Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Bingzhou Chapter 247
"Master Feng, Master Zhang. Yesterday, my father praised the young king." Jingyang Palace, the residence of King Lu Ke of Shu, was not assigned a palace because he was still young. Therefore, Lu Zhaoci transferred Jingyang Palace to
It was given to him. He studied and practiced martial arts here. Feng Deyi had silver hair, and Zhang Xuansu had a thin face and sat there quietly.
"Hey, His Majesty the King of Shu, did your Majesty really ask about the handling of prisoners of war last night?" Feng Deyi looked at Zhang Xuansu opposite him in surprise, with a strange look in his eyes.
"Yes, my father inspected the princes. Haha, that warrior King Jing actually said that he would kill them all. I don't know how that old man Li Gang handed him over." Lu Ke explained what happened last night in detail, his face
A proud look appeared on his face.
"This is not something Li Gang taught him, I'm afraid he thought of it himself." Zhang Xuansu shook his head and said: "Li Gang advocates Confucianism and would not do such a killing. This must be King Jing's decision.
." As he spoke, he lightly glanced at Feng Deyi opposite him. Although he was designated by Lu Zhaoci as the teacher of King Shu, he suddenly changed from an outsider to a person in the game. Fortunately, although King Lu Ke of Shu
He is smart and smart, but more importantly, he is similar to his father in nature and can accept any advice as long as it makes sense. It is still very good to have such a disciple. Unlike Lu Chengsi, King of Jing, one glance
He was irritable by nature and did not listen to others. He thought he had mastered Lu Zhaoci's character, so he ignored Li Gang's suggestions and went on a killing spree, not knowing that this was completely contrary to Lu Zhaoci's theory of governing the country.
"Today's Emperor is a wise king who has not appeared for hundreds of years. He can conquer the world on a horse. But more importantly, your Majesty does not believe that he can rule the world on a horse. Therefore, since he succeeded to the throne, he has held imperial examinations and established academies.
That's it. More importantly, the imperial power was divided and centralized, and the Xuande Hall was set up to free the emperor from the tedious government affairs. The main energy can be devoted to the places that His Majesty considers to be the most important. More importantly, Xuande Hall
Although the position of the palace is high and powerful, the most important power is still in the hands of His Majesty. Hehe, these principles cannot be learned or achieved from a horse. King Jing, hehe, it is still a little bit behind.
" Zhang Xuansu showed a look of pride on his face.
Feng Deyi also nodded. These people have knowledge of the world and are accustomed to the art of slaying dragons. Throughout the day, they put most of their thoughts on understanding the thoughts of today's emperor. I have to say that it is still
It's somewhat effective.
"Although His Majesty the Crown Prince is kind, His Majesty's prestige is too high, and what is left to him may not necessarily be a good thing. Whether he can suppress His Majesty's arrogant and powerful generals in the future is also a question!" Zhang Xuansu nodded again.
Dao. Feng Deyi's eyes lit up. Yes, the Tang Dynasty valued military merit. Lu Zhaoci had thirty direct disciples. These people have now taken root in the army. Even Li Jing, a great general, did not dare to take it lightly when he met these people.
, after all, these people unite to form a very powerful force, controlling a large number of the imperial army. These people are loyal to Lu Zhaoci, but they are not necessarily loyal to his prince. Most military generals worship the strong.
Lu Zhaoci is not only their teacher, but also a strong man, so they can be used by Lu Zhaoci. But the prince is different. He is weak by nature and prefers literary affairs. Can these people help these people with peace of mind? Who can do this?
There is no guarantee either.
"His Highness is interested in the fact that His Majesty was able to conquer the country because of the army, so he focused on developing in the army. His Royal Highness is still too kind. Such people are not a blessing to the empire." Feng Deyi sighed and said.
: "There is a powerful uncle outside! So Your Majesty is in a difficult situation now. If you want to support the prince to come to power, the first person you must get rid of is the uncle, who is already in the Guandong family. In this way, when the prince takes charge of the country, he will
It will not allow the family to rise again. But if the prince's strength is to be weakened too much, the princes may not be well-intentioned, so your majesty will be in a dilemma. If your majesty was not still in his prime in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the princes are still young, I am afraid that the court would have already
There is a big turmoil." As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Ke who was on the side. Unexpectedly, Lu Ke's expression remained unchanged and he did not take Zhang Xuansu's words to heart at all...
