Volume 5 Chapter 578 The Great Changes in the Chang'an Court!
For the noble class of Chang'an, there are few secrets.
The circle is so big, but if there is a little bit of trouble, almost everyone knows it.
Of course, this is only limited to their circle.
And Li Er is the top nobleman in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Don't forget, in addition to being the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he is also the patriarch of the Li family today.
So, how could this news be hidden from him?
"Interesting." Li Er smiled, "Isn't it enough to satisfy your appetite anymore?" ”
If Qin Qiong goes to Daming, if her health really improves, it will definitely be explosive news, and it will be a living signboard.
Don't forget, which of these ministers in the Tang Dynasty is not a dying old man?
This is definitely a fatal temptation for them.
But then again, if Qin Qiong's illness can really be cured, Li Er really won't refuse.
First, after all, he is an old brother who has followed him for many years, although he is ruthless, but he is not so ruthless.
Second, and most importantly, if he behaves too ruthlessly, it will chill people's hearts.
Thinking like this, Li Er sighed, not to mention, Li Chengqian's hand is really powerless.
Of course, everything depends on whether Qin Qiong can cure the root of his illness in Sun Moon Mountain.
Actually, from this aspect, Li Er has actually accepted this matter.
Sure enough, when Qin Huaidao accompanied Qin Qiong to the court the next day, Qin Huaidao even just spoke about it, and before he even took out the chapter, Li Er immediately nodded in agreement, and even said with a relieved face: "Huaidao is filial, I am very pleased, Fang Qing, pass the decree, and seal Huaidao......"
When Fang Xuanling heard this, he bowed down to receive the order, and neither he nor everyone was surprised by this.
In this era of governing the country with filial piety, this kind of thing is really normal.
Of course, as for what Li Er thought in his heart, everyone was also speculating.
It's also an opportunity for those of them.
After all, they are all old, and the future is also a way out for them.
After Fang Xuanling discussed the matter of Wang Xuance with Li Er and everyone in the court, the rest of the officials also played one after another.
Of course, the content varies.
Datang, after all, such a huge country, it is impossible for everything to revolve around the Ming Dynasty.
It took about an hour of hard work for Li Er to initially deal with these cumbersome things, and after looking at everyone, Li Er asked, "Do you still have anything to play?" ”
Seeing that no one was talking, Li Er took out a piece of music from the table and said, "If Zhongqing is fine, then I will talk to Zhongqing." ”
As he spoke, Li Er also raised the recital in his hand and said, "This is the recital of the Secret Spy Division, which tells in detail how the Ming Dynasty destroyed Tibet in one battle.
Of course, it is not accurate to say that Tubo was destroyed, judging from the music sent by the secret spy department, although the main force of Tubo was completely buried by Songtsen Gampo, but the tribes around the country are now organizing soldiers and horses to try to drive the Ming out of the territory of Tubo.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty's troops left in Tubo were extremely limited, and now there were only 10,000 soldiers left under the command of Dabuqu to cooperate with Subi to conquer the remnants of Tubo.
As a result, we can all guess that the remnants of the Tibetan forces are just stubbornly resisting.
Of course, these are not the most important, the most important thing is how the Ming Dynasty managed to destroy the Tubo army led by Songtsen Gampo in one battle. ”
As soon as this was spoken, everyone came to their senses.
That's what they're curious about, too.
It stands to reason that Tubo is not weak, even if the Tang Dynasty sends troops, it may not be able to destroy Tubo at such a speed, at that moment, everyone looked at Li Er, looking forward to the following.
Li Er didn't sell it, and said with a smile: "In this battle, Da Ming wins in ordnance!" ”
After that, Li Er asked the inner attendant to send the secret spy division's recital down, but those generals were unequivocal, snatching the recital from the inner servant in three steps and two steps, and even mocked those civil officials: "Do you understand the matter of arranging troops?" ”
The military generals of the Tang Dynasty are really strong, and it is unambiguous to raise civil officials.
However, those civil officials didn't bother to compete with them, after all, in terms of personal physical strength, they really couldn't compare to these guys.
When everyone finished reading the recital, they all shook their heads and were speechless.
And the most hit are undoubtedly those generals.
Li Xiaogong even shook his head and said, "If it goes on like this, we old guys, I'm afraid it's useless." ”
When he said this, he was somewhat lonely.
For these people, these new ordnances made by Da Ming are gradually keeping them away from the battlefield.
But the problem is, that's what they eat this bowl of rice!
These new weapons of the Ming Dynasty gradually gave them a sense of strangeness to the future battlefield, and there was a sense of loneliness in the twilight of the heroes.
Of course, this loneliness is only for a moment.
After all, they are all battle-hardened famous generals, and the girls are not chirping, but in a blink of an eye, everyone began to study how to crack these new weapons of the Ming Dynasty.
