Chapter 32: Victory
The princess was unimpressed at first about Xiao Wen's actions, after all, the servants were very "loyal", and the princess would not be angry with her son for some utensils, so she would ask the servants a few words at most to take care of them.
It can be seen how unbright a mother's eyes are when facing the problem of children's education, and of course the father is the same.
The son is not the fault of the father, Shen Sanwen must be well managed, this is his responsibility.
The princess was so knowledgeable that she must have been very well-behaved when she was a child. I didn't have this hobby when I was a child.,Even if you're angry, you can fall on anything.,Who is this like?
Looking at the joy in the eyes of the crowd, how disgusting is Xiao Qian?
That's it. With his own best father in the world, he will definitely be able to teach Xiaoqing well.
Although Shen Sanwen also thought in his heart, how good it would be if she was a little princess.
Quiet night.
The princess and the colt are whispering.
Shen San asked, "Your baby son is a little skinny." ”
The princess pinched the bridge of Shen Sanwen's nose, "Were you skinny when you were a child?" ”
Shen San asked: "When I was a child, I was a good child, with great health, love of learning, good moral character, and a good reputation. ”
The princess chuckled, but did not poke at him, "What did you learn as a child?" "Can you make a name for yourself?
Shen San asked: "Well, when I was a child, I learned some physical fitness techniques, so now my body is better, and I can fight for three hundred rounds." ”
...
When both of them were exhausted, they hugged each other and fell asleep.
Discuss things, or sit down and talk about it in a formal manner during the day.
Shen San asked, "Do you rest assured that he will be a general in the future?" After all, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. ”
Princess: "It's too small to talk about it now. If he still thinks like this when he grows up, I support it, but not all soldiers have to go into battle to kill the enemy in person. ”
Shen San asked, as a peace-loving person, there is still a sense of reverence for war, is it okay for everyone to live well? Why do you want to meet each other? "As long as he can live his life as he wants and do what he likes."
The princess said no more, this is different from her education, Li has always taught to be loyal to the country, and most people's ambitions are also subservient to the will of the state, and can only seek intersections between their own ideas and favorite things, and the policies of the country and the will of the king, and then achieve the goal. But Xiao Wen is his son, he can do whatever he wants.
Shen Sanwen was a little shaken again, "Princess, the leisurely life of the idle clouds and wild cranes, and the ups and downs above the temple, do you like that?" ”
Princess: "Above the temple, although there is intrigue, it controls the ancestral inheritance and the life and death of tens of millions of people, so I am reluctant to leave." ”
Well, to this day, I'm afraid I can't leave.
At this time, he suddenly received a letter from Zhang Yang, asking him to pay attention to the transportation of military rations in Beijing, Tubo has increased the army, and there is a sense that the victory or defeat will be determined in a war.
Originally, the two agreed to contact in English, but unfortunately, the English words of the situation could not be written at the level of the fourth level of publicity, so they had to be replaced by pinyin. Shen Sanwen seriously suspected that he might not understand an English letter he replied to, and after replying to the letter, he honestly added pinyin below.
Wu Sansi, the prime minister in charge of military rations in this battle, is he a person who can tell the difference, right? There should be no mistakes.
However, Shen Sanwen remembered that a big defeat in the Great Zhou and Tubo campaign, it seems that at this time, the whole army was wiped out by about 100,000 people, and the courtiers continued to slander and the defeat was too big, and the martial emperor no longer trusted the generals before. If Zhang Yang and Lou Shide respond to this catastrophe, Lou Shide's demotion is certain, Zhang Yang is afraid that it will be difficult to come back, and it will be difficult to come back.
It's just that this military ration is a matter for Wu Sansi, how can he manage it.
Ever since Sun Tzu proposed the use of the plan, all dynasties and generations have been cultivating information channels. The magnates of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not save money on this, and the mansions of the imperial court officials in various states and mansions were full of different informants. The ten people who were adopted before have all been sent to be placed next to important people, but Wu Sansi's mansion is strict, and it is really impossible to find it, and even Wu Sansi's information cannot be obtained, let alone the information of the military department?
It's okay if Wu Sansi didn't think about it, but if he really paid attention to the military rations, what could he do?
Shen San asked people to pass the word to Kang Shun, this matter still has to come to Junchen, if there is a mistake in the military rations, this is a great achievement.
The cats smell something fishy and move very quickly. Kang Shun said that this time the matter of grain and grass is very high, and the officials who handle it will inevitably have thoughts, and if it is found out, His Majesty's favor will definitely be even greater. Lai Junchen arrested the subordinate officials of the household department and a number of Wu Sansi's henchmen that night. Lai Junchen made good use of torture, and he was able to provoke everyone's psychology, and he was punished, and he had the first promise not to kill him truthfully, and it soon came to light.