"I just don't know how my father will treat the Turkic prisoners?" Lu Ke looked at Feng Deyi with a smile, but he changed the subject in an instant.
Feng Deyi and Zhang Xuansu looked at each other, but shook their heads and said: "Your Highness, maybe Your Majesty will use the methods you mentioned, but he will not use them all. He must be mixed with other methods. If not,
If you guess wrong, I'm afraid most of the methods mentioned by His Highness the King of Yue will be used."
"Changsun Wuji?" Lu Ke's face stiffened when he heard this, and he blurted out involuntarily.
"That's right, His Royal Highness the King of Yue couldn't have thought of such evil and clever tricks." Zhang Xuansu was about to say the word "evil", but when he thought that Lu Zhaoci might use this strategy, he immediately changed his mind to "evil".
Great idea.
"Your Majesty defeated Jieli in the first battle. Jieli would not have been able to return to its heyday without the efforts of eight or nine years. In the past few years, His Highness still has to accumulate strength and cannot act rashly. At this time, the arrow will shoot the first bird!" Feng
Deyi sighed softly. With Lu Zhaoci, the heroic master, above his head, although the ministers who follow him will be famous in history in the future, it is also very difficult to be his ministers. Take a look.
Cen Wenwen is just around his age, and his head has already turned white. Cui Renshi prides himself on being a romantic, but now he feels a little powerless. Although Du Ruhui saved Sun Simiao's life due to confusion, his health is also very bad now. Xuande
The location of the palace is so eye-catching. It can be said that it is the ultimate aspiration of the courtiers. The seven auxiliary ministers are so high and high. Look, Wei Ting only has a name in it, and they are all respected by the courtiers. But in these
Behind the scenery, no one noticed the hard work involved. Every move of these people was related to everything in the court. A blue pen weighed a thousand kilograms. It was pressed on everyone's heads, making them breathless.
"Junior understands." Lu Ke nodded lightly.
"Tell me, what should we do?" In the Xuande Hall, the seven auxiliary ministers were arranged on both sides, headed by Cen Wenwen and Cui Renshi. Although Changsun Wuji was still the same as before, he had no substantial official position, but in Xuande Hall
He still has his place.
"I think the prince's words are very reasonable." Cui Renshi stood up, cupped his hands and said: "The Han people in the Central Plains and the grassland peoples are feuding. The Central Plains dynasties have always adopted two policies towards the grassland peoples: war and peace. The Central Plains people have two policies: war and peace.
When the nation was strong, it was about conquest, so there was the matter of Wei Huo. When the strength of the Central Plains was weak, there was the matter of reconciliation, such as before Emperor Wu. However, no matter which method was used, in the end, it was impossible to rule the grassland for a long time and maintain it.
Peace between the grasslands and the Central Plains. This is certainly related to the treachery of the grassland peoples, but it has a lot to do with the policies adopted by the successive dynasties of the Central Plains. When thinking about the Shu Han, Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times, effectively ensuring that the Shu Han
The stability of the southwestern frontier. Whether it is the King of Shu or the King of Yue, the methods used are contrary to the saint's way of forgiveness. They are similar to the previous dynasties. In the end, the results must be the same. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince adheres to
This is the reason for the forgiveness of the saint. I believe that if we follow the method taught by the prince, we will be able to ensure the stability of the border for a long time, truly make the grassland belong to our court, and bring it into the rule of our court.
It will surely create great achievements for His Majesty through the ages!"
"Master Cui, don't forget that after Meng Huo died, his son still rebelled." At this time, a cold voice came over. Wei Ting had a sarcastic look on his face.
"You?" Cui Renshi's expression changed and he looked at Wei Ting coldly.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Wei Ting didn't care at all about Cui Renshi's murderous gaze, and just raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, even a child knows that those who offend a strong man will be punished no matter how far away they are, let alone us, Jie.
Li Zongheng has been in the grassland for many years and is the great enemy of our dynasty. If these people are released, wouldn't it increase the opponent's strength? I think that all such treacherous people should be killed to serve our dynasty.
Revenge for the soldiers who died in this battle." Wei Ting spoke righteously, with a righteous look on his face. Everyone looked at Wei Ting. Although Wei Ting was also a member of Xuande Hall, he rarely expressed his own opinions, and like
Situations like this today are even rarer. Although the words did not accuse Cui Renshi or the prince's cowardice, he seemed to be expressing his own opinions and not targeting Cui Renshi, but the implication was to support the great leader.
