Chapter 381: The Battle of Public Opinion
"What? Let all the Xiang troops outside Yuqing Villa become civilian?"
He Li, Jia Anzhai, and Mo Li looked surprised.
Cai Xue asked with disbelief in his eyes: "You are doing everything possible to control the 200,000 Xiang army, is it just to turn them into soldiers?"
Oh, yes!
This doesn't make sense!
Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng, they have always told me that you are actively training soldiers, and you plan to support the soldiers and respect yourself!
It was the first time that Song Huizong had heard that some courtiers were willing to take the initiative to remove the military power in their hands, and he felt very incredible.
Jiang Chen was very satisfied with the reaction of several people, and replied with a solemn face: "If I don't control the 200,000 Xiang Army, they will only become the private army of some people and a burden to the imperial court, and they will never be able to turn into a civilian army!" How can we solve the problem of redundant troops?"
"I see!"
He Li, Jia Anzhai and Mo Yan looked stunned, and at the same time got up and saluted Jiang Chen solemnly: "Liangchen fist fist for the heart of the country and the people, we admire!"
"Now I know that Cai Xiang and the people of the world have misunderstood you!"
Cai Xue also saluted Jiang Chen in a fake manner, he was very suspicious that Jiang Chen would not be able to get the credit for going to Jiangnan to quell the turmoil, and deliberately removed the military power and did not give Tong Guan an advantage.
Song Huizong also had this thought, and he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart, after all, he had promised to let Jiang Chen go to quell the chaos, but in the end, he sent Liu Yanqing and Xin Xingzhong because of Tong Guan's words and a dragon scale stone.
So he readily agreed: "In the future, you can make up your own mind about the arrangement between the Jimin Army and the Xiang Army, and you don't have to come to ask for instructions in every detail, I can trust you!"
"Thank you, Master! Disciple will not disappoint you!".
When one day I take control of the Great Song Dynasty, I will definitely let you be like the Queen of Eagle Sauce, study art and become a mascot with peace of mind, and no longer have to worry about state affairs!
You can rest assured!
Jiang Chen smiled.
As long as the hundreds of thousands of Xiang troops left Bianjing, he would have a way to make them his personal soldiers.
As for the remaining tens of thousands of Jimin troops, except for leaving some cronies to guard Yuqing Villa, he plans to turn around and bring them all to Jiangnan to quell the chaos, and definitely not give Tong Guan and Cai Jing the opportunity to pick up cheap and absorb them.
And if he wants to achieve this goal, he still needs to stay in Jiangnan long enough to avoid Tong Guan's conquest of Liao, which needs to rely on the old Kong family.
So, with a stroke of his pen, he wrote a vernacular essay with a flick of his pen.
At the beginning of the article, he described the dispute between him and Kong Duanyou on foreign policy verbatim, and even Kong Hongxu, the holy prince of Kong Jiayan, did not shy away from insulting and abusing women.
Then there is a thought-provoking thesis: which is better or worse between Confucianism's five techniques of controlling the people and Limen's strategy of enriching the people and strengthening the country?
"This?
Liangchen, do you really want to do this? In this case, you will be fighting with the Kong family endlessly!"
Jia Anzhai looked worried.
Mo Li also kindly persuaded, "Why don't you erase Kong Hongxu?"
"Not necessarily!
If we can help Master Zhongxing the Great Song Dynasty and remove the Confucian family, which is an obstacle to the progress of the country and the nation, what if it is an enemy of the world?"
Jiang Chen's face was full of pride, and he wrote directly under the article: If the country lives and dies, how can it be avoided because of misfortune? Limen Jiangchen!
"Okay, a good sentence for the life and death of the country, how can it be avoided because of misfortune and fortune!
Loyal minister, Liangchen, you are really my loyal minister!"
Song Huizong was moved, and praised loudly: "For thousands of years, you should be the first person who dares to face the face of the face family for the monarch!"
"The minister also wants to join the Limen, be a pure minister, and only be loyal to the official family, I wonder if the official family is willing to accept it?"
Cai Xue looked at Song Huizong expectantly.
He can see Song Huizong's attitude towards Confucius, and he also knows the great impact and impact of the implementation of vernacular and simplified Chinese characters on Confucianism.
So he decided to take a gamble!
won fame and fortune, and lost only the reputation of Confucianism, but he was able to gain the trust of Song Huizong and increase his official ranks, so he didn't lose anything.
"Anyone who believes in reason, understands reason, and understands reason can be a disciple of my Reason Sect!"
Song Huizong said with a high-spirited face.
"Thank you!"
Cai Xue looked excited, and directly wrote under Jiang Chen's name: Limen Cai Xue!
Uh-
What are you doing with your bastard?
Jiang Chen was full of displeasure, he didn't want people like Cai Xue to have too much influence in Limen.
What he didn't expect was that Jia Anzhai, He Li and Mo Li saw that Cai Xue was so "spirited", and they also put pen to paper: "The strategy of enriching the people and strengthening the country is indeed far better than the way of Confucianism to control the people, and this matter must be counted as us!"
Immediately wrote down their respective names: Limen He Li! Rismen Ja Residence! Rational door!
"Okay! Have all four of you abandoned Confucianism and reasoned? Is this trying to anger Kong Duanyou?"
Jiang Chen's face couldn't cry or laugh.
"Hahaha......
Song Huizong laughed heartily.
Everyone laughed along, too.
