"Why is the teacher like this?" Listening to the unbridled laughter upstairs and the man's teasing, the young man was a little uncontrollable, and he had a tendency to go berserk.

"Hehe, we are in the military, in their eyes we are just 'a barefoot athlete', now the government and the opposition are like this, and it is also us who will make trouble!" The old man said with a wry smile, his face full of helplessness.

"Alas, the teacher is also full of wealth, and the palace countermeasures are not satisfied, and the governance of the place is also remarkable, but now he has to suffer from the anger of such people!" The young man sighed, lost his temper, and drank the tea on the table.

"I entered Beijing six times to participate in the imperial examination, but repeatedly failed to make the list, thanks to the importance of the previous phase, entered the court and countermeasures on martial arts, Emperor Mengxian mistakenly loved to play the Jinshi, awarded the right class Dianzhi, a professor of martial arts, and was commissioned to compile the "Seven Books of the Martial Arts", successful, Dr. Feng, but still could not leave the word "Wu"!" At this time, Xiao Er came up to change the dishes, and served the wine, and the old man slowed down.

"Two guest officers, I will serve you two pots of wine, six dishes, sweet and sour carp, red stewed mutton, white chopped chicken, stewed duck, and two vegetarian fake fried meat and gourd soup, and two plates of dim sum and two plates of fruit!" Xiao Er sang loudly.

"Go down, call again if you have something!" Seeing that Xiao Er didn't leave, the young man frowned and took out a string of copper coins and threw them to him, Xiao Er smiled and bowed down.

"Second master, you're here, go up to the second floor!" Xiao Er, who had just gone downstairs, came back and led the three teenagers upstairs, "Second master, there is only one table of guests here who is quite quiet, and a group of scholars on the third floor are having a drinking party, and it is very noisy, it is a small sin to disturb you!" Xiao Er diligently wiped the spotless tables and chairs a few times before inviting them to sit down.

"As long as you can talk, make me a pot of tea first, serve me a few snacks, I'm hungry, I don't want those things that I can see but can't eat!" The young man at the head threw a small silver coat to the second child, glanced at the two people at the next table and said.

"Come on, second master, wait a minute, I'll give you Zhang Luo!" Xiao Er lost his eyes when he laughed and trotted away.

"Oh, I've been riding a horse every day these days, and I've just eaten a full meal for a while, and we're going to have a big meal today!" The boy rubbed his stomach and smiled and sat down in the main seat, while the other two teenagers sat down with him on the left and right.

The young man who came first looked back at the three teenagers at the next table, the young man at the head was dressed in a white power suit, with a gold belt around his waist, and only a turban wrapped around his head, his face was not ugly, but he was tanned, and the other two were not very old, wearing light blue power suits, but with a patent leather belt around their waists, like the entourage of this young man, they seemed to be the sons of a large family traveling with their companions.

It's just a moment, Xiao Er has already returned, holding seven or eight kinds of snacks in his hand, followed by a smiling Bodhisattva-like hotel shopkeeper, carrying a teapot and holding a teacup, "The second master is here, but you won't come for a day, I'm still angry with me, I'm scared that I can't eat well and can't sleep!" The shopkeeper ordered Xiao Er to put a snack, and he poured tea and a hot towel for the young man with his own hands and said.

"Fat Zhang, you fool the ghost, I see that you have gained a few more laps, and you can't eat well and can't sleep!" The boy patted the shopkeeper's stomach and said.

"Second master, today I want to eat dry pork cutlet, Dongpo elbow, what do you want, Zhao Yong?"

"The second master hasn't spoken yet, Zhao Xin, what kind of mouth do you have!" Zhao Yong nodded him and said.

"The second master loves us the most, do you want to eat whatever you want today!" Zhao Xin glanced at him and said.

"Zhao Yong, Zhao Xin is right, whatever you want to eat, don't save me money!" Don't ask this, it's Zhao Ta.

"Okay, then give me a roast chicken, a leg of mutton, and a big fish, barely enough to eat!" Zhao Yong also said politely.

"Can you eat so much?" The shopkeeper looked at the two of them, and then looked at Zhao Ta and said in surprise.

"It's just the two of them, mine hasn't asked for it yet, have you had anything new lately?" Zhao Ta smiled and said that these days there is a lot of exercise, and everyone has become like a rice bucket.

"Second master, we received a freshly hunted wild deer from the prey yesterday, you can try it!" The shopkeeper said.

"Okay, pick a few pieces of good meat and grill them, and bring me a bottle of wine!" Zhao said.

"Second master, you didn't bring wine, I'm not as good as the house, why don't I send someone to the house?" The shopkeeper didn't expect the prince to ask for wine, so he said with a tight face. ,

"Which kid is this, and the wine in his house is actually better than this soju? can see that their language is vulgar, and the dishes they want are only big fish and meat, and there are no fine dishes, so they must not be official eunuchs. The young man listened to a few words of dialogue, ignored them anymore, and instructed Xiao Er to move the aisle screen to stop in the middle, "Didn't the teacher get the recommendation of Bachelor Su and change his official qualifications?" The young man asked the old man again.

"Hehe, my article was indeed praised by Mr. Su, he thought that I was not able to fulfill my military position, and I sponsored it twice, but I only added a Chengfeng Lang San official title, and I still held a military position. Later, he was sentenced to Cangzhou, compensated the exiled people, first transferred me to Beijing as an official, and reappointed as Sinong Temple, but he still took martial arts as his position! The old man took a glass of wine and said.

