Chapter 52 The outside must first be at ease
"The poem you wrote in the county examination room that day was read by those lords and factions, and some people were unstable in their holy paths, which led to the discouragement of the army and the decline of their cultivation, and some people even directly collapsed their military spirit and turned their cultivation into a complete ruin, so naturally they wanted to list you as a great enemy of life and death. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and Zhongshu Ling himself also has a lot of complaints about you, and has repeatedly obstructed Lord Xu from asking for a reward. Ji Xianling sighed, "Alas, speaking of which, it is also that I and the court officials did not think it through, only thinking about the weakness of the human race, and publicizing your fame can inspire the hope in the hearts of the human race, ignoring the reaction of the imperial court, which pushed you to the cusp." ”
"The two adults are dedicated to the sake of the human race, if the poems written by Xiao Sheng can inspire the fighting spirit of the human race, it is also the wish of Xiao Sheng, and it is absolutely impossible to blame the two adults. It's just that Zhongshu Ling is so high-powered, why bother me with a little martial artist?" Su Yi clenched his fists and said.
"As I said before, although you are only a martial artist, you are still a natural chosen son, as long as there are no accidents, you will become a national warrior in the future. Ji Xianling replied, "In addition, you have also achieved ten goals through the ages, anyone can see that your future is extraordinary, how can you not see the Zhongshu Ling? You must not underestimate the Zhongshu Ling, this person's vision is extremely vicious and long-term, he can judge the future of others at a glance, and he will win over or eradicate others in time when they have not yet made a career, and the means are far beyond comparison." He sees that you are extremely talented, and you have a tendency to fight in the main battle, and he has enough reasons to eradicate you. ”
Su Yi's eyelids jumped, and she asked, "If such a big man wants to deal with me, then how can I protect myself?"
"You don't have to worry too much, there are Central Plains barbarians in the south and north of Xuzhou, and the interests of the Yingzhou Seagod clan in the east. Ji County Commander said, "Moreover, even Lord Qiu Yingyan, the affairs of the state court, also praised you, he even put down his cruel words yesterday, if someone dares to threaten your personal safety Su Shichou, he will slaughter the nine clans and eighteen generations of that person; if the lord of the capital and the faction dare to step into southern Xuzhou and hurt your life, he will lead the world's scholars to kill the imperial court, take the head of the Zhongshu Ling, and the side of the Qing monarch!"
Su Yi's heart was beating when she heard this, she didn't expect this hater who had never met to be so heroic and resolute, this is the side of the Qing monarch! "Eradicating" cronies and traitors in front of the Son of Heaven, if it weren't for the courage and courage in this person's chest, he would never be able to say such a thing, let alone do such a bold thing.
But on the other hand, Su Yi felt that his heart was stable: the fact that the Qiu Yuan was willing to protect himself so hard showed that although the Lord and the faction were powerful, the human race had definitely not completely lost its fighting spirit! Although the flame of the main battle was small, the spark of the spark could ignite the prairie fire!
At the same time, Su Yi suddenly had a hint of curiosity about the affairs of the Qiu Courtyard in her heart.
"What kind of person is Qiu Yuanshi?" asked Su Yi.
"Hehe, speaking of which...... I only heard that Qiu Yuanshi crossed the river alone last year to kill the barbarians, and killed them for a whole year, which terrified the barbarians in Northern Xuzhou, and when he came back, he had been promoted to the rank of hero, and he also rescued millions of people in Northern Xuzhou who were enslaved by the barbarians and returned to Jiangnan. Ji Xianling's eyes flashed with a ray of admiration, and his eyebrows flew and he said, "Compared with the inactive imperial court and the old flying generals of Zhenzhou who rarely come forward, the Qiu Yuan is the real Optimus Prime in the hearts of the people of Southern Xuzhou;
Su Yi's heart was excited when she heard this, thinking that one day she must go to personally visit the affairs of the Qiu Yuan, not to mention anything else, with the merit of saving back the millions of slaves in Jiangbei, it was enough to make Su Yi respect the affairs of the Qiu Yuan.
Ji County Ling said again: "So, with the Qiu Yuan in charge, as long as you are in Southern Xuzhou for a day, you don't need to worry about personal safety...... Even so, the Lord and the faction are powerful, and he is also the leader of the Zhongshu Order, and he may not personally attack you, but he will definitely secretly plot his hands and feet to harm you! I will send two generals to protect you day and night in secret, and the affairs of the Imperial Court will also monitor the wind and grass in the whole city at any time, and it is necessary to ensure that you are thorough! You yourself should be more vigilant, and you should not be secretly mixed with your ankles. ”
"Remember. Su Yi arched her hand, as if she remembered something, and said, "Lord County, since you want to arrange people around Xiaosheng, why don't you help me find two experienced housekeepers and porters with reliable character by the way?"
"Oh, you haven't hired anyone for these two positions yet, can't you look down on those housekeepers and maidservants?" Ji Xianling said in surprise.
"It's not that I don't look down on them, but I'm afraid that they are too young and inexperienced to share the burden of Sister Shi'er. Su Yi replied.
"I see, you're a lover. Ji Xianling said with a smile, "I'll help you find two people tomorrow morning, and I'll come to your house after you finish climbing the Star Pavilion." ”
Su Yi hurriedly thanked him.
