In his opinion, this invincible general on the battlefield can't even reach a passing grade in politics.

However, Chen Ke is harshly criticizing the ancients, you must know that except for him and the future lawless and unscrupulous minister, no one can transcend the era in which he lives, and Di Qing is naturally no exception.

Before the Song Dynasty, the status of military generals has always been above the civilian officials, they are ambitious, actively participate in politics, and often even kill the emperor, history has always been controlled by them. However, the Song Dynasty summed up the lessons of the change of the five dynasties, and Zhao Kuangyin was not righteous, so in order to prevent anyone from following suit, he began to take strict precautions against military generals. But because Zhao Kuangyin himself is the first soldier, he can still balance the civil and military, so that the civil and military generals can perform their duties.

But by the time of Taizong, the situation had deteriorated completely. Because Zhao Guangyi killed his brother and usurped the throne, and he was isolated from the army by Zhao Kuangyin before he became the emperor, he regarded guarding against those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals left by Taizu as the top priority related to the safety of the throne. Although the general is still mainly responsible for the requisition and garrison defense, and the proportion of soldiers in the Privy Council continues to be high, the selection of personnel has completely changed.

For example, the second privy councillor, the three generals and the front-line commanders, most of them were incompetent cronies of Song Taizong. Wang Xian, Chai Yuxi, Zhang Xun, Yang Shouyi, etc., all of whom were subordinate officials of the former feudal mansions and were called military attachΓ©s, but almost had no battlefield experience. The only reason they were able to command the military was that they were loyal and reliable. In fact, most of them are mediocre people, even if they have 100,000 soldiers, they are also afraid of battle, and even greedy and sinister, and they are able to meet the attack.

The founding generals represented by Cao Bin and Pan Mei, in order to avoid high merit and shocking the master, could only obey Taizong's words, and even knew that the holy decree was absurd, he did not dare to disobey, but the death of the soldier was self-sufficient...... Yongxi's Northern Expedition was defeated like this, and Yang Ye also died like this.

As for those generals who had no political acumen and still fought bravely to be the first, such as Guo Jin, Yang Ye, and Hu Yanzan, they all either died tragically or were deposed, and they all fell into a miserable situation.

Under the background of Zhao Guangyi's efforts to suppress the generals, the generals formed the characteristics of following the rules and bowing their heads from their bones. In the third year of Taizong's peaceful rejuvenation of the country, Li Feixiong, the son of Li Ruoyu, the judge of Qinzhou Jiedu, falsely claimed to be a border patrol envoy sent by the Son of Heaven, took a few followers, and traveled all the way west to Qinzhou. In the face of Li Feixiong, who did not hold any certificates, the local generals bowed their heads and listened to their ears, and were willing to be bound and punished, but he was alone and seized control of the army.

This incident is enough to reflect the subservience and taming of the military ministers, and their due strong qualities can be said to be gone, and Di Qing, even if he is a genius, cannot get rid of this kind of conformity in his bones, so even if it is an unofficial prime minister's command, his first reaction is to accept it, not to question it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fortunately, Chen Ke's butterfly appeared, and he sighed and said: "Hatred, you don't have to be in person, your existence is an offense to him." People often compare the marshal with him, when the city of Beizhou was recovered, Wen Yanbo became the prime minister, what do you compare with the marshal to pacify the entire south? Deceive the world and steal the name, not worthy of the name! As long as the marshal was there, he was uncomfortable. ”

"Ugh." At this time, Di Qing also helped Wen Yanbo speak: "The prime minister can support the boat in his belly, how can he be so small?" ”

"Does the marshal know?" Chen Ke said quietly: "After you called the saint in front of him, he once had a confrontation with the official family? ”

"Yes."

"What about the right content?"

"Where does the minister know?" Di Qing shook his head and said. disdainful or unable to play those ghost moth tricks is why he was applauded by Wen Yanbo.

Chen Ke put the "Di Qing is a loyal minister." "Isn't Taizu a loyal minister of Zhou Shizong? , Tell Di Qing to listen.

Di Qing was horrified when he heard this. The prime minister of a country, in this way, actually knows the inside story about himself, which is pitiful and pathetic, but it can also be taught",... Those gentlemen keep saying that they want to be righteous and bright, is it true that they are snooping on the forbidden things in the palace? It's a pity that in this world, truly upright people are always the most vulnerable.

"What is the attitude of the officials?" After being silent for a long time, Di Qing looked at Chen Ke.

