Chapter Seventy-Seven: Brother Taibai, Master Hanlin is unyielding
Li Bai's words are thought-provoking, especially Li Shimin, the Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
Could it be that my Datang is now just full of flowers on his face, in fact, the well-educated people have been suppressed for a long time and have no way to serve the country, and the upward channel has been controlled by the Shangpin clan for a long time like the Wei and Jin dynasties?
The Tang Dynasty, which has a bright surface of donkey dung and eggs, gives Li Shimin a sense of crisis.
Li Qing and Li Shimin glanced at each other, and after seeing the worry in the latter's eyes, he raised his head and suddenly asked: "Brother Taibai, if you are given a county of land, the county is poor, and the people are poor, and the people are poor, but there are a number of historic sites, bordering Luoyang in the north and Jingzhao in the west, how should you lead the whole county to get rid of poverty and become rich and live a good life?" ”
Li Bai was still there with no way to serve the country with grief and indignation, but when he suddenly heard such a question, he didn't know how to answer the CPU overclocked in his brain for a long time.
"Ah......h
Li Shimin glanced at Li Qing meaningfully, and then asked a question: "Brother Taibai, if you are the right prime minister and the Zhongshu Order, with the intensification of land annexation, the enslavement is heavy, and the uniform land system is gradually abolished, what is your best way to solve this dilemma?" ”
Li Bai: "Uh(⊙o⊙)......"
"Brother Taibai, Southwest Tibet is becoming stronger and stronger, and it has become a problem for the Tang Dynasty, but there is a good way to get rid of this big trouble for my Datang?" Li Qing continued to ask.
Li Bai sat back on the recliner and began to think about life: "Hmm...... Let me think about it......"
"Brother Taibai, the matter of the three armies, grain and grass are the most important, let you lead an army to conquer the Khitan traitors, how to ensure the logistics supply, so that the army will not have worries?" Li Shimin asked the question again.
"Well, this ......" Li Bai began to scratch his ears and cheeks.
Li Qing took out a map of the territory of Tianbao's fourteenth year, unfolded it to Li Bai and said: "Brother Taibai, this is my map of the Tang Dynasty, the territory of the country has been filled with color blocks, please try to fill in the country name corresponding to the land." ”
After staring at the map for a long time, it felt like a book from heaven, and Li Bai sighed: "Don't say it...... Don't say it......"
He waved his hand again and again like a horse bureau, but the horse bureau was wise and foolish, and Li Bai was pure and innocent, and he really didn't know what to say.
"Brother Taibai?" Li Shimin learned from the tone of his virtuous brother Li Qing, and teased him with a pun: "Bachelor Hanlin is not condescending. ”
Good guys, you two are torturing Li Bai in this doubles, right?
Don't care what's going on, Li Qing is very cool now, quite cool.
Presumably, Li Bai's mood now is the same as Lao Tzu's mood when he couldn't recite "Sleepwalking in the Sky and Leaving Farewell" in front of the teacher.
Cool! Li Qing was in a good mood, as refreshing as drinking a bottle of cold Coke on a dog day. After many years, the revenge has finally been avenged, and it is still the kind of heart-wrenching, which is really cool.
Hearing Li Shimin's ridicule, Li Bai said unconvinced: "I studied under Master Zhao when I was a child, and what I learned was the art of vertical and horizontal......"
"Vertical and horizontal?" Li Shimin pinched his beard and asked: "Then let me ask you another question, if you are in the Gaozong Dynasty and let Tubo invade Tuyuhun at this time, and Tuyuhun enters the court to ask for assistance, if it is you, how should you deal with it?" ”
"We should hoe the strong and help the weak, and help Tuyuhun resist Tubo!"
Li Bai immediately said, in his opinion, this problem is simply too simple, even a fool like Yang Guozhong would do it.
Then again, when he wanted to break his head, he didn't expect that Gaozong Li Zhi would let Tubo swallow Tuyuhun, no matter what angle he started, he couldn't figure it out.
Li Shimin was noncommittal, but looked at Li Zhi, wanting to see if he would make the same choice as him in history.
"What do you think, childish?"
Li Zhi gritted his mouth with a toothless tooth and smiled: "I will give them all support except help......"
Li Shimin and Li Qing glanced at each other, and shouted in unison: "Hit him!" ”
The tooth fell out Li Zhi was beaten again and again in pain, and he shouted loudly: "Why hit me!" Isn't that so? Woowoo woo ......"
He doesn't understand, he really doesn't understand, let them bite the dog, and it's no good to help, so why be thankless?
"Brother Taibai, let me ask you, why do you want to help Tuyuhun?" Li Qing took Li Zhi and put it aside, looked at Li Bai and asked.
Li Bai said without hesitation: "Of course, it is for the sake of moral ...... to hoe the strong and help the weak."
"You are indeed suitable to be a Hanlin Scholar, Brother Taibai." Li Qing stretched out his hand and groaned: "In any case, we should consider the problem from the perspective of Datang, and it is indeed appropriate to help Tuyuhun, but in fact, it is not out of morality, but because it is beneficial to Datang to do so." ”
"You should have heard the story of the sandpiper and the clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman, and what we have to do is to make the Tubo sandpiper and the Tuyuhun mussel reach a balance, so that we can profit from it. When Tubo has the upper hand, he will help Tuyuhun, and when Tuyuhun has the upper hand, he will help Tubo and not let the family dominate. ”
"Of course, when the edict is issued, it should indeed be declared for the sake of morality." Li Shimin added.
"This ...... Isn't it necessary to let people know the facts? Li Bai began to doubt life, "such as why he helped a certain party." ”
"Of course not, the facts only complicate things." Li Shimin smiled and took the Coke handed over by Li Qing, "The literati of the Hanlin Academy, the Ministry of Rites, and the people just want to know who is the good guy and who is the bad guy." The problem is that the guarantee of national interests will always involve striking some kind of deal with the side that the people consider to be the bad guys, and there will also be good people who do us nothing good after helping to stand by, so foreign affairs are generally decided by the Zaifu of Zhongshu Province, and finally handed over to others to execute. ”
"Understood, it seems that I learned this vertical and horizontal technique in the belly of a dog, and I am so stupid......" Li Bai couldn't help but sigh and began to doubt life.
Isn't it really this piece of material? Maybe His Majesty let himself stay in Zhao Hanlin in order to protect himself, instead of participating in state affairs?
"Oh, don't think so, Brother Taibai." Li Qing comforted Li Bai with deep sympathy, "At least you can still recognize this, can't you?" ”
"Do you praise me or scold me?" Li Bai squinted at Li Qing.
After a while, he suddenly realized: "No, the two of you have such a talent in the sky, why are they the same as Bai, stumbling in the countryside?" ”
Li Qing squeezed his eyes at Li Bai with evil taste: "Guess? ”
Li Shimin, who heard these two words, immediately recalled the night when he first met his virtuous brother, and couldn't help but smile.
"The ancients often said that there are sages in the countryside, and they don't deceive me." Li Bai sighed: "I, Li Bai, boast that I have learned only a lot, and today I know that what I have learned can only be used to make the wind and the moon, and I can learn to moan without illness...... That's it, that's it. ”
