There are shortcomings in anyone, and Su Bottle is no exception.

He has "three fears", afraid that others will be soft; fear of seeing the poor; Afraid of women crying.

The opponent is horizontal, and he is also horizontal, but if the opponent is soft, he is like a deflated ball;

When he saw that the poor were surrounded by walls and could not afford to eat and cure their diseases, he could not help but pay for them, but if he could not pay for it, he would be very sad;

He rarely has the same knowledge as a woman, and if he can't hide from it, he has to argue about it, as long as the woman cries, he will soften his heart.

With these shortcomings, Su Bottle himself felt that he was not a piece of material to be a general.

In fact, he never thought that one day he would go to war with thousands of troops. But life is full of uncertainties, for example, some people slowly live like they never want to see, and I don't know if Su Bottle will have that day.

As soon as Tang Mei cried, he melted the iron-hearted heart that Su Bottle had performed before, and that night, he went to Concubine Fan and asked Concubine Fan to recommend Tang Mei.

Su Bottle did not coerce Concubine Fan as Mama Wang said. Whatever you say, if you don't agree, I'll cut off your recuperation and make you suffer. Obviously, this is not the style of Su Bottle.

People are dying and their words are good, Concubine Fan seems to have let go of a lot, at this time she is seriously ill, but no one came to ask her about this, so she agreed to recommend Tang Mei.

She also asked Su Bei to go back and tell Tang Mei, hoping that Tang Mei would remember this kindness, and she didn't expect Tang Mei to repay anything, but hoped that Tang Mei would be kind to Tang Zhao in the future. She once again emphasized that it was the prince's empathy, not Tang Zhao's love.

Su Bottle solemnly agreed, but Su Bottle didn't say this to Tang Mei after he went back. Because Su Bottle feels that human feelings cannot be spoken, and can only be understood by the other party.

What the other party realizes is human affection. If you still need to be reminded, it can only show that the person is not kind. And in the face of people who are not affectionate, it is useless to say it, and it will even lead to disgust. - The premise is that the other party is an adult of sound mind.

If the other party is young, has little life experience, or lacks intelligence, then you can remind them. But it is also necessary to "point to the end", in short, to remember the words "too much".

In fact, after being nominated by the family, Tang Mei may not be elected as the county lord by the royal family. But if she misses this opportunity, Tang Mei will regret it.

If Concubine Fan was still very healthy, and Tang Mei was not the supervisor of Okura, with her bad popularity as Miss Six, she would not have this idea.

But now that Concubine Fan is no longer good, the two side concubines have begun to move closer to her, and she can use Okura's lack of children in exchange for some support. In such a situation, she could not be nominated, not only did she feel regretful, but she also felt faceless.

At the time of the lamp, Su Bei returned to Qinxiang Xiaozhu and told Tang Mei that the princess had promised to recommend you.

Tang Mei became happy, and began to rummage through the cabinets again, not knowing what she was looking for. But after looking for a long time, she still walked out of the bedroom empty-handed, pretended to sit calmly on the couch and said, "Do you still lack anything for this usual wear?" If it is lacking, you can say it, and I will reward you. ”

The word "reward" sounded a little harsh to Su Bottle, so he said: "If you want to repay me, you can give me something, it doesn't matter what you send, it's just a heart." If there's nothing to give, don't send it. As for the reward, you should leave it to the next generation. ”

Tang Mei immediately said: "Su Baoyu, don't go too far. Even if I'm not the county lord, I'm also the princess of the Guogong Mansion. Do you know "Taiping Alliance"? The sons and daughters of the Tang, Meng, and Ximen families were born with titles. And you are a common man, and if I give you something, it will be a reward. I'm not wrong, I can't allow you to chew words with me. ”

Su Bottle hooked his fingers: "You bring me "Taiping Alliance" to see." ”

Tang Mei glared angrily, stared for a while, opened the drawer, and really fished out a codex.

Su Bottle saw "Taiping Alliance" for the first time and was quite shocked.

The conclusion of this alliance began 100 years ago. In the last years of the Tang Dynasty, there were many wars. A team from Liangdi slaughtered all sides under the leadership of Zhao Luo. At the same time, the teams of the Longyou Tang clan, the Jingzhou Meng clan, and the Huainan Ximen clan were also rapidly devouring the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

But any of these four families could not end the Tang Dynasty. On the contrary, under the leadership of the Tang Dynasty general Zhu Quanzhong (Zhu Wen), there is a possibility of being broken by each one. So the four agreed to mobilize in a unified manner and take a big action. As a result, Zhao Luo's team was the first to enter Chang'an and killed Zhu Quanzhong.

Tang Zhaozong fled to Luoyang, and it was Zhao Luo who was the first to break through Luoyang, forcing Tang Zhaozong to give way. But at this time, the teams of Tang, Meng, and Ximen came to kill. They were originally invited by Zhao Luo to support, but now it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God.

So he signed the "Taiping Alliance", which led to the Tang, Meng, and Ximen families each occupying one, and the army has been retained, each of which has maintained a scale of 150,000 and has become a warlord of the feudal town. And the royal family occupies Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Hedong, Guannei, and Wudao. The Xuanjia army maintained a scale of 200,000.

Gyeonggi Province, that is, the province directly under Luoyang, is nominally royal, but in fact it has been encroached upon by the Sanmen Lord. For example, the Tang family is in the east of Luoyang City and owns a large area of land. It mainly supplies food to Thanh Hoa Fong.