But the civil servants began to ponder.
A moment later, all the civil officials looked at Duan Lun in unison.
Duan Lun knew what they meant, and immediately said with a bitter face: "No, my Ministry of Industry doesn't care about gunpowder, you have to ask Yan Lide about gunpowder." ”
"It's not just about gunpowder." Someone immediately said, "Those people who intercepted and killed Lu Dongzan yesterday heard that the crossbow in their hands can fire dozens of arrows in a row, and the rest of the weapons in their hands are also unheard of in my Tang Dynasty." ”
Speaking of this, those generals also came to the spirit, and Hou Junji immediately said: "Yes, the old man has also heard that although the long-range lethality of their crossbow is insufficient, it can be within the last dozens of steps of the two armies' sprint, it is definitely a divine weapon!" ”
"That's right." Li Jing also said, "If we didn't know in advance, even if we faced them, we might have to suffer a loss, and we can only say that this Tubo lost unjustly." ”
Listening to everyone's discussion, Li Er didn't interrupt, but just ordered someone to pass Yan Lide over.
He is also very attentive to Daming's new armaments, and it can even be said that he is the most attentive one.
After all, the person in charge of these new ordnance was Li Chengqian, which gave him a sense of crisis.
When Yan Lide came, everyone was still discussing, and when Li Er saw this, he waved his hand and said, "Take the chapter to Yan Qing to see." ”
When everyone heard this, they quieted down, and they didn't know who it was, so they handed the chapter to Yan Lide.
Yan Lide actually guessed that with the destruction of Tubo, Li Er was able to recruit him, what was the reason, and he was not about to come out?
However, after watching the recital, Yan Lide was also stunned for a moment.
Good guy, has Daming's gunpowder developed to this point?
However, he still admires Daming's innovation.
In any case, the development of gunpowder by Daming and Datang is just a matter of the front and back, and Daming's use in actual combat is much more mature than Datang.
"What does Yan Qing think?" Li Er saw that Yan Lide had closed the concert, so he asked.
When Yan Lide heard this, he bowed down and said, "It's the ministers who are incompetent. ”
"At this moment, no one says that you are incompetent or incompetent." Li Er asked angrily, "What I ask is, can I Datang make these things." ”
"It's okay to make it." Yan Lide said, "The principle is not difficult, it is nothing more than using the impact of gunpowder explosion." ”
Li Er nodded, he also felt that it was not a big problem to make it.
"But our mindset is a real problem." Yan Lide continued, "Daming is indeed stronger than me Datang in this regard, they never seem to lack the spirit of innovation, dare to try, and are not afraid of failure after trying.
This is exactly what I Datang can't compare, speaking of which, even if I Datang imitated Daming today to make these things, but who knows what Daming will make tomorrow?
Do we want to imitate the Ming Dynasty all the time? Where does this put my face in the heavens? ”
After speaking, Yan Lide sighed heavily, as if his heart was full of knots.
And his words also made everyone fall into deep thought.
Indeed, if this is always the case, Datang will always follow behind other people's butts, and blindly imitating is not a way after all.
In the long run, this gap will only widen.
"What does Yan Qing think?" Li Er actually guessed what Yan Lide wanted to do, after all, it had been a few years, and he had always had this idea as a prisoner.
It's just that Li Er really couldn't support Yan Lide to do this before, but now is a good time.
Yan Lide immediately said: "Your Majesty, Weichen please play, start the construction department, and set up an engineering college." As he spoke, Yan Lide also took out a book of music from his sleeve cage and continued, "I have a large number of talents in Datang, and the reason why I lag behind Daming step by step in industry is that the craftsmen of Datang are limited by inherent thinking.
If we want to completely change this status quo, we can only start from the children and cultivate their sense of innovation, otherwise, it will be difficult for my Datang's industry to catch up with Daming. ”
For this idea, Yan Lide has been preparing for more than three years.
And this piece of music has been in his sleeve for three years!
Even the music was changed several times, just to wait for an opportunity.
Obviously, today, he waited for this opportunity.
And as soon as he said this, Kong Yingda of Guozijian immediately said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, where has there been such a thing as engineering?" Where are the craftsmen among the four people of Shinong, industry and commerce?
If you let the craftsmen enter the house, wouldn't it subvert the tradition of the ancestors for thousands of years? ”
From Kong Yingda's standpoint, he is resolutely opposed to the so-called engineering.
This is crowding out the interests of their noble people, how can he agree.
At the moment, many people also stood up against it.
For this scene, although Yan Lide had been mentally prepared, when he saw this, he couldn't help but sigh, and even felt a little angry.
And at this moment, Duan Lun stood up and said, "What the ancestors left behind may not be right, now that we have found the problem, why can't we set things right?"
