Chapter 114: Hidden Worries
"General Du, how did you have the audacity to let the Tubo Iron Horse enter the battle at that time?"
After the war, an officer of the border army asked Lieutenant Du Dang, who had been promoted, to ask for some tips on how to fight the enemy in battle.
"The Tibetan soldiers are good at riding and shooting, and they are skilled in bows and horses, if we can't stop him, let him rush into the formation, do you think these recruits with the forehead can stop it? And in the array, Lao Tzu finally arranged some organs and did some tricks, how could the Tubo soldiers have the calculation of escaping so easily. ”
General Du Dangdu, the right guard, drank the grape wine offered by these high-spirited little poles of the border army before, and said drunkenly in the posture of an old man.
"Then aren't you afraid that these recruits will be afraid of the enemy army, flee from the battle, and disrupt the situation of the war?"
"Afraid, how not afraid. But is there a choice? Resisting a strong enemy with weak soldiers has little chance of winning, how can you resist without spending some brains? Besides, I'm not afraid that these babies will run away, although Datang is big, where can they run? Their home is on the other side of the river, and if they all run away, who will protect their wives for them? They know for whom they are fighting, even if they take a sword and drive them out, and they will not leave."
The person who asked was a young officer, but he didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns in it, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said:
"Fame but it is taken immediately, if these sergeants can make meritorious achievements, they are worthy of such a fight."
Du Dang poured another large glass of amber grape wine, and scolded with a smile:
"Boy, you didn't marry a daughter-in-law, did you?"
"I've already married a concubine."
The little pole hurriedly argued.
Du Dare smiled:
"When you have a baby, you'll know."
Then Du Duwei said quietly:
"One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, these people under the forehead are different from you, some of them were homeless people in the past few years, some of them ran the rivers and lakes to sell solutions, and some of them sold smuggled salt. If you don't understand this, you won't be a good general in your life. ”
"The Tibetan army was defeated. Why don't you chase it? ”
"Chasing, there are so many soldiers raised by the imperial court, why should they chase? The wife and children are hot on the kang, and it is easy to win, and everyone has more land with their military functions, so let the brothers give the credit to others and keep the green mountains for themselves. The general puts the foreheads on the weak side is to treat the foreheads as outcasts, why should he die again if he survives? ”
The young officers of the border army were dumbfounded. As if he had noticed something, Du Dang floated a large cup again, and said with a smile:
"You guys played it up just now, but you didn't say anything. There is a rumor that comes out, but you don't know anything, and you are all responsible for what happened. ”
General Du, who had just said spittle, fell to the ground crookedly on the table in an instant, completely ignoring the fact that a few small poles were already dumbfounded.
In all fairness, even if General Hao Ling can find out the origin of the so-called Tian Ji horse race, it is indeed inevitable that people will speculate that there is an internal reason for treating the soldiers as outcasts. However, General Hao listed the troops on the same first merit as the Guards in the meritorious performance chapter, but he also gained a reputation for being fair. Du Dare Du Du Lieutenant and Guo Fang Guo Du Lieutenant were all promoted to Guoyi under Hao Jue's protection, rewarded the military officials, and the soldiers under their command also had their own rewards, and they did not chill the hearts of the soldiers and soldiers. Under the deliberate actions of the imperial court and local officials, the soldiers led by Du Kang and Guo Fang also had an idol-like charm, attracting countless young people who were interested in military merit to gather in the west and serve the country in the army.
"Hao Jue, Hao Jue, I haven't made a sound for three years, and it's amazing!"
Li Yu closed the battle report and pretended to sigh.
"For such a great achievement, I don't know how to reward it for a while."
said that he didn't know how to reward it, but in fact, he didn't know how much he wanted to reward it. His Majesty the Emperor doesn't like internal fighting, he likes foreign wars, these are all things that the ministers don't know much in their hearts, seeing the emperor say this, who doesn't know what he thinks?
Pei Yan, who was in charge of the military department, said with a smile:
"Your Majesty doesn't know how to reward you in your heart - Lu Xianggong, you can hand over the account of your household."
Everyone laughed together. No matter how much the emperor wanted to reward him, the matter of reward still had to be negotiated by the officials below to come up with a charter and be implemented after completing the procedures of the three provinces. Over the years, the prime ministers have a feeling of being valued, the emperor respects the rules very much, dares to delegate power to the prime minister, and respects the prime ministers both publicly and privately, so that everyone has a sense of getting along with the monarch and the minister. Lu Zhen saw Pei Yan throw the hydrangea to him, so he touched the piece from his sleeve and presented it with both hands:
"Your Majesty, this is the result of the public discussion of the ministers, please take a look at it."
