When Zhang Mai said those words like a cannon, only Zheng Wei had the courage to ask everyone's doubts: "You...... What is your reason for this? ”

"What reason?" Zhang Mai didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "You have been saying that the country should reuse the literati, and the army should be safer if it is handed over to the control of the civil ministers, but I want to ask, why is it safer for the literati to be in charge of the army?" Why should the state trust the literati? And don't believe in the warriors? ”

Without thinking, Wei Renpu replied: "The scribes are familiar with the books of the sages, and they have loyalty and morality in their hearts. is not like a martial artist, vulgar and unliterate, and has no right and wrong. ”

Zhang Mai sneered: "Really? But I've heard: Every time you slaughter more dogs, you are more readers! ”

This sentence from later generations made the corners of Wei Renpu Fan's mouth twitch for a while, and he said in unison: "Slander!" This is slander! ”

"Whether it is slander," Zhang Mai: "If you can find evidence, I will believe you." But I know you can't find proof, just as you can't find evidence that literati are more loyal than warriors. People are people, no matter how martial they are, they can be loyal or rebellious. It is said that when a literati reads the books of the sages, they are loyal and righteous, and this kind of thing ......" he asked Zheng Wei, "Do you believe it?" ”

Zheng Wei didn't answer because he didn't believe it.

Zhang Mai smiled: "You can't answer, because you don't believe it, in fact, I don't believe it either!" All of you here are sensible people, and I guess you don't believe it in your hearts! But why do you want me to choose to trust the scribes instead of the warriors? ”

In the big tent. After calming down, Zhang Mai said: "No one is willing to say the answer?" Still haven't figured it out? Well, let me tell you. You encourage me to believe in the scribes and not in the warriors, not because the literati are more moral, but because ......"

Zhang Mai's eyes kept seeing Lu Jialing and Zheng Wei from Fan Zhen and Wei Renpu in the tent: "It's because you literati don't have the power to rebel!" It's because you're weak! ”

That's a harsh statement! Especially for the literati. But, who can deny this?

Zhang Mai said: "The king can use the literati with confidence, not because of the morality of the literati, but because of the weakness of the literati!" Weak people can do bad things. But it is impossible for the weak to rebel! and rebelled. It's hard to succeed! Chongwen suppresses martial arts, that is, chooses to trust the weak and imprison the strong! This is the truth! ”

Wei Renpu's whole body trembled. Zhang Mai's words. In the words of the Buddhists. It's already "straight to the heart"!

If you say something like this, don't say it, Wei Renpu won't even think about it in his heart! He's really thinking about the country. He was really thinking about his fatherβ€”at least on the surface of his consciousness, he thought so. But in the depths of consciousness?

Perhaps, there is really a real reason why the Confucian scholars refuse to admit it - all the things that are done in the righteousness of the country, but the ultimate point of the benefits is Yijun!

The heart is the selfishness of a surname and a family, and the public of a country and the world is also promoted!

This is the Emperor's Mind Technique!

But the Emperor's Mind Technique can be used, but it can't be said explicitly!

This kind of thing is exposed, what is the use of him Zhang Mai!

Wei Renpu doesn't understand, Wei Renpu doesn't understand!

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Zhang Mai, who had been kneeling and listening to the civil and military debates, suddenly stood up, pulled out a horizontal knife, in the surprise of everyone, walked out of the tent, and came back with an extra battle axe in his hand, Zhang Mai put down the horizontal knife, the battle axe slashed violently, and the blade broke with a choking sound.

Zhang Mai lost his battle axe, picked up the horizontal knife, and stabbed towards Wei Renpu! Frightened, everyone exclaimed in unison!

When Wei Renpu saw Zhang Mai coming to kill him, he didn't even dodge, so he knelt there straight and was stabbed by Zhang Mai!

The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die!

Wei Renpu didn't even have the idea of running away, he was just asking in his heart: Why! What mistake did you make that the Lord wanted to kill you!

Wei Renpu didn't know the answer, and everyone didn't know.

But the knife didn't go in, because the blade had already been cut off!

Zhang Mai said: "Do you understand? ”

Everyone was puzzled, but Guo Wei said: "There is no edge in the horizontal sword, although you can't hurt yourself, but you can't hurt the enemy from now on!" ”

"Yes, there is no blade, although it is safe internally, but it has lost its combat effectiveness externally." Zhang Mai said: "Daoji, your reasoning sounds very good, but there is a biggest trap hidden in it, that is, this kind of plan, in the end, is not for this country, but for me, it's you, it's you, it's us!" ”

These four pronouns are a bit twisted, but if anyone in the tent is not an understanding person, they can naturally understand it.

