Chapter 16: Ling Guang's Stratagem
Hearing Ling Guang's unexpected proposal, all the civil and military officials in the hall closed their mouths in unison, and quietly fixed their eyes on Prime Minister Ling Guang...... Seemingly boring advice?
The elite children of the major families? The so-called elite children, aren't they the young masters and young ladies of the major families? Let me ask, how many of the young masters and young ladies who grew up under the protection of the major families have been on the real battlefield and have really been tempered with iron and blood? If it is said that let this group of pampered young masters and young ladies go to clean up the battlefield and pick up their battle exploits, then it is no problem, and they can be used as reinforcements to directly confront the most elite iron cavalry army of the Yuan and Mongolian Empire...... Isn't that a bit of a joke?
"Ling Qing's family, is it ...... Can you say it clearly?" Li Haohan said thoughtfully to Ling Guang.
Ling **** said, immediately smiled and nodded, first saluted Li Haohan, and then turned sideways, glanced at the civil and military officials in the hall, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, colleagues, our Tang Empire is strong, and the major families in the empire are even more powerful...... So, the old man dares to ask all his colleagues here, if you send your children to the front line of Yumen Pass to fight against the Yuanmeng Iron Cavalry, you will do this?"
In the face of Ling Guang's question, Chen Shang, the secretary of the military department, was the first to stand up and replied without thinking: "Of course, all the good hands in the family are sent to the child's side......
Speaking of this, Chen Shang closed his mouth with interest, not only Chen Shang, but all the civil and military forces in the hall suddenly realized, and it was only at this time that everyone understood Ling Guang's true meaning!
If all the young masters and young ladies of these big families are sent to the front line, then the hidden masters of the major families will definitely be sent by the heads of the families to ensure the safety of the young masters and young ladies, after all, those young masters and young ladies have not been on the real battlefield, let alone have not undergone the test of iron and blood, they can be called inexperienced recruit eggs, and they are even inferior to recruit eggs, because this group of young masters and eldest ladies are all pampered masters since childhood, and because of this, as long as this group of little guys step on the battlefield, the major families are bound to attack with all their strength to ensure that all the young mastersWhile the ladies were safe, it also enhanced the prestige and strength of the reinforcements...... To think about it another way, Ling Guang's plan also forced the pampered young masters and young ladies to contact and participate in the war, which was also to invisibly train the next generation for the Tang Empire and the major families, which was really a plan to kill two birds with one stone!
However, Ling Guang still had the next sentence to say, but at this time, there was no need for Ling Guang to explain too much, who could stand in the palace of the Tang Empire, which official was not the master of scheming? If he couldn't even guess Ling Guang's next thoughts, then there was really no need to mix in this political arena!
And Ling Guang's so-called afterwords led to the next question, gilding! That's right, it's a battle exploit in vain!
What the Tang Empire needs at this moment is the private soldiers and masters of the major families with strong combat effectiveness, could it be that Li Haohan and Ling Guang really have a cramp in their heads, and send a group of gentlemen to fight the Yuanmeng Iron Cavalry? Sending those little guys is just an introduction, is it really to let that group of children of the family pick up their swords and rush to the battlefield? Just kidding! At that time, whether it is Li Undefeated or Ning Jiuxiao, they will resolutely choose to put the group of eldest young masters and eldest ladies in the safest position on the battlefield, and occasionally encounter the enemy's stragglers, they will send this group of little guys out to experience the feeling of the battlefield a little, and Ling Guang's real purpose is to borrow the private soldiers and masters of the major families, of course, the Tang Empire will also pay the corresponding price, such as war exploits!
As we all know, Yuanmeng Helian and Li Tang are a pair of opponents who are on an equal footing, and Helian Invincible and Ning Jiuxiao are a pair of old enemies, if the reinforcements and regular troops of the Tang Empire are merged together, this war with the Yuanmeng Empire will basically not have much to win or lose, after all, the strength of the two sides is equal, and if they continue to fight, the final outcome can only be a situation where both sides lose, I believe that after killing each other for a few battles, the commanders of both sides will definitely choose to strike at the same time, so ...... When this is over, that is, when the war merits are divided, it is time for the young masters and young ladies of the major families to appear, that's right, use the war exploits to appease the losses of the major families in this war!
I believe that every head of the family will choose to approve of the military exploits of the children of the major families in exchange for the lives of their subordinates, and this is also an unwritten rule of the Tang Empire in the past dynasties, and it is also the fastest way to be promoted.