Wu Sansi can be regarded as using his brain this time.
The transportation of grain in all dynasties was more complicated, not from the place of production to the battlefield, but from the granaries of the two capitals. Every year, the states collect taxes, intercept a small part, and transport the rest to the Beijing division twice a year, and then wait until the famine to fight, and then transfer it by the Beijing division. In this way, the financial power can be truly controlled by the central government, and the emperor can rest assured. Gaozong fought every year, the granary grain and grass did not survive, and several famines, Zhenguan's family was defeated, Emperor Wu worked hard, and in a few years, he finally filled some of the granaries in Luoyang and Chang'an, but it was about to be exhausted again.
The food and drink of 200,000 soldiers is different from the consumption in peacetime, and in peacetime a person only has two bowls of rations, but in wartime, he can eat four or five bowls, which is a hole that fills the dissatisfaction. Although Wu Sansi is a main battle faction, he can't see this group of moths that haven't moved for half a month so consumed, saying that half of the prepared half month's rations fell into Wu Sansi's pocket, according to Lou Jun's actual consumption, I'm afraid he can only eat for seven days. If there is a war, there will be a week of hunger.
The rations of 200,000 people, move a little, fill less in each bag, and fill some heavy objects, in fact, it is difficult to find, so Wu Sansi did it very easily.
Shen San was shocked, and Wu San was bold.
It's not a good thing to come to Junchen either. After receiving the news, he did not report to Emperor Wu as soon as possible, but visited Wu Sansi. Is this to share the spoils?
Shen San didn't care so much, and he didn't think about making this matter to Emperor Wu to discuss right and wrong, so he hurriedly pulled Prime Minister Di Renjie and ran to Wu Sansi's mansion.
At that time, Lai Junchen sat down and discussed with Wu Sansi that his house needed to be repaired, and someone came to report that there were two uninvited guests.
Lai Junchen didn't bother to avoid it, Di Renjie? What can he do with me.
When Di Renjie saw these two people, he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, Emperor Wu hated courtiers forming parties for personal gain, and the two of them were together, and they didn't know what was dirty. And since Shen Sanwen pulled him over, there must be a ghost, and then think about Wu Sansi's recent big responsibility.
Di Renjie said sharply, "Lord Wu, the old man was ordered by His Majesty to come to inquire about the preparation of grain and grass, this battle is very important, and there is no room for loss. The front-line soldiers, fighting for the honor of the Great Zhou, hope that the Wu people will supply the military supplies, do not let the soldiers chill, if there is a need, the old man can help. Lou Shuai is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he also has the intention of defending His Majesty, and he hopes that Lord Wu will act cautiously. I am equal to the court as an official, and I should be loyal to Your Majesty, and I dare not make mistakes. However, if someone is corrupt and perverts the law, for his own selfish interests, he disregards the life and death of the soldiers, and the safety of the country and society, the old man will definitely not take it lightly. ”
No one knows what he meant by Lou Shide's maintenance, what kind of kindness he meant, and whether it really exists. However, Di Renjie's meaning is very clear, if you dare to touch the grain and grass, Lou Shide will not let you go, and I will not let you go.
Shen Sanwen was very wise to pretend to be an ostrich next to him, and thought silently in his heart, I can't see me, I can't see me, I can't see me.
Wu Sansi was furious, "Master Di, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, just colleagues, not superiors and subordinates, and it is not your turn to order me, if this official does something bad, you can go to Your Majesty to join me, there is no need to be so sarcastic." Everyone in the world knows that you Lord Di is honest and honest, and you still behave well in front of Your Majesty, and there is no reward for performing here in this official. However, this official has to say that this is not the only Qing official in this world, Master Di, this official has been entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty, so he naturally values this country and society, and will not be entrusted with it. Master Di is so aggressive, putting this official in a place of disloyalty and injustice, and this official is just a treacherous villain in your eyes, so there is nothing to say. Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, and the humble house can't accommodate your big Buddha, Master Di walks slowly, and the official doesn't send it. Come, send off. ”
Wu Sansi unceremoniously gave the order to evict the guest, and Shen Sanwen hurriedly followed.
It's just that Wu Sansi was very unwilling in his heart, this matter was very hidden, and Lai Junchen arrested many people before he tortured them, how did Di Renjie know? It's all to blame for this Junchen, who is so dignified, to check what military salary.
But he couldn't offend Junchen, so he could only clear himself up and sigh, "Come on, Your Majesty has already asked about this matter, and this official can't make the decision." "It's really painful.
