, the military generals went to the battlefield, fought bloody battles, sacrificed their lives, opened up frontiers and expanded their empire, and made great achievements. The court naturally wanted to reward them, and it was also appropriate for them to be made generals and marquises. But the civil servants stayed in the court,
Although the merits are there, they are not as obvious as those of the generals. What's more, the generals are worried about their lives, while the civil servants have carriages to go in and out, and they have high-quality food to eat and drink. They are in peace all day long, and their lives are far better than those of the generals.
It's much easier, as long as you have a high-ranking official and a good salary. If you want to be granted a title, I'm afraid it will be difficult. This is also a normal thing. Why did it turn into such a [talk] when you get outside?" Lu Chenglie sneered.
.His eyes flashed with cold light, obviously he was very angry at this kind of discussion.
"Your Highness, please don't forget that when Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, commented on the heroes, he said that Xiao He, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, was the leader of the heroes. From this, it can be seen that civil servants can also be granted the title of marquis."
Di Renjie said calmly.
"Xiao He is Xiao He, and the Xiao He of that time is the Cen Wenwen of today. But after Xiao He of that year, how many civil servants can be granted the title of marquis? The emperor of the Han Dynasty once said that no one can be granted the title of a marquis without military merit. Although our court did not say that one cannot be granted a title without military merit.
Hou's [Word] theory, but relatively speaking, it is much easier for generals to be granted the title of marquis. Who can let the father advocate the attack? In this way, the generals will naturally have more opportunities to be granted the title of marquis."
Lu Chenglie said nonchalantly.
"Your Highness, despite what you said, please don't forget, the more titles you have, the greater your power will be. Moreover, the generals will also think that the court should launch war every year. In this way, everyone will have a title.
This is your opportunity." Di Renjie said with a smile, "It's not that Wei Zheng and others don't understand this truth. They are admonishing Your Majesty that resorting to force and force is not conducive to the rule of the court and the stability of the country. Haha! In fact, it is not conducive to the rule of the court and the stability of the country.
, the life and death of a Zhang Yifeng is not in their eyes."
, "But in Gu's view, Zhang Yifeng's life and death is a big deal." Lu Chenglie straightened his expression, shook his head, and said: "All the people in the world are the subjects of my father, and they will also be Gu's subjects in the future.
Whether she is a singer in a brothel, or a scholar who is well-read in poetry and books! These people are all people of the Tang Dynasty. If these people are sent here and there as gifts, the royal family will not care about them.
But there is no clear attitude towards the matter. How do you want the people of the world to treat my father and the emperor in the future?"
Di Renjie's expression changed when he heard this. He had thought of everything, but he had never thought of this, because the two of them were in different positions. Lu Chenglie is the current prince and the future emperor, and he thinks about the problem from the height
They are also different. Di Renjie only looked at the problem from the perspective of civil servants and generals, but Lu Chenglie looked at the problem from the perspective of the country. What he saw was naturally much more profound than what Di Renjie saw.
"His Highness's words are thought-provoking, and I can't even compare them to others." Di Renjie said quickly and seriously.
"In the eyes of you people, everything in the world has a hierarchy. Common people are common people, officials are officials, and prostitutes are prostitutes. For the sake of so-called benevolence and righteousness, you don't consider other people's feelings at all. But in the eyes of a lonely person," the world's
The people are all the same, there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority." Lu Chenglie shook his head and said: "Zhang Yifeng seems to have saved the lives of the people in Songzhou City, but in fact, all this cannot withstand scrutiny.
As long as Zhang Yifeng resists a little bit, the hundreds of thousands of stones of food and grass will not be lost, and the dozen brothel girls will not be wasted by being given to the Tubo people like goods. If it is true that one woman can buy peace.
If so," then the father could have chosen a woman in the palace, canonized her as a princess, and asked her to get married. Wouldn't it have saved the two sides from adding weapons to each other? I could have predicted that if Xue Rengui's troops could not cross the Minjiang River, wouldn't it?
, No matter how much food and grass and how many beautiful women Songzhou City sends, it will be of no use."
Di Renjie remained silent, because this also made Lu Chenglie right. As long as Songzhou City is broken, everything in Songzhou City will still belong to him? And what he will get will only be more. This Zhang Yifeng looks benevolent and righteous.
But now he seems to be a timid and cowardly person.
"I heard that Zhang Yifeng was good at Huang-Lao's art. It seems to be unreasonable now. In the early years of the Han Dynasty, wasn't it the time when Huang-Lao's art was rampant? The whole Han Dynasty advocated the policy of fraternity, and the Han people
The backbone was crushed. Only during the period of Emperor Wu, when Confucian scholars, inner kings and outer sages were reused to conquer the Xiongnu, could the later Han Dynasty come into existence. If the Tang Dynasty wants to advocate Huang Lao's skills, it should give them to the Tubo people.