"The officials didn't listen to Wen Yanbo's nonsense, but there are too many people who impeach you, and eighty percent will let you leave Beijing to calm down the turmoil." Chen Ke said firmly.

"Why?" Di Qing was puzzled.

"Throughout the Qingli New Deal, the ruling grace of the official family is that more things are better than less things, and less things are better than nothing." Chen Ke decomposed for him: "If the official family finds out that your existence will stab the civil official group and continue to make trouble, he will inevitably be inclined to wronged you alone in order to appease the entire civil official class, rather than opposing the civil official group that is so large that it is already holding the emperor hostage." ”

"Let Saburo say so." After Di Qing listened, he said with a depressed expression: "I should still resign from the acquaintance to relieve the king's worries...

"I've been talking about my feelings for a long time." Chen Ke sneered and said, "The marshal has gone back on his word, which is really disappointing. Last month, I advised you to take the initiative to resign, what did you say? said that you want to set an example for the world's cheapest children, so you have to persevere to the end. At that time, the chiseled words are still in my ears, why are you going to resign again? ”

"I originally only said that no matter what, the officials will support me." Di Qing blushed and said, "Who knows, I have become a trouble for the official family." ”

"Could it be that on the battlefield, the marshal will also be timid before fighting?" Chen Ke said: "When you find that the enemy is too strong, you leave your soldiers and run away?" ”

"Of course not!" Di Qing seemed to be hurt by his self-esteem, and said loudly: "I, Di Hanchen, have been fighting horses for half my life, and I have never abandoned my subordinates!" ”

"Now, if you're a deserter." Chen Keji moved and said: "Those generations who are inspired and inspired by you will all lose their ideals, lose their goals, lose their hope in life, and become the saddest abandonment!" ”

His words, like a morning bell, shook Di Qing's lungs, and stripped away all the worries, fears, frustrations, and frustrations attached to his heart. Di Qing was in a trance for a long time, and let out a long breath of turbidity: "If there is no San Lang's bitter persuasion, Di Qing will make a few mistakes!" ”

Seeing that Di Qing finally got rid of the defeat mood, Chen Ke's tone also softened, and said with a smile: "The authorities are confused, and the spectators are clear." ”

"Saburo is humble." Di Qing finally pulled himself together and reconsidered his situation and said, "What should I do now? ”

"Without it, it will not change to meet all changes." Chen Ke said with a smile: "The marshal has no merit, if you don't take the initiative to resign, no one can do anything." ”

"Is it not possible to die?" Di Qing smiled bitterly, people live with a face, trees live with a skin, he doesn't want people to poke his backbone, scolding him for being an official fan.

"The way of officialdom in advance and retreat is very knowledgeable." Chen Ke said softly: "The marshal is familiar with the art of war, why don't you use it in the management of officialdom?" Now the marshal is looking at the situation of the enemy and us as a war, you see, how should we deal with it? ”

"Is that okay?" Returning to the bank, Di Qing immediately entered the state and said: "If it is compared to war, I am now alone in the depths, there are no reinforcements behind, the enemy is outnumbered, and I am powerless to fight back."

"What should I do?" Chen Ke asked in a deep voice.

"At this time, we should avoid meaningless sacrifices, quickly withdraw from the front line, open up backups, stabilize the position, and then make other plans." Di Qing said strangely: "So, I still want to leave Beijing?" ”

"You can't leave Beijing." Chen Ke shook his head and said, "After leaving the capital, those people have a hundred ways to make you die in vain." ”

"So what?"

"I won't leave Beijing if I leave my job." Chen Ke said in a deep voice: "To put it bluntly, Wen Yanbo is in such a hurry to drive you down, there is a deeper purpose, which is to make Han Qi a privy envoy, and use this as a condition to unite him against Jia Chang and Jia Xianggong." So Wen Yanbo needs this position, and Han Qi also needs it. Anyway, this puppet-like privy envoy has no taste in front of him, so the marshal simply gave up this position, but he has to put forward conditions......"

"Conditions? Do you not leave Beijing when you leave your job? Di Qing smiled bitterly: "I am already a privy envoy, and if I move in the Beijing officials, I can only be the prime minister...... This is obviously impossible.

"If you don't have a seat, you can create a seat." Chen Ke said whimsically: "How about the marshal to teach and educate people?" ”

"Hey......" Di Qing was full of anticipation, thinking that he could have a good idea, and said with a wry smile: "San Lang said that I am joking, I am a martial artist, will I not mistake people's children?" ”

"Is it only the literati who need to be educated?" Chen Ke said leisurely: "Don't martial artists need it? ”
