Chapter 567: Opposition for Selfish Gain
Li Linfu's eyes were keen, and he quickly caught the subtle change in the expression on the saint's face, and he hurriedly stopped Wang Ji from digging deeper into this conversation with his eyes.
But Wang Ji hurt people's hearts, thinking that what he just said was not shocking enough, and continued to increase the output power of slander: "Your Majesty, this Li Siye is very hidden, since he left Chang'an and arrived in the west of the city, although he has never contacted the prince, he has never forgotten the prince's kindness, and consciously classified himself as the diehard loyalist of the East Palace. Moreover, when Huangfu Weiming was appointed as the interview envoy of Longyoudao, the examination class for Li Siye was to go to middle school, which was much higher than that of Meng Lingcha, the envoy of Anxi Jiedu at that time, and Gao Xianzhi, the deputy capital protector, which is enough to show that they were colluded. ”
The emperor naturally disdains to tell the truth of Wang Jie's accusations and suspicions, but the gap between people and people's emotional intelligence is like a mountain, some people can deduce the truth with a look, and some people have to touch the truth again and again, and some truths are not something you can touch if you want to, and it is easy to break your head.
"Wei Jian's case happened last year, and it has come to an end this year, which has led to a lot of people who deserve it, and it must have implicated many innocent people. Perhaps some people will also use the investigation to retaliate and implicate those who should not be punished. Therefore, this case should be closed and no one else should be involved. ”
Li Longji has said it bluntly enough, if Wang Ji doesn't understand it anymore, it is estimated that he will be expelled from Chang'an as mentally retarded.
Although Wang Zhongcheng's EQ is much worse, his IQ is very high, otherwise he would not have thought of so many ways to exploit the people. He obediently retreated behind Li Linfu, and handed over the situation to the right minister to deal with when it was difficult to support it.
Li Linfu crossed his hands with a smile on his face and said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the case of Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming has passed, and there is no need to pursue it further, and the two of them are not committed adulterers, but they are just loyal to your majesty." These two people are actually too smart, thinking that they can entrust their ambitions to others, but unfortunately their ambition can only be worthy of Lingnan. ”
Wang Ji admired it in his heart, the mouth of the right minister is powerful, although he is talking about Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming, but he has not left the crown prince Li Heng in a word. With Li Heng's level of struggle, if it weren't for his position as the prince of the East Palace, it is estimated that he would have been kicked out of Chang'an by his old man.
Li Longji felt a little guilty about this matter, and he didn't want to mention it again, so he had to wave his hand to bypass this section. Since the cases of Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming are not mentioned, Li Siye, who was forcibly pulled into the case by them, will naturally not be mentioned again.
The right minister's cleverness is not to fight with him when biting, to take a bite first to try the color, if the bite does not move or does not bite, quickly give up the target. Then go through a long wait, looking for the next opportunity to bite the enemy and avoid getting entangled and putting yourself in a difficult situation. But once he bites you, he will never let go until he bites you to death.
Li Longji tightened the reins, so that he could not find any opportunity to bite, so he had to give up for the time being.
The emperor held on to the armrest of the Hu bed, and after a little hesitation, he asked Li Linfu: "Five years ago, He Zhizhang was sparse, and the authority of the festival was too heavy, which was afraid of making Guanzhong unstable, what solution did the brother slave have?" ”
Lin Fu raised the corners of his eyes, he remembered the events of five years ago so clearly, someone must have helped him remember it, the emperor wanted to bring up the old things again, and someone must have mentioned it behind his back.
He solemnly bowed and crossed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the authority to grant the Jiedu envoy is to be able to concentrate superior forces to fight abroad, such as the Hexi Corridor, where Tubo has more than 300,000 troops near Hexi, and the one in charge is Su Biru, one of the five Tubo Rus, who is in charge. The enemy's soldiers are far superior to us by five times, and if we cannot place a commander-in-chief to lead the troops and horses in Hexi, and each army fights separately, it will be difficult to lay a victory in Hexi. ”
Li Longji frowned again: "You said that I understand that every system exercised by the imperial court has advantages and disadvantages, and I only ask you how to resolve the disadvantages of excessive authority due to moderation." ”
"The only way, of course, is to disperse, Your Majesty divides the border passes into ten towns, and each town is not subordinate to each other. If His Majesty orders one town and one section, and does not take over multiple towns, why should the border towns be concerned? What's more, even if there are people who are both towns and two towns, the generals under their command are all military households who grew up under the rule of our Tang Dynasty, or Hu people, they all feel the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the kindness of His Majesty. The people of the world in the Kaiyuan Dynasty are all praised, and the Central Plains of the frontier are rich, and the saints are prosperous in the world. Not to mention that there are no ill-intentioned people in the Ten Sections, even if there is! He also applauded! The people and soldiers only supported the Tang Dynasty and the saints in their hearts. They live in abundance, they hate war, and no one should try to drag them into battle, destroy their homes, or incite them to rebel against Your Majesty! ”
Wang Ji felt that his face was hot, not because Li Linfu was better than his eloquence and was ashamed. It's Li Linfu's nonsense with his eyes open to the two big holes, and it is not false that he can be impassioned. Whoever tells the truth has no confidence in him.
Li Longji raised his head and fell into deep thought, a very serious problem in Li Siye's mouth, but it was very relaxed in Li Linfu's mouth. He knew that what these two people said was one-sided and tendentious, and he couldn't accept it all.
He then asked: "What do you think you think of the fact that I want to serve as an envoy for only three years, and then rotate or transfer back to the court after three years?" ”
As soon as Li Linfu heard the four words of transferring back to the DPRK, his eyelids trembled, and he quickly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, by all means, the three-year rotation is the source of bad habits and neglect of government!" As a general of a border town, it is better to stick to one place than to stick to one place, they have been stuck in one place for a long time, and they will inevitably regard it as their own foundation, consolidate the city defense, actively resist the enemy, and take the initiative to attack. If it is a three-year term, it will inevitably make the Lord lazy and lazy, and ignore the shortcomings left by his predecessor. Even if there is a strong enemy at present, they will be afraid of the enemy and avoid the enemy, and if they can, they will procrastinate, and once the three-year term is over, all the contradictions and disputes will be handed over to the next one. In the long run, border problems have occurred frequently, and the top and bottom cannot be concentric, if a strong enemy attacks, it will inevitably be defeated with one blow, endangering the Datang Society! ”
Anyone who has played a debate tournament knows that the pros and cons of the same issue can be refuted one by one, triggering a war of words.
Therefore, even if you have a theory in your hand that seems to occupy the logical high ground, you can't withstand the bitter criticism of others who are deliberately preparing for war, and you can still find dozens of arguments against it. So few people dare to say that they have the truth in their hands, unless they have been tested by practice, otherwise trolls jump out all the time, and dozens of arguments are sprayed. The logic you've constructed will still crumble.
Not to mention that many dynasties dominated by literati are easy to be destroyed by foreigners. Because a group of literati think too much, they must consider all aspects from the public and private, from the people's livelihood, from the economy, and from the interests of each family, and only after these conditions are met can the national interests be considered. The controversy above the court is comparable to that of a college debate, and even a matter of life and death is a matter of life and death, and they can find the omissions in it and fight back. A series of things that are not right for people, things are not for people, opposition for the sake of opposition, as long as the opponent supports me, I oppose it, but the core issue is ignored.
The emperor stroked his beard and nodded slightly, Li Siye's suggestion was originally skeptical in his heart, and at the slightest objection, he gave up his plan and continued to be comfortable with the status quo.