"Alas, the difference between civil and military is like a mountain stream, I am in the shade, conferred loyalty and training, and also entered the martial arts, every day is just a mess, and I have to be affected by these people's birds, it is really better to study and advance!" The young man sighed as he listened to the old man's story.

"It's easy to enter martial arts with literature, and it's difficult to enter literature with martial arts! In the Qingli, Fan Zhongyan and Wenchen Han Qi, Pang Ji and Wang Yan jointly presided over the Shaanxi war against Xia, and the Song Central Committee ordered the four commanders to change the military positions of the observer envoys. The old man drank another glass of wine and said, his face was already full of loneliness.

"Paying equal attention to civil and military affairs, this is political common sense in Chinese history, I didn't expect the Song Dynasty to be biased to such a degree!" Zhao Ta held a piece of meat and listened to the conversation between the two while eating, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, even He Qufei, who is known for his military strategy, and who is the author of military books such as "Dr. He's Preparations", "Sima Fa Lectures" and "Three Strategic Lectures", his greatest wish is not to follow the example of Sun Bin, Li Jing and other military strategists of the previous generation, but to diligently change his military status to a civil minister. It can be seen that although he tried his best to overestimate the Song Dynasty's 'anti-military' policy, he didn't expect it to be low, and it was terrifyingly low.

'One piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and military affairs', Tang Taizong clearly pointed out as early as in "Emperor Fan" that "Si and the two are handed for national use." If the long breath is long, success or failure depends on the edge, the huge waves are monstrous, and the rise and fall are decisive for a while. And Haiyue is both Yan, the dust has been cleared, the aftermath of the seven virtues, the greatness of the nine gongs, at this time, the light armor, and the heavy poetry. It is impossible to give up the two ways of knowing the civil and military. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Samurai and Confucianism can be abolished. ”

Since the pre-Qin period, Wenchen and military generals have played two important roles in the reign of successive dynasties, each with its own responsibility. The elite of the ruling group is often attracted to the military, and a large number of outstanding military strategists with the art of governing the country have emerged.

What Zhao Tan didn't understand was that after the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, compared with the past, the status and quality of the military generals began to change significantly. Both the government and the opposition regarded the military as the root cause of the turmoil, and established the political principle of guarding against military generals in every possible way against the background of strengthening the absolute monarchy and centralizing power. At the same time, under the domination of the idea of "sharing the world with scholars and doctors", the rapid development of the imperial examination system and the increasingly prominent status of the imperial examination system not only made the ranks of civil officials continue to expand, but also became the goal pursued by the people of the world. This cannot but seriously corrode the appeal of "military merit." As a result, outstanding talents are no longer willing to step into the military camp, and Wenchen is even more reluctant to change his military position.

By the time of Song Renzong, the trend of "emphasizing literature over military force" had reached its peak, and military exploits were generally despised by society. The Song people have this view on this: "The champion ascended to the top, although the generals were hundreds of thousands, restored the thistle, chased the strong enemy to the desert, triumphantly returned, and dedicated the Jietai Temple, its glory was also unattainable." In this context, Wenchen completely controlled the command of the army, and the military generals were reduced to supporting roles in the command system. There were very few military generals in the Privy Council, and the local garrisons were basically commanded by civilian officials.

……

"Teacher, we've been here for a long time, what do you think of this!" Maybe it was the topic of Wengui and Wuqing that made the two of them sad too much, and the young man changed the topic.

"From what I have seen and felt in the past few days, what that man said is indeed true!" The old man sighed, "I had passed by boat in my early years, here is just a deserted village, a depression, now it is a gathering of merchants, workshops are everywhere, what is more valuable is that here to build dams and canals to divert water, irrigation of 10,000 acres of fertile land, is beneficial to the people, and the people here are simple, the people are rich and harmonious, live and work in peace and contentment, compared to the capital, it is really a paradise place, as the people here say it is true, that Prince Yan has the talent to govern the world!" ”

"Teacher, I see that everyone here is still martial, you see that their club is well-trained, even the forbidden army is probably nothing more than that, and he can have his own personal guards of more than 50 people to exterminate the 'gust of wind' with a trick, more than 200 people killed no one left, the means can be described as ruthless, I am not as good as sighing!" The young man said with a wry smile.

"In this battle, he first used the strategy of 'Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang', evacuated the horse farm, mobilized the community to defend and not attack, so that the bandits thought that he was cowardly and underestimated the enemy. At this time, he used the 'strategy of stealing beams for pillars' to poison the bandits' horses, not only making the bandits lose the ability to move quickly and making them panic, but he also led his guards to take advantage of the bandits' chaos to launch a surprise attack. The old man commented on Zhao Ta's battle against bandits.

"Listening to the teacher's comments, he still has the talent to command the army!" The young man laughed.

"Gao Pet, it's a pity that he was born in the emperor's family, otherwise in less than ten years, I will have one more Wen Neng Anbang and a good talent who can set the country!" The old man said with some regret.

"High pet?!" Zhao Tan, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, was taken aback, and suddenly something more in his mind, he would not be the one mentioned in "The Biography of Yue Quan", 'sacrifice his life for the country and go to the battlefield, Dan's heart can win glory every day.' The pulley was broken at the end of the body and lost first, but unfortunately the general horse was bad! 'High favorite, right?