The performance is not perfect, Li Yu knows that this is not because the ministers are not strong, but because the IQ is too high, leaving some mistakes for him, the emperor. Otherwise, the ministers at the cabinet meeting took care of everything, so why keep the emperor as an ornament? Thinking of it, Li Yu felt that he was worthy of the emperor. I also understand how many so-called faint kings in history came about. Like Ming Wuzong, when he ascended the throne, Liu Gongju, Li Gongmou, Xie Gongshan and Kan, the three major pavilion elders took care of the world, you said that Wuzong, an energetic half-grown child, did not raise big cats to pass the boring time, and did not study how to fight, what else could he do?
And the reason why some new monarchs want to purge the former ministers after ascending the throne is here. Think about Gaozong Li Zhi, it was easy to get the credit for the governance of Yonghui and it was counted on his uncle's head, and he was finally emptied by his wife for thousands of miles, is it easy? Gaozong was unwilling to be a puppet of the old ministers, so he purged the old ministers of the family and supported the emerging forces, but as a result, he lost his family and the world. It's not easy for this cheap ancestor to deserve.
Li Yu was a little big for a moment. Being the emperor himself knows his own shortcomings, and can give courtesy to the prime ministers of these elites, give full play to their talents, and the prime ministers can also give great respect to the so-called far-sighted themselves, and actively or passively accept some of their own new ideas. When he goes west by himself, will his cheap son be able to get along with these powerful people?
When the time comes, once the rush to prove that the monarch and the powerful Zaifu have a conflict over the concept of governing the country and the interests of the royal family and the nobles, it will inevitably be another political struggle to the death. Whether it is the victory of the monarchy or the victory of the prime minister, it is not a good thing. A wise emperor can only bring a few decades of clarity, and no matter how wise a prime minister from a family is, he will not put the interests of the country ahead of the interests of the family, otherwise the various feudal towns will not be entrenched for so long. Mingjun is unborn, and good looks are also unborn. Nor will these people care about the lives of the people. In the end, it is still the old saying, Xing, the people suffer, die, the people suffer, and in the end, the desperate people will burn all over China like a prairie fire, and the so-called scholars and royal families will die together. If the country really falls into the hands of these people, the cause that they have worked so hard to create for so many years may be wiped out in a few years.
Li Yu suddenly had the idea of planning for his own foundation.
Maybe it's time to invite Wang Jian, Zhang Ji and other reporters to Nanyuan for a symposium.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Li Zhongyan gently stabbed Li Yu, Li Yu came back to his senses, and saw that the prime ministers from the Pei family, the Li family, the Wu family, and the Lu family were all looking at him, knowing that he was distracted again, he didn't feel a little embarrassed, coughed twice, and said:
"This great victory has greatly boosted the morale of the people, which shows that the decision of the imperial court in recent years has been correct. Seeing Hao Jue's big victory over Tubo, I was very relieved and thought of Qianli Longyou - I have seen this movement, it is very good, and I will use the seal for the discussion of the province under the door. He also asked Lu Xianggong to draft an edict to commend the soldiers. ”
This kind of thing has always been Lu Zhen's patent, and Lu Zhen immediately bowed down and said:
"The minister commands."
Li Yu paused for a moment and said:
"In the past, Taizong once asked the ministers to fight the country, or to govern the country, the age is long, and it is true, the Tang Dynasty still almost lost the country several times. I intend to reopen the feast, whether it is the prince and ministers, the government and the opposition, the people and the businessmen, they can all participate in the discussion, and find a good way to stabilize the country forever, do you think so? ”
This is what the saintly monarchs of all generations have done, how can the prime ministers oppose it? At that time, they praised the emperor with some cheap words, and they each retired and returned to the government hall to handle government affairs.
Li recited Wang Wu, gave a few orders, and Wang Wu took the order.
General Hao Wei won the title of Shangshu of the Criminal Department of the Inspection School, as well as the title of King of Baoding County, the honor of the Duke of Jingguo, and the reward of 500 households. The king of Li Dingjin had just been rewarded not long ago, and the rewards he received were mainly wealth. Gao Biao relied on his real military exploits, and at the age of twenty-six, he was added to the rank of General Zhongwu, the founder of the country, and the captain of the light car, and everyone thought that sooner or later he would be crowned king like Naizu. Qian Xiong and Bili Tieli also became famous in the first war, and entered the Zhongwu general, the founding uncle, and the captain of the light car, while the two captains of the garrison, Guo Fang and Du Dangjia, were the generals of Mingwei under the four products.
In the barracks, Yao Qian held the newly obtained Yilu lieutenant uniform from the seventh rank and wept silently:
"Dad, I've finally cheered up the lintel!"