Prince Jing Wang Lu Chengsi’s…
"Could it be that this Wei Ting has already taken refuge with King Jing?" Everyone was secretly wary, thinking that King Jing's life experience is that she is the daughter of the Yin family, and she belongs to the Guanlong family. It is also true that such a person supports Lu Chengsi.
It is possible. Wei Ting is not alone. Since entering the Xuande Hall, he has become the head of the Guanlong family. On the contrary, although Changsun Wuji is also a member of the Guanlong family, in the harem, Changsun Wuji is very
Although Wei Ting was favored, he offended the Guanlong family so much back then that he is not welcome in the Guanlong family now. Once Wei Ting supports King Jing, does it mean that the Guanlong family is also supporting King Jing?
"Auxiliary machine, what do you think?" Lu Zhaoci felt annoyed. It was originally a small matter, but he didn't expect it to become a big deal here. Is the disposal of prisoners really so important? Lu Zhaoci was right
The people in front of me felt suspicious.
"There is no wiser person than Your Majesty, as long as this matter is beneficial to the court." Changsun Wuji thought for a while and said respectfully.
"Cunning!" Master Cui Ren glanced coldly at the fat man opposite him, and cursed secretly in his heart. But soon, several more voices sounded in the hall, and Master Cui Ren was immediately thrown into the ice cave.
"I second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
But Cen Wenwen, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng also spoke out. Their expressions were extremely respectful. With their heads lowered, they couldn't see clearly the expressions on their faces.
"It was originally a small thing but it turned out to be so troublesome. All of you who are knowledgeable and able to enter the Xuande Hall are all leaders among ministers. How can you handle things? You are not even as good as two children." Lu Zhaoci
He sighed and said: "What the auxiliary machine said is true. When you enter the Xuande Hall, every move you make must be based on the interests of the empire. Whatever is beneficial to the empire, you should use whatever method you want. You cannot do it because of personal grudges.
Tired of state affairs. Imagine that the king of Yue, at a young age, actually knew that the other party was defeated, so he would punish them. Imagine the king of Shu, since he lost the war, he would have to pay compensation. Is the country's loss in vain? If you are wary, you will have to pay compensation.
Destroy? Humph, if the war continues like this, the interests of the empire will be sacrificed. Naturally, it will become poorer and poorer as the war continues, because the empire does not benefit from the war. It only sees the food in Taicang being continuously transported to the front line, and only sees households.
We constantly rewarded the soldiers with our own money, but we never thought about how to make the other party pay for all this, how to pass these things on to other people, to the losing side of the war. Let the other party pay for our losses. Only in this way, the war
Only by bringing benefits to the court and the people of the empire can we continuously expand our territory and form a virtuous cycle."
"I understand." When the ministers heard this, their hearts moved, and their faces showed different expressions. Wei Zheng was about to open his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say, so he lowered his head and followed the ministers.
Lu Zhaoci sighed. Although the ministers did not agree with these theories of his, the Confucian idea of repaying evil with virtue has deeply influenced these people. If he were not the emperor, if any courtier proposed this strategy, I am afraid that
He had long been drowned in the saliva of the imperial censors. But Lu Zhaoci wanted to spread this idea deep into the empire. Only in this way can the bloody spirit in the hearts of the Han nation be maintained and continue to inspire future monarchs.
Not being a conservative king will prevent those kings who are eager to expand their territories from causing large-scale wars to plunge the empire into a state of turmoil, so that future kings will not be fools like Yang Guang. Even more so.
There will be no embarrassing situation like that of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, where they were victorious but victorious and defeated despite being undefeated.
"That's it! Send people to the grassland to see Jieli and ask him to redeem these 100,000 troops! I guess at this time, he still urgently needs these people to go back. I follow the saint's way of forgiveness and treat him
Let bygones be bygones, these people will eat a lot of food if they stay in the Tang Dynasty, which is a burden to the Tang Dynasty. This burden should not be borne by the Tang Dynasty, but should be paid by Jie Li, and
, for the loss of Datang this time, let him give you a symbolic reward! Not much, 10 million yuan." Lu Zhaoci looked extremely relaxed, but it made the seven auxiliary ministers in Xuande Hall tremble with fear, and they all cried out for him.
Jieli mourns.