Lai Junchen slammed the teacup on the table, his face was pale, he knew it was so, it was better to go to him for a copy, and now he has visited the palace, and he can't explain it in front of Emperor Wu, so he is lucky. "The subordinate official is favored by the emperor, and here is the same as Lord Di, in order to supervise the grain and grass, Lord Wu must restrain himself, beware of his subordinates filling their own pockets, if someone commits a crime, this official will not be spared." The implication is that I can't get this money, if you dare to move, I will make you look good.
didn't get the benefits, and offended Di Renjie and Lai Junchen all at once, Wu Sansi's eyes were a little cold, it was really unreasonable.
However, since Di Renjie claimed to have been ordered by the emperor, Wu Sansi was still cautious and went to the palace to restore his life.
Wu Sansi: "Your Majesty asked Di Renjie about the food and salary for the western expedition, and it has been prepared, and Sansi has come to restore his life." It's just that Lou Shide led an army of 200,000 people, and he didn't move the army for half a month, so he didn't know what he wanted. ”
Emperor Wu nodded, although Di Renjie had something to transgress, he had a heart, and his previous prejudices of the Lord and his short-sightedness were a little lighter.
"Lou Qing has been fighting with Tubo for many years and has rich experience, so when to go to war is only an idea, and there is no need to worry about it. Lou Qing led the soldiers to fight outside, and I should be in the country to eliminate rumors for him, and I will not mention this again. The weather in Tibet is cold and the road is far away, and military supplies are the top priority, so think twice about being in charge of logistics and don't take it lightly. ”
Wu Sansi responded and respectfully withdrew.
After receiving this warning, he must not dare to take action.
Shen San asked a hanging heart but couldn't let go, and went to pry Di Renjie again, "Master Di, can you rest assured of this military need?" ”
Di Renjie: "The horse can be considered for the front-line soldiers, and the old man has thanked him here." It's just that the old man can't usurp his position and supervise Wu Sansi, can there be real evidence in the hands of the horse to prove that Wu Sansi does have a heart of disobedience? "In this matter, he is also powerless, and the military salary is really not deliberately interfering at will, otherwise it will be bad to delay the transportation. Unless it is supported by Lou Shide's testimony afterwards, there is no way to prevent it from happening.
Shen Sanwen had no choice but to insert ninja hands to ensure the smooth flow of information, and if there was a problem with the food supply, report it as soon as possible.
After discussing with Di Renjie and installing people, Wu Sansi must have known about it, and after getting the news of Shen Sanwen's participation, Wu Sansi was even more sure that Emperor Wu would send someone to supervise.
The food and salary have arrived without a penny, and it is more satisfactory than the military salary that was short of two catties in the past. Lou Shide recognized Emperor Wu's determination, and after a speech, morale was greatly boosted, and the court waited for them to triumph.
After half a year of fighting between the two armies, night attacks, open guns and hidden arrows, encirclement and counter-encirclement, array battles and guerrilla warfare, etc., the Zhou army finally won. Zhang Yang led the first soldiers to guerrilla warfare harassment, rushed to all parts of the plateau, caused great damage to the Tubo army, and also made a lot of contributions, the battle ended, smoothly had his own group of supporters in the army, Lou Shide also promoted him to lieutenant general.
After this battle, the young and middle-aged people of Tubo suffered heavy losses in combat power, Lou Shide took Tubo's surrender table, and the class returned to the dynasty, and Tubo promised not to invade the Great Zhou Dynasty for 20 years and not to harass the Western Regions. After many years abroad, he fought in Tuntian and finally returned to the prosperous political center, and Lou Shide had joys and sorrows in his heart. The joy is that he fought with Tibet for more than ten years, and finally won a big victory, and the sad thing is that he fought for more than ten years before it ended, from the prime of life to old age, it is difficult to have more than ten years in life.
When Lou Shide returned to Beijing, the imperial court happened to vacate two phases.
First, Cui Shenji was too conservative in many political affairs, and was disliked by Emperor Wu and deposed.
The second is that Di Renjie fell into a conspiracy carefully planned by Lai Junchen, was arrested and imprisoned, and confessed to rebellion. Then his son Di Guangyuan complained to Wu Zetian, and this obvious unjust case ended with Di Renjie being demoted to Pengze County. After that, Wu Chenghei asked for the killing of the thief Di Renjie twice in three days on the grounds that Di Renjie's influence was deep and widespread, and Emperor Wu refused every time. Since Di Renjie was demoted, Lai Junchen has never easily mentioned that someone is rebelling.
Lou Shide led the generals into Luoyang, and Emperor Wu personally went out of the city to greet him, and canonized Lou Shide as the prime minister on the spot.
The matter of Tubo has been completed, and there is no objection to the matter of sealing Zen.