This "Taiping Alliance" greatly promoted the interests of the three warlords and seriously compressed the interests of the royal family.

For example, if Miss Gongzi of the gate valve commits a crime, Jingzhao Mansion and the following yamen are not qualified to manage it. It is necessary for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to bring the emperor's edict to raise people, and then the gate valve will supervise the trial in Dali Temple.

And there are only three generations of the royal family. After three generations, all of them are civilians. However, the imperial court still takes some care of those royal families after three generations. Although he has no title and no salary, if he joins the army, he will start at the centurion level and ride a horse.

If you participate in the imperial examination, as long as the rolls are neat, you can basically become a tribute student, and you can ensure the minimum food and clothing. But it is more difficult to pass the township test, because there will be gate valves involved, and the four will supervise each other and restrain each other.

Actually, this is not entirely a bad thing, and it will lead to a good result: no one wants to promote the waste. On the contrary, this is much better than the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, and there will be no bad scene of "no poor family in the upper grade, and no scholar in the lower grade". This is also one of the differences between the gate valve of the Liang Dynasty and the gate valve before the Tang Dynasty.

Perhaps, this is also one of the reasons why this strange system of the Liang Dynasty has been able to persist for a hundred years. Capable people, there are still upward channels, and they will not be completely blocked.

The four armies of the Liang Dynasty, because of the existence of competition, attached more importance to the selection and appointment of talents. Because of this, the army of the Liang Dynasty has always maintained a high level of combat power.

However, if we continue to implement the nine-product Zhongzheng system, as the Jin Dynasty did in the south of the Yangtze River, corruption will inevitably emerge one after another. Capable people cannot be promoted, all senior officers are from the noble clan, and nine out of ten middle-level officers are related to the noble clan. The longer it goes, the more complete the corruption becomes. Now the low-level officers are also accounted for by most of the scholarly households.

Although the Southern Jin Dynasty was rich, its military strength was worrisome. Fighting a small Nanzhao country almost capsized. In the end, with twenty times the number of troops, Nanzhao was trapped for eight months. Although the Nanzhao Kingdom was defeated in the end, their king still broke through.

The emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty knew very well in his heart that the army was incompetent, although he had a million troops, he would never dare to cross the Yangtze River, but he only maintained a defensive posture by the Chen Bing River.

"It turns out that Miss Six is a person who eats Yulu." Su Bottle rubbed her chin.

"What do you think?" Tang Mei had a pair of big eyes in her sockets, and said quite proudly.

Su Bottle closed the book and pretended to sigh: "I really underestimate Miss Six." The common people are rude, and they are sincerely afraid. So in the future, the common people won't come to see Miss Six. ”

"Why?" Tang Mei raised her eyebrows.

"I'm scared. As soon as the common people saw the nobles, their legs trembled. Su said with a look of makeup.

Tang Mei narrowed her eyes and didn't speak, obviously she had seen that the Su bottle was filled.

Later, Tang Mei said that she planned to reward Su Bottle, but now she is not very rich, and she said something about the family's financial tension, so she finally decided to make a pair of shoes for Su Bottle by herself.

"I could have given you something decent, but I just got a different horse today. You know, the donkey and mule that pulled the cart for me was too old, not even as good as a donkey. ”

"Oh..., what are you going to do with the donkey and mule?"

"That mule is thirty years old, kill it, eat meat."

"It's better to do this, I don't want shoes, you can give me this mule."

"The donkey and mule are all old and hairless, what do you want it to do?"

"Commute."

"Okay, I'll ask Tang Wan to go to the Fang Department to get you a mule riding license. You have to remember that if you are not a nobleman, not an official of the fifth rank or above, and not in a hurry to handle official business, you are not allowed to run horses and mules in Luoyang City. Otherwise, he was caught by Jin Wuwei and punished with whipping at the light of day and beheaded at the worst. ”

The Jin Wuwei of the Liang Dynasty was different from the Tang Dynasty, there were a total of twelve guards, such as Xiao Cavalry, Leopard Cavalry, Qianniu Wei, etc., collectively known as Jin Wuwei. 1,000 people per guard. And the Jinwu general "King of Qi" Zhao Changchun, that is, the father-in-law of the fifth son Tang Jian.

The lady who chased and beat Tang Jian with a mallet a few days ago was the daughter of King Qi, and she was extremely fierce.

"Sixth, are you at home?"

A woman came to the house of the sixth lady, and when she saw that there was no one in the gatehouse, she greeted her loudly.

Tang Mei stood up, pushed the window and looked, it was Mrs. Tang Jian. Such a tall woman, with a strong figure, a big face like a pillow, a collapsed nose, a freckle face, and a loud voice. Seeing Tang Mei push open the window, she walked in.

Tang Mei hurriedly said, "What is the fifth sister-in-law looking for me?" ”

Mrs. Wugongzi said: "I heard from the warehouse that I have to come to you to approve the slip with something, is this true?" ”

"I have told the Lord Bo that if a man like his sister-in-law wants to take anything, he will take whatever is reasonable. Why, the Lord doesn't give it to his sister-in-law? ”

"Do you think what I'm going to take is unreasonable?" While speaking, Mrs. Wugongzi walked in, and when she saw Su Bottle, Su Bottle saluted Mrs., Mrs. hugged her hand in front of her abdomen and looked at it, and suddenly raised her finger and said: "Good young man, you knocked the Khitan people out of the ring that day, but you gave the old lady a bad breath." ”