"I" is Zhang Mai.

"You" is Wei Renpu.

"You" are Wenchen, including Wei Renpu, plus Zhang Mai, which is "we", this Tiance regime.

In the end, all these grand theories that pretend that the state is the world are really for the sake of the regime itself, and if there is a contradiction within the regime, it is based on the interests of the king himself, which is the core of the country.

Zhang Mai said: "Although you have been saying that your proposition is intended to be implemented after the unification of the world, but the army falls into your hands, within three years, it will collapse, the emperor can sit back and relax, but once the horizontal knife is gone, we will become weak, not everyone in the world is willing to always be a vassal to the weak, in the grassland desert, outside the East China Sea and the West, there will be a strong rise that we can't imagine." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Wei Renpu knew that Zhang Mai didn't want to kill him, so he slowly regained his senses, raised his head, and said: "Foreign enemies are like external diseases, but the disaster of martial artists is a big trouble!" If you don't control the military with literature, does the marshal really want to sit back and wait for the Anshi Rebellion to repeat? ”

Zhang Mai said: "I haven't read as many history books as you, but over the years, I have often listened to Fan Zhen talk about historical events. In my opinion, the root cause of the Anshi Rebellion is not in the martial arts! And in the scribes! The root cause of the disaster is not in the excesses of the martial spirit, but precisely after the Tang Dynasty. The decline of the martial spirit of China! ”

Wei Renpu's eyebrows twitched violently: "The root of the Anshi Rebellion, in the scribes? ”

"Yes, in the scribes." Zhang Mai pointed at Fan Zhen and said: "In the history of the Tang Dynasty that Fan Wensu told me in detail, I noticed two things: first, it was Li Linfu who proposed to replace the Han soldiers with Hu soldiers, and second, it was Yang Guozhong who blocked An Lushan's way forward!" ”

Zhang Mai asked Fan Qian: "Why did Li Linfu use Hu Bing?" ”

"This ......" Fan Zhen hesitated for a while before replying: "Because the soldiers of the Han family at that time were no longer able to fight......

"Why is it unbearable?"

"It's because it's been peaceful for a long time. The people do not practice war......"

"That's right! It's because Chengping has been flat for too long. The people don't practice war! Zhang Mai said: "More than a thousand years ago, the most outstanding wise man of our Warring States Period had predicted: foreign invincible foreign patients, the country will perish!" During the time of Tang Xuanzong, the Central Plains was peaceful for a long time. The martial spirit gradually faded. In the end, the Central Plains lost an effective source of soldiers! That's why we had to use Hu people instead of Han people to join the army. As General Guo Wei said just now. When the soldiers on the frontier were all Hu people, a scribe was really sent to lead at that time. Can you take command? Is it an accident that An Lushan is on the top of the mountain! ”

Zhang Mai paused, and said: "I Huaxia civil and military are both divided and combined, since ancient times there are capable warriors, after the establishment of great achievements outside, return to the dynasty often have to worship the prime minister in charge, this is called out for the general, into the phase, this is not only a tradition, but also a kind of normal, the Shang Dynasty's Yi Yin, the Zhou Dynasty's Jiang Shang, the Han Dynasty's Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Zhou Yafu, the Sui Dynasty's Yang Su, the Tang Dynasty's Li Jing, all so. ”

In fact, not only China, but also the "modern times" in Zhang Mai's memory, Eisenhower in the United States and Charles de Gaulle in France were all soldiers who finally took charge of national politics and became presidents.

Zhang Mai said: "So when did the tradition of cutting off the road of the border marshal and cutting off the road to the prime minister's government?" ”

Fan Zhen sighed: "From An Lushan...... In the thirteenth year of Tianbao, Xuanzong wanted to worship An Lushan as the prime minister, Yang Guozhong was afraid of An Lushan, and An Lushan was the opposite, and this matter may be the direct cause......"

Zhang Mai said: "Whether An Lushan is qualified for the post of prime minister, let's not say for the time being, and it cannot be said that after he pays homage to the prime minister, the military disaster in the northeast will definitely be avoided." But if he really leaves the army and enters the Prime Minister's Mansion, the seat under his ass changes, and it is difficult to guarantee that his mind has also changed. There is no if in history, we will not talk about An Lushan for the time being, but we can talk about the ...... in front of us."