I want the horses to run and the horses don't eat grass, is there really such a good thing in the world?
You can actually see the problem, so why can't you make a change? Are you really so afraid of craftsmen? Or do you not even have the courage to compete with the craftsmen? ”
He is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, so he naturally stands on Yan Lide's side.
Although he also belongs to the vested interests of the Shi clan, the ass determines thinking, and since he sits in this position, he can only do so.
This is also the ethics of Datang officials.
"Ridiculous!" Wen Yanbo immediately stood up and retorted, "Do you want us to be officials in the same dynasty with a group of lowly people in the future?" ”
"Then Shang Shuling is going to personally develop those new types of ordnance?" Yan Lide was immediately angry, "Or does it mean that Datang's industry doesn't need to develop?"
Let's look up to Daming in the future, okay?
I think I'm in the heavens, when will I look up to other people's snorts? ”
"It's like in the past, I didn't have a craftsman in Datang!" Wen Yanbo snorted coldly and said, "Could it be that before this, no one in my Datang Dynasty would learn the craft?" ”
"Yes! Why not? Yan Lide said, "How many craftsmen do I have in the Tang Dynasty? But there's no hope in sight! Do you really think that the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty are better at innovating than the craftsmen of my Datang, and they are smarter than the craftsmen of my Datang?
Or are they more diligent than the craftsmen of my Datang?
No, neither!
It's because they can see hope, they can see the light! This is the reason why Daming Industry can stand alone in the world.
Guys, think about it with your brains, right?
How many years has Daming's industry only started?
But how many years have they done what we haven't done?
If it hadn't been stimulated by Daming's industry over the years, this official would dare to say that my Datang's industry would be much more backward!
Look at Daming, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty never pick people, and the people of the Ming Dynasty, no matter who they are, dare and are willing to try the craftsman industry.
Why, because the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty can walk on the street with their heads held high!
Be respected!
Weichen heard that Xu Jingzong of Taohe County dug up a lot of craftsmen from Daming, and these craftsmen dug up from Daming, in the face of officials large and small in Taohe County, are all neither humble nor arrogant, why?
Because Da Ming has cultivated their absolute self-confidence!
They don't feel that being a craftsman is inferior!
Look at my Datang craftsmen again, who is not submissive?
Even if my Datang craftsman wants to ask for a mother-in-law, he can only find it in the cheap book.
You are counting on a group of kneeling people to compete with a group of standing people, and you guys, they are not the same heights, and they see different things......
Let them stand up, as individuals!
Give them a touch of light, let them see hope, and they can work miracles! ”
Yan Lide looked sad and said on the top of the hall with his hands dancing.
And his words did make many people fall into deep thought.
Even Li Er nodded approvingly: "What Yan Qing said is very true, how can a group of kneeling people be the opponent of a group of standing people?"
I'm ready, start the construction department, and set up an engineering college!
Allow engineering to take the lead! ”
He wasn't just moved by Yan Lide's words, but he also had this idea.
For Li Er, it is not a good thing to be controlled by scholars, if he can take the opportunity to add a new force to the court, it will definitely be a good thing for him.
From the perspective of an emperor, he really doesn't have any concept of three, six, nine, etc.
After all, in the whole world, he has stood at the pinnacle, and no one can beat him. Whether it is a scholar or a lowly person, they are all his people, how can he mind who is on the throne?
"Your Majesty, by all means." As soon as Li Er's words fell, Kong Yingda immediately stood up.
Not only him, but Wen Yanbo and others also stood up in a swarm and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice!" ”
Li Er doesn't care, they care!
opened the engineering department, the biggest impact is their scholar clan, this is not the most critical, the most critical thing is to open this precedent, who knows what will appear in the court in the future?
That's the last thing they can accept.
The precedent is either not opened, but once it is opened, it is absolutely endless.
When Li Er heard this, he didn't speak, but just looked at Yan Lide, and said in his heart, I have already made a statement, and the next thing is up to you.
When Yan Lide saw Li Er's eyes, he immediately understood, and when he was about to argue with reason, Xiao Yu stood up and said, "The old minister thinks this proposal is very good. ”
His stand up made many people a little surprised.
"Song Guogong's words are wrong." Wen Yanbo said, "How can a craftsman enter the house without the edification of knowledge, does Song Guogong hope to become an official in the same dynasty with a group of people full of market slang in the future?" ”
"What? According to Shang Shuling, we are still afraid that we will not be able to compete with those craftsmen? Or do I not even have the confidence to read in Datang? Xiao Yu retorted, "As for those craftsmen who don't have the edification of knowledge, then why don't you let those scholars learn?"
Since engineering can be entered, what is the difference for those who are studying?
Is there less of a scholar who can't get into my Datang?