After that, Ji Xian Ling first looked at the test strategy that Su Yi answered yesterday, and when he looked at the beginning, he still felt that it was normal, but when he saw the last sentence, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately applauded.
"It's a good 'you must first settle down if you want to go outside', just with this sentence, I have to give you a full deal to solve!" Ji County Ling said.
"Is that really the case?" Although Su Yi's morale increased yesterday because of writing this sentence, she still felt excited when she heard Ji County Ling say this in person.
"Naturally, 'outside' is to sweep away the enemy, it is the duty of the general, but many generals only know how to go outside, but do not know 'inside', even if they have all kinds of military talents, they still fail, the ancient sages such as Han Xin, Li Mu, Le Yi, etc., are not doing a good job of the way of the inside, so that they are suspicious of the monarch, and the end is very sad. Ji County Ling said regretfully.
Su Yi nodded, these sages are all typical examples of people with extremely high military talents, but they were stabbed by their own families, and famous generals such as Yue Fei and Yuan Chonghuan in later generations also belong to this list.
Ji County Ling continued: "'Those who will be able to win but the king will not win', you answer 'will want to go outside must first settle inside' is full of chips; if you are like most candidates, answer 'will be outside the king's life will not be affected', I must give you a zero chip!"
"Why?" asked Su Yi.
"Most of them are generals, and they all respect the phrase 'the general will not be subject to the king's life', and almost regard it as a wise saying, and often use this sentence to contradict the monarch. Ji Xianling pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "But what if you think from the perspective of the monarch? All the affairs of the state, such as people's livelihood, internal affairs, foreign affairs, enemy situation, and internal rebels, all require the monarch to personally make decisions, and the pressure on the monarch is much greater than that of a general who is only in charge of military affairs." ”
After a pause, Ji Xianling said: "And the army is the backbone of maintaining all domestic and foreign affairs, and it is the lifeblood of the country. Therefore, as a general, one must not only have military talent, but also have insight into the monarch's mind, and at the same time keep the monarch at ease, he must also 'settle inside' and try by all means to make the monarch feel at ease, so that political enemies can take advantage of it; in this way, the monarch will rest assured that the general will make his own decisions, and naturally there will be a situation in which 'the general will be able to win but the king is not the king'. ”
"Therefore, 'the general will not be subject to the king's life' is just an ideal state. The reality is that both the monarch and the general should be considerate of each other and achieve internal unity in order to achieve a real military victory in foreign countries. Ji County Ling concluded.
Su Yi hurriedly took notes, wrote down some points that he couldn't take into account last night, and nodded while comprehending.
Seeing this, Ji Xianling sighed in his heart: "This nephew Su Xian is not only well-read and strong-remembered, but also sensitive and studious, and can understand a little, I have taught hundreds of students in my life, but I have never seen such a talented and intelligent person, and the son should be like Su Shizhi!"
Subsequently, Ji County's order listed several original chapter questions taken from "Sun Tzu's Art of War" for Su Yi to answer, and Su Yi answered them one by one in just a moment, and it was very close to the perfect answer, which made Ji County's order sigh again and again.
An hour flew by, and Ji County ordered to start explaining the whole chapter tomorrow, and then got up to say goodbye.
Su Yi personally sent Ji County's order out of the door, but when he walked to the main courtyard, he heard a sound of wooden machinery overhead, Su Yi looked up, and suddenly felt a novelty, it turned out to be a carrier pigeon of the worker's machine!
The carrier pigeon stopped in Ji County's hand, and then spit out a letter rolled into a cylinder, and after Ji County's order took it, he immediately began to read.
Su Yi's ears were tipped, and he heard the sound of the gears inside the carrier pigeon, and then saw that the wooden pigeon was actually alive, fluttering its wings and flying into the air.
Su Yi was stunned to watch as the carrier pigeon flew to a certain height, and then glided away outside the city, disappearing in an instant.
"This carrier pigeon, even knows how to save kinetic energy by gliding, the wonder of the soldier on the mainland, it is really an eye-opener for me. Su Yi was amazed in her heart.
Su Yi didn't know what the operating principle of this carrier pigeon was, and after seeing it disappear, she withdrew her gaze and looked at Ji Xianling's side face, and found that the more he read the letter, the more gloomy his expression became.
Su Yi said in his heart that something bad must have happened, otherwise he would not have used an expensive carrier pigeon to urgently pass the book.
"That's true!" Ji Xian Ling turned around after reading the letter, and asked Su Yi angrily, "Shang Shu Ling Xu told me in this letter that his subordinates in charge of monitoring the Prime Minister's Mansion reported this morning, and Zhong Shu Ling's butler has set off for Sushui County, I am afraid it will be bad for you, let me pay close attention to what he wants to do." ”
Su Yi frowned slightly, she didn't expect the crisis to come so quickly.
"Don't worry, in this southern Xuzhou, even Zhongshu Ling will not dare to harm you on the surface, but it is absolutely indispensable to stumble on you secretly. Nephew Su Xian, you must be more vigilant from now on. In addition, tomorrow morning is the time to ascend to the Star Pavilion, and you must recharge your energy tonight and keep your spirits full. Ji County Ling admonished.
Su Yi nodded in agreement.