One princess after another, in exchange for a temporary peace, the Tubo people will think that the Tang Dynasty is weak and can be bullied, and they will constantly harass the borders of the Tang Dynasty and encroach on the territory of the Tang Dynasty step by step...
Humph, the peace of a dynasty needs a woman to exchange her breasts for it. Do you think you are ashamed or not?" Di Renjie's face turned red when he was told that. In fact, it was not only Zhang Yifeng or Wei Zheng, but also Di Renjie.
Those dozen brothel girls didn't take it to heart, but now that Lu Chenglie said it, they were immediately ashamed.
, "Your Highness, this matter is easy to handle. As long as the order is given to bring Zhang Yifeng back to Beijing, the matter can be solved. However, Your Highness, Xue Rengui is also suspected of interfering in local political affairs!" Di Renjie said softly.
, "Interfering in local political affairs? I think, if possible, there should be more generals like Xue Rengui." Lu Chenglie said disdainfully... He is not interfering, but making suggestions. To his superiors, to the court
Yan reflected everything he saw. You see, he has done something excessive. He still adheres to the duty of a general, and he has not taken a step forward." Di Renjie on the side laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this. This Xue Rengui
He didn't have a thunderous step, but what he did was smarter than any other general, and he controlled the entire city silently. Even if Zhang Yifeng made any moves, he couldn't do it. He was said to interfere in local political affairs.
But it doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense to say that he is very honest! Just like Zhang Yifeng, he gave a vague "answer" for people to puzzle over. But he also secretly sighed that Xue Rengui met His Highness the Crown Prince, otherwise
If so, how could he be allowed to succeed like this?
, "Your Highness, there are many imperial students outside the palace petitioning." At this moment, the guard of the East Palace suddenly broke in and said loudly.
"Petition? Why petition?" Lu Chenglie's face suddenly showed surprise when he heard this.
Even Di Renjie looked at the guard in surprise.
, "They all said that Zhang Yifeng was capable of handling officials, but General Xue Rengui was domineering.
He also asked the imperial court to reward such a capable minister." The guard of the East Palace did not dare to neglect and said quickly.
"Can ministers become officials? What a joke." Lu Chenglie sneered, "If that were the case, there would be no corrupt officials in the world. What a joke."
, "Your Highness, these imperial students are the pillars of the country!" Qiu Renjie said softly. In fact, he still had one sentence he didn't say, that is, these imperial students are the middle force of the future civil servant group, enough to represent one party's forces.
, offending them, although the position of the East Palace will not be affected, it will also be a big blow to Lu Chenglie. If possible, Di Renjie naturally advised Lu Chenglie not to offend these people.
, "Zhang Yifeng was able to write a letter and come here, I'm afraid he had a plan a long time ago. I think these people will not let him, the person who saved Songzhou City, be wronged in the slightest." Lu Chenglie frowned and snorted:,
"This old Master Wei is really powerful. He actually thought of doing something like this to make me do something good." Lu Chenglie couldn't help but feel a little resentment towards Wei Zheng.
Di Renjie glanced at Lu Chenglie, shook his head, and said, "Although Mr. Wei Ge has a stubborn temper, he is upright and aboveboard. Otherwise, Your Majesty would not have let him serve as an admonishment doctor for so many years. How can he regulate the world if he is not upright?"
?He wouldn't do such a thing."
, "Then how did this matter leak out?" Lu Chenglie asked dissatisfied.
, "Haha, Your Majesty, although Xuande Palace is an important place, except for important military and state affairs, you have seen many other things well hidden. In Chang'an City, there are almost no secrets at all. That is Xu Ge
As long as you stay in the wine shop for a while, you can hear clearly which concubine I rested in last night. So I dare to conclude that this matter is definitely not spread by Wei Ge."
, "Who could that be?" Lu Chenglie snorted coldly: "The news couldn't have leaked out on its own!" Lu Chenglie had a sneer on his face.
Di Renjie's expression changed, and he suddenly thought of a possibility. His expression changed involuntarily, but Lu Chenglie noticed it. He immediately stood up, looked out the window, and said softly: "Huaiying, it's just you and me here."
, although you and I are monarchs and ministers, we are actually like good friends. If you have anything to say, just say it directly!"
"Your Highness, there are only two people who have this possibility." Di Renjie whispered: "One is Mr. Xu Ge, and the other is Zhang Yifeng himself."
"How?" Lu Chenglie's heart moved and he asked in surprise.
"Mr. Xu Ge only cares about the results when doing things, and does not care about the process. When doing things, it is inevitable that the methods are somewhat unacceptable. There are rumors that he and Mr. Wei Ge are at odds, and it is difficult to rule out that he took the opportunity to frame Mr. Wei Ge.
It's possible." Di Renjie whispered...