A hint has involved so many later words, and the relationship between the Tang Empire is really complicated!
After everyone in the hall figured it out, they all agreed with Ling Guang's proposal, this is a rare opportunity to pave the way for the next generation! Of course, Li Haohan, the emperor of the Tang Empire, also agreed with Ling Guang's point of view, but Li Haohan's gaze at Ling Guang was not only a hint of approval, but also a faint hint of vigilance!
Because Ling Guang had already guessed Li Haohan's heart!
In fact, Li Haohan agrees with Ling Guang's proposal and has another meaning...... The Tang Empire and the Yuanmeng Empire have been fighting all year round, and in every war, the military strength of the royal family will be invisibly reduced...... I really can't guarantee that any big family can't help but want to rebel, such as Ning Jiuxiao, Bai Wuji, Zhao Xuanfeng, Chen Shang and others who hold military power!
The question arises again, how can a minister who can guess the emperor's mind be carelessly guarded? But then again, Ling Guang has invisibly done Li Haohan a favor, and then asks, how can the emperor be willing to kill a minister who will cater to the holy will?
Li Haohan is a little contradictory!
Finally, after a series of consultations between civil and military officials, Li Haohan issued the final holy decree: all the major families in the imperial capital city should send their direct family disciples, at least one, and more unlimited, and then followed the undefeated prince Li Undefeated to attack Yumen Pass, galloping to aid Ning Jiuxiao and Bai Wuji's army, ten days later, the army officially set off to conquer Yumen Pass!
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the civil and military officials gathered together in twos and threes, chatting, and slowly walked towards the outside of the palace, at this time, Chen Shang, the secretary of the military department, silently followed the footsteps of Prime Minister Ling Guang......
When Chen Shang was still half a body distance away from Ling Guang, he suddenly slowed down and deliberately let Ling Guang walk in front, and immediately, Chen Shang lowered his voice and whispered to Ling Guang with words that were only enough for him and Ling Guang to hear clearly: "Prime Minister, just above the court, the Lord seems to be a little too wise, right?"
Hearing the question in Chen Shang's words, Ling Guang couldn't help but smile, and then listened to Ling Guang say without answering: "Chen Shangshu seems to be too careful, right?"
"Maybe, right?" Chen Shang also replied with an inexplicable sentence.
"If you are too mediocre, you will never get ahead, if you are too smart, you will easily invite the disaster of killing, the so-called balance is the way in politics...... Can Chen Shangshu understand?" Ling Guang seemed to answer, but he didn't answer.
After saying that, Ling Guang quietly quickened his pace, and gradually widened the distance between him and Chen Shang, leaving only Chen Shang, who was gradually slowing down and seemed to be thoughtful......
The imperial capital of the Tang Empire, Bai Yu's small courtyard, in the backyard.
The scorching sun at noon exudes a vicious brilliance, wantonly ravaging the earth, in Bai Yu's backyard, Bai Yu still adheres to the cultivation plan formulated by Xiao Jue for him, after Bai Yu's unremitting efforts, whether it is Xuan Qi or physical strength, compared to the beginning, Bai Yu has improved a lot, and at this moment, the bluestone slab behind Bai Yu has increased its weight, from the small bluestone slab at the beginning, to the large bluestone slab now, it seems that the cultivation routine formulated by Xiao Jue for Bai Yu is really quite effective!
"Boss Xiao, Boss Xiao, we've been carrying the slate for a long time, can we change some routines?" Bai Yu's whole body was filled with a pure red light, and while carrying a huge bluestone slab all over the yard, he was extremely depressed to transmit the sound to Xiao Jue in the Soul Mansion.
"Change the routine?" Xiao Jue snorted coldly, and replied angrily: "You want to run before you learn to walk?"
"That's not what it means, you see, carrying a bluestone slab all day long, either running or running, it's not a way, just like the last time Ning Xiang'er's little girl came to find trouble, you see that I was beaten by her and didn't even have the strength to fight back, but I lack actual combat experience and excellent martial arts moves, right? You don't want your only heir, that is, me, to lose your face, right?"
Bai Yu shamelessly defended, to put it bluntly, this guy has practiced a little enough, but then again, let a gangster carry an extremely heavy bluestone slab all day long in addition to running, or running, and then nothing is abused by the bluestone slab, it will not be good to change to anyone, let alone Bai Yu, a lazy and accustomed gangster, even if he changes his cultivation method and lets Bai Yu taste freshness, otherwise it will be too monotonous!