Zhang Mai said loudly: "When you talk about Yang Yi, everyone says that he has military power, why didn't any of them let him enter the government and worship the prime minister after he was done?" ”

All the scribes present were dumbfounded, and even Zheng Wei's face was red.

In fact, Zheng Wei may not really be like Yang Guozhong, in order to protect his status and reject Yang Yi, but at this time, the Central Plains has formed an atmosphere of excessive suspicion of military generals, especially those who support troops abroad, and even Zheng Wei is also affected by this after entering the Central Plains.

And in the "history" without Zhang Mai, this tradition has almost been extinct since An Lushan, and the literati of the Song Dynasty can go out to lead the troops, but the warriors want to enter the phase? That's impossible!

Di Qing is known as a generation of famous generals, placed in the Han and Tang Dynasties, he may not lose to Li and Huo, but Han Qi wants to beat him, and if he grabs a reason, he will execute a powerful general, Di Qing came to intercede and said that that person is a good man, and then Han Qi replied: Outside the Donghua Gate, the champion singer is a good man, what kind of good man is he? Then he killed Di Qing's generals. Therefore, Han Zhiwei Qinghuo was able to expel the Huns, Li Jing and Li Tao were able to conquer Mobei, and Di Qing, who couldn't even keep his favorite generals, couldn't level the Western Xia, how could it be accidental!

Another example is Yue Fei, if according to the ancient system, with his meritorious ability, he can also worship the prime minister, but under the system of the Song Dynasty, he only died.

In the long history of Zhang Mai, these things will never be born, but Zhang Mai himself can't help but keep it in mind.

When Fan Zhen and Wei Renpu fell into thought because of Zhang Mai's words, this time Zhang Mai did not give them much time and space to think, he continued: "But the above two points are not the root cause of the chaos of the martial arts. ”

"So, what's the root cause?" Wei Renpu asked eagerly.

Although he was repeatedly shocked today, he was not discouraged because Zhang Mai was not ready to adopt his advice, if Zhang Mai refused to give advice for the sake of poverty and luxury, Wei Renpu would feel disappointed, but Zhang Mai was reasoning with him, and the reasoning was so profound. It was so profound that he couldn't imagine it before, so that Zhang Mai's image in Wei Renpu's heart became unprecedentedly lofty! Even almost sacred!

In his tone, he actually had the mentality of seeking advice, hoping that Zhang Mai could point out his maze.

"As I said just now, the reason why literati are not chaotic is because they have no power, and in the same way, the key to whether military generals are chaotic or not lies not in whether they are loyal or not, not whether they are moral. It's about if they rebel. What are the chances of success! Zhang Mai said: "If there is a high probability of success, people without ambition will also have ambitions, what is the use of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness?" If the likelihood of success is small, ambitious people will become unambitious. If it can't be successful. Then rebellion is tantamount to suicide! ”

"My lord is holy!" Wei Renpu said: "But in addition to suppressing martial arts with literature. Is there any other way to restrain the warriors? ”

"Clamping? Why clamp? Zhang Mai said: "A person's strength is sometimes poor. The strength of the warrior lies in the army he controls, but the army is made up of individual soldiers, and they are not the fingers of the general. Although the nature of a military man is to obey orders. But that's what is said in foreign warfare, when a general wants to turn the butcher's knife inward, the order he gives is to kill in chaos! If the warrior wants the soldiers to obey his chaotic orders, there must be something that is in the interests of the soldiers in order to drive them! Therefore, if the warriors want to incite the soldiers to rebel, there is only one situation that can succeed, and that is: the interests of the country and the interests of the soldiers are diverged. In other words, the interests of this regime and the interests of the soldiers have deviated! ”

"The foundation of the army lies in the soldiers, and the soldiers come from the people. No one is selfish, even the most stupid puppeteer, as long as he is sensible, he knows how to consider his own interests. When the interests of the state are his own, he naturally seeks to defend them, whether actively or passively. If the survival of the country is in the interests of the soldiers, what can a general use to buy thousands of troops? But if the survival of the state has turned against the interests of the soldiers, then why should they work for the country?

"Therefore, my trust in Yang Yi is not because of Yang Yi as a person, but because I am very confident! I know very well that even if Yang Yi wants to rebel in Mobei, no one will follow him, whether it is the Long Xiang Army or the Ying Yang Army! Why? Because these soldiers are doing well under me, their families are doing well, and they will live even better in the future, so what am I worried about? If there is a rebellion, except for a few generals, most of the soldiers of the Longxiang Army and the Eagle Yang Army will gain more than what they have lost. ”

Inside the big tent, there was a sudden silence.