"What about Zhang Yifeng? How does this matter have anything to do with him? He is far away in Songzhou, can his influence actually reach Chang'an?" Lu Chenglie asked curiously. Obviously, Di Renjie's first guess was still relatively good.
I agree, but I don’t dare to agree with the last guess.
"Your Highness, Songzhou is close to Tubo. Although Tubo is very poor, it is undeniable that there are many things there that the Central Plains lack. And there are many things in the Central Plains that the other side wants. It is said that there are many traders in Songzhou
.Although the land is barren, there are many wealthy households. Over the years, His Majesty has encouraged business development, and the wealthy households in Songzhou have also risen in this way. Most of these merchants have a close relationship with Chang'an." Di Renjie shook his head and said:
, "There are many officials in the court who have colluded with these businessmen. That Zhang Yifeng is the governor of Songzhou, and he often interacts with those merchants. It is inevitable that someone in the court will look after him. But this matter is too shocking.
, I am just guessing, and there is no actual evidence. Your Highness can only listen to it. If there is anything inappropriate, Your Highness will pretend that you have never heard of it." "No, what you said is not unreasonable." Lu Chenglie.
Suddenly asked: "How old is Zhang Yifeng now?"
, "Having passed the age, Hu Renjie blurted out: "It's time to become an official."
"How many years has he been the governor of Songzhou?" Lu Chenglie nodded and said.
, "It has been twenty years. This man was born in Songzhou and was famous in Songzhou." Di Renjie's expression suddenly changed. In the Tang Dynasty, there were regulations that local officials were not allowed to hold official positions in Sangzi.
After the expiration date, he must be transferred to another place, and he can only be re-elected once at most, which means six years. But Zhang Yifeng stayed in Songzhou for twenty years. This is obviously against common sense. It is also not allowed, but this is
The fact of existence made Di Renjie alert. He looked at Lu Chenglie with his eyes wide open.
"I was also surprised how he did it. If he could do this in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, I would have understood. At that time, the system between the DPRK and China was not sound." Regarding the remote border areas
The intensity of control is also relatively small, and the father pays little attention to those places, but now that so much time has passed, how can this situation still happen? Zhang Yifeng has stayed in Songzhou for twenty years, haha
"Sometimes, an emperor may not be in power for twenty years! These twenty years are enough for him to do many things." Lu Chenglie sneered.
"I heard that Zhang Yifeng had a good relationship with the local Tibetan people, and his daughter married the leader of a local tribe." Di Renjie said softly.
"Let's go, let's go." Lu Chenglie said softly: "Now I believe your second inference. Although Mr. Wei Ge is a little less knowledgeable, he still agrees with his personality.
"He can't do anything like leaking court secrets. Although Xu Jingzong is criticized as a person, he knows what can and cannot be done. Once he is investigated for leaking court secrets, he will be the King of Liang back then."
My uncle was also reprimanded by his father, not to mention Xu Jingzong. What's more, this is suspected of framing his colleagues. "Xu Jingzong wouldn't dare to do it. In this case, I'm afraid it's only Zhang Yifeng himself. Just like you
As he said, his interests are already entangled with the interests of some officials in the DPRK. So once he is in danger, these people will protect him in order to protect their own interests. No wonder he can
After staying in Songzhou for such a long time. In order to protect your own interests, who is willing to let this person go, because you still don’t know whether the next person will cooperate with you! It’s better to keep him, everyone can benefit.
. Damn it, damn it, what a bunch of royal worms.
Lu Chenglie clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
"Your Highness, these people are well hidden!" Qiu Renjie said softly: "And if Zhang Yifeng relies on this matter, I'm afraid he won't be able to do anything to him. Although he is suspected of being an enemy, Your Highness, don't forget,
It is also a fact that Songzhou City was saved. Everyone in the world believes that Zhang Yifeng has meritorious service and will not pursue whether Xue Rengui's army will betray his trust once Xue Rengui's army cannot cross the Minjiang River, or after the Tubo army stands firm on the west bank of the Minjiang River.
Let’s continue to capture Songzhou. After all, it didn’t happen. In the eyes of the world, how can the lives of 300,000 stones of food and grass and a dozen brothel girls be compared with the lives of hundreds of thousands of people? What’s more, there are many wealthy people in Songzhou City.
The combined assets of this household are enough to buy millions of stones of grain and grass. These people will only consider these things. Your Highness, if you find this excuse to deal with Zhang Yifeng, the world will be dissatisfied, and the world will remember Zhang Yifeng.
This name is also very unfavorable to General Xue Rengui."
"Thank you Huaiying for reminding me." Lu Chenglie breathed out, nodded, and relaxed his fists. He just shook his head again and said, "But what about the Imperial College affairs outside? Zhang Yifeng is far away in Songzhou.
To be continued...