Isn't this an opportunity for them? ”
"Song Guogong really dares to say that let those scholars do the things of craftsmen? How ridiculous? Wen Yanbo immediately snorted coldly.
Xiao Yu is an axis person, and immediately retorted when he heard this: "What? Scholars don't even have the courage to do this? That's it, you dare to look down on those craftsmen?
If you really have the ability, you should compare yourself with others? Is it fair competition?
Or do you not even dare to do this?
In that case, why do you have a superior posture? ”
He's a real man.
is a square person, even if it is placed in the entire Tang Dynasty, it is a rare existence.
Speaking of which, he can't be regarded as a scholar, if you talk about his background alone, he has more background than everyone present, after all, his ancestors also had emperors.
Therefore, he does not have too much class concept, and he is really a person.
Whoever is right, he will support whomever he supports.
And when he said this, everyone didn't know how to refute it.
Do you have to make them admit that they don't dare to do it?
Seeing this, Yan Lide immediately said: "Yes, the School of Engineering is open to people all over the world, not limited to anyone.
Readers also read books, and if you really want to be in this kind of fine industry, readers may not be able to take any advantage! ”
He also took the opportunity to stimulate everyone.
In this way, Wen Yanbo and Kong Yingda were also excited, and some people couldn't help it, so they immediately said: "Then try it, the old man wants to see if my generation of scholars is stronger, or those cheap people are stronger!" ”
As soon as he said this, Wen Yanbo, Kong Yingda and others were shocked.
Good fellow, you've fallen for them!
But at this point, they had no choice but to admit it.
After all, no one wants to admit their inadequacy.
Especially the arrogant ones.
And as soon as they said this, Yan Lide almost went crazy with laughter.
Let the students come to the engineering college, and the effect will be absolutely good.
Li Er also laughed crazy in his heart, for him, this is a good thing!
In the future, it is definitely a good thing to have an extra group that can fight against scholars.
Next, everyone started a new round of confrontation on the matter of the College of Engineering.
Of course, in this regard, Yan Lide is not so strong.
After all, it's not good to offend these guys to death, and sometimes, it's also a strategy to advance and retreat in moderation.
At this time, Fang Xuanling and others began to express their opinions.
Fang Xuanling, this guy, he knows that it is a good thing to start the academy, but his position cannot be shaken, after all, he is a servant of the court and needs the support of hundreds of officials.
As for those generals, they are like watching a play.
It had little effect on them.
And as generals, they are really not afraid to compete with anyone.
After implementing this problem, Fang Xuanling once again raised Wang Xuance's question.
Immediately, the crowd discussed this issue again.
Of course, everyone didn't get too entangled in this issue, and the reason why it was raised was because Li Er suddenly interjected before, and some details were not implemented.
But it's fast at this time, in the end, it's just a group of prisoners, and there is not much loss in sending it to Daming.
If there is any great talent in the prisoners, it will be detained.
"Your Majesty, what should I do to prepare for His Royal Highness's wedding?" Just after dealing with this matter, Wei Zheng asked.
He rarely spoke today, but when he did, everyone was silent.
This Li Chengqian's wedding, the invitations were sent to all the houses, and they basically went to fight the autumn wind.
They have a headache when they think of this, Li Chengqian is married, don't any of them have to bleed once?
The point is that this kind of thing absolutely did not exist in the past, and Li Chengqian set a precedent for them.
Of course, only Li Chengqian has such a thick skin and will do this.
When did the emperor's family beat the autumn breeze of the courtier's family?
Li Er also frowned when he heard this, after all, it was the eldest son's wedding, and it was a diplomatic relationship between the two countries, even if he didn't want to, he would have to bleed heavily this time.
"What does the Ministry of Rites say?" Li Er immediately asked.
Li Xiaogong immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has prepared a gift list, and has also drawn up a group of missions to Daming, and I also invite Your Majesty to take a look." ”
After that, Li Xiaogong also took out a book of music from his sleeve cage, and immediately bowed down and handed it to the attendant in the palace.
He was also ready for a long time, after all, he couldn't delay such a big thing.
Moreover, the envoy Daming is fat, and he is afraid that he will be approached to intercede.
Yesterday I had a headache, the top melon peel was the same as cramps, I couldn't help it, I could only go to the hospital, I'm sorry, I don't want to break the change, there is more traffic, five or six thousand new subscriptions a day, break the change once, there is no traffic for a week, and the new one dropped half instantly...... Hey, I really can't help it.
Recently, I have saved the manuscript, and I may have to go to the hospital for a period of time at the end of the month, so please forgive me.
Of course, it won't be broken, this can be assured, the main thing is that I don't dare to break it.
Hey, I took a few months off from work to recuperate, but I couldn't stop.
Finally, ask for a monthly pass.
(End of chapter)