But it's not an eerie stillness, it's a calm serene stillness.

Everyone looked at Zhang Mai in front of them, the Son of Heaven in their minds, and the Ming Jun in their minds! Even, it is the saint in my heart.

This has to be a very upright person to be honest enough to say such a thing.

Yang Dingguo's heart was also suddenly full of peace, at the national meeting, he was in tears after Zhang Mai's generous speech, but after thinking about it carefully, he did not suspect that it was Zhang Mai's deliberate use of power. But at this moment, Yang Dingguo was completely relieved!

He knew that Yang Yi was fine, and he knew that the Yang family was fine!

Zheng Wei, Wei Renpu and Fan Zhen have nothing to say.

Lu Jialing suddenly clasped his hands, he was already vulgar, but at this moment, he seemed to see the universal light of the Buddha, and suddenly felt a boundless light in his heart.

And Cao Yuanzhong was uneasy, like a mouse suddenly exposed to the light, uncomfortable!

An Xianqi was amazed, and Yang Guangyuan was completely subverted, he really couldn't believe that he would meet such a "son of heaven"! With his cognitive limit, he could only sigh: In this world, there is really such a Holy Lord Mingjun!

I don't know when, Yang Guangyuan, An Xianqi and others also knelt down with Wei Renpu Fan Qian.

Even Cao Yuanzhong has the urge to worship Zhang Mai.

Zhang Mai drank violently and said, "Stand up for me!" ”

Wei Renpu and the others stood up in horror.

Zhang Mai said: "The sages have long said that if a country wants to prosper for a long time, it must have enemies and foreign troubles outside, and there must be Legalists and scholars inside. What is a real Legalist Scholar? It can make the interests of the country and the interests of the people consistent, so that everyone in our country can be self-reliant, the soldiers have the heart to serve the country, and the civil and military have the way to progress. And what about you? What an idea for me! It is to replace a group of strong people with a group of weak people! Of course, this can ensure that the generals will not be able to rebel for a period of time, and the people will not be able to rebel, just as Yang Guozhong cut off An Lushan's hope of entering the center in order to keep his position as prime minister, and the emperor fools the people and weakens the people in order to keep his throne, which is all the selfishness of the politicians! How ridiculous it is for the government to have selfish motives and want the people to be selfless!

"Only when the interests of the state are consistent with the interests of the individual can the army be asked to shed blood, but if the government itself is a traitor to the country, and then it is a big joke to ask for the blood to be spilled with the spirit of loyalty and patriotism! If I, Zhang Mai, am such a person, then I, Zhang Mai, should be rebelled! If my descendants become like that, then the people should rise up and overthrow it and change to a new heaven!

"Emperors like to use the weak to govern the people, and use the weak to govern the army, how can the people brought out by weak officials be strong? How can a soldier brought out by a weak military general be brave? But they still preferred to feed the people like sheep rather than let the people grow up to be wolves. The fundamental reason for the loss of the martial spirit lies in the attempt to weaken the people for the sake of the emperor! The imperial sorcerer chooses the weak and suspects the strong, and is ready to turn this suspicion into an institution, and then into an ideological tradition after being institutionalized for hundreds of years, so that the whole nation can no longer raise its head in front of foreigners.

"But this world is as cruel as a jungle, and our nation is surrounded by tigers and wolves, and if you put up a fence around us, do you think you are safe? After all, a fence is just a fence, and it can't stop the real tiger wolf! Our only way out is not to erect a fence, but to turn the people within the four seals into tigers and wolves!

"It is better to feed the people like sheep than to make them like wolves!" make the people like wolves, at most they will eat themselves, and they will replace me in the future; Raising people is like sheep, but they eat fat by themselves, waiting for foreigners to slaughter! In this world full of tigers and wolves! This flowery country, I Zhang Maining to the people, not to the foreigners!

"If you need me Zhang Mai to be the emperor, I don't mind being the emperor, but I, the emperor, do not pursue any eternal unification, what I want to do is to lead everyone to break out of the barriers that restrict our nation, I want to give my people weapons, so that they can have force. Not only will I give them weapons, I will give them force, but I will also give them spiritual strength! Let them know where their interests lie, let them know where the interests of the country are, let them know what they must do for the country, and let them know what the country must do for them!

"At that time, the people and soldiers will naturally make the best choice, and at that time, if anyone wants to overthrow me, and he has the strength, then let him try! I will not pretend to give up the country, but I will allow him to challenge! ”
