If so, Yang Guang would not be so impatient.He waited for the humble scholars who started the course to gain a firm foothold in the local government or the court. I am afraid that history will look different.

Li Jiancheng didn't know that the aristocratic family who gave him and Li Yuan a headache finally fell into the hands of Wu Zetian.

The method Wu Zetian used at that time was actually very simple. It was to pull one faction against another, just like boiling frogs in warm water.

PS: I went back to Beijing today. Due to the National Day holiday, Lao Cheng couldn’t buy a bus ticket, and the ticket was too expensive, so I had to buy a bus ticket. It lasts for [-] hours. Whether it can be renewed or not is still unclear.The recent update is not good enough, I really have no face, please support me!

Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "His Royal Highness, now nine out of ten have been ruled by the Tang Dynasty, so who is the next enemy of the Li family?"

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng's words, and he really wanted to say Li Yi or Du Fuwei, but neither Li Yi nor Du Fuwei was qualified to be the enemy of Datang.Li Yi and Du Fuwei have already proclaimed their ministers, and the titles of monarchs and ministers have been determined.Both of them have one characteristic in common. As ministers of the Li family, even if they feel unwilling, they can only beg for a rich man, and they don't have to expect extravagant power.If the two of them do not know how to advance or retreat, there is only one dead end.

At this moment, Li Jiancheng's complexion changed slightly: "The aristocratic family in Guanzhong?"

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "It's not Guanzhong, but the aristocratic families and powerful families in the world!"

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he felt depressed for a while.Sharing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats was actually Li Tang's founding policy. In fact, without the support of the aristocratic family, Li Tang could not enter Guanzhong, let alone win the world.Even if Li Jiancheng and Li Tang's soldiers will be able to fight again, what can they do if they have no soldiers and no food?

It's not that Datang has never been defeated, but so what if he loses?With the support of the aristocratic family and powerful families, the defeat of Qianshuiyuan cost [-] troops, but it took three or four months to make up for it. In the Battle of Luoyang, another [-] troops were lost, but in less than three months. Within a short period of time, Li Tang also replenished the lost troops, and with each victory after another, Li Tang became stronger and stronger.

Li Jiancheng is a generous person, he really doesn't want to go back on his word, break his promise, and break the trust of the world.

Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng's hesitation, and with Wei Zheng's head, he could easily imagine Li Jiancheng's pain.If the Li Tang court is compared to a company, then these aristocratic families are not only the shareholders of the Li Tang court, but also the company's veterans.But as Li Tang's company's plate became bigger and bigger, these company veterans began to become greedy and unscrupulous.

Put prominent positions on your own people, and use mediocre and incompetent people as important positions. As the saying goes, an incompetent general will kill the three armies, an incompetent general will kill the soldiers of the three armies, an incompetent official, or an official with a crooked butt , It will harm the people of a state or a county.If there are only a few mediocre and incompetent officials in the world, it is not terrible, and it will not have a fatal impact on the Li and Tang courts. But once this kind of generals do not know soldiers, and the book does not know the book, it will be good for a company or a court. , that is the catastrophe.

Li Jiancheng smiled wryly: "Xuancheng, how do you think I should choose?"

"His Royal Highness, on the one hand, he is a family leader who has made no achievements, and on the other hand, he is a soldier who threw his head and blood for the Li family of the Tang Dynasty!" Wei Zheng stared into Li Jiancheng's eyes, and said slowly: "Your Highness, do you choose?" Offend the world's powerful families, or choose to offend thousands of soldiers, hundreds of millions of people?"

Li Jiancheng did not hesitate: "The Guanlong gentry, for meritorious deeds, shouldn't be rewarded at all!"

Wei Zheng was speechless for a while, and finally said slowly: "But would King Qin think so? Would people in the world think so?"

Li Jiancheng said: "The matter of the imperial examinations and prosecutors can be slowed down. The most terrible thing now is the land. I am afraid that the aristocratic family will encourage all the officials to go to the Taiji Palace."

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "Knock on the que? That's forcing His Majesty, and it won't hurt His Highness the Crown Prince. On the contrary, if the world's elites oppose His Highness, it will be a bad thing for His Highness."

Li Jiancheng said a little bit: "This is also good, so that these wealthy families in Guanzhong understand who they should support.

Li Jiancheng stood up suddenly, and said to Wei Ting with a firm face: "Yi Zhi, you go tomorrow and tell them that what the court promised, it will definitely be done."

Wei Ting shook his head in doubt and said, "I don't understand!"

Wei Zheng said bluntly: "You don't need to understand, you just need to know how to do it!"

Wei Ting was very depressed for a moment, looked at Li Jiancheng, saw that Li Jiancheng had no objection, and sighed helplessly: "I obey the order!"

After Wei Ting left, Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Should I use Changsun Wuji or Du Yan?"

Wei Zheng said: "It's okay, but His Royal Highness must think carefully, once the struggle starts, it may not be easy to end!"

Li Jiancheng said firmly: "Short-term pain is worse than long-term pain!"

Although Li Jiancheng is generous, he is not a fool, let alone a benevolent woman.He knew very well that if he was a powerful clan who demanded too much, Datang would be like the Sima family who rose by relying on the powerful clan.

Now he is only short of [-] square meters of land, and he is already suffering from headaches.However, in the future, once there is a war in the Tang Dynasty, or with the peace of the world, the Tang Dynasty will usher in a new round of population growth. In this case, the problem of land shortage will only become more and more serious, and will not better.

Li Jiancheng also understood that once he started a war against the clans and clans under Li Shimin's command, Li Shimin would definitely fight back.At that time, you will fight me and I will fight you on both sides, and eventually consume the power of the aristocratic family without knowing it, because this kind of political struggle is an internal struggle. Although the fight is life and death, it will fight without breaking!

Only the imperial court will benefit in the end.

Regarding the struggle between King Qin and Li Jiancheng in Chang'an City, Chen Ying always acted as a spectator.Of course, Chen Ying was not idle either. He used his limited energy to train the soldiers of the Anxi Army.

If the ordinary infantry suffers from the 36th floor of hell, then the soldiers of the Xiaocavalry Army and the Modao Army are suffering from the [-]th floor.

The soldiers of the Modao Army not only train in formation and coordination, armed off-road training and fighting training, but also special endurance training.Ordinary Mingguang heavy armor weighs 36 catties, plus Modao and other equipment, on average, each soldier of the Modao army has to bear nearly a hundred catties.Muscle and endurance have become important factors restricting the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Modao Army.

To this end, Chen Ying also specially planned a series of endurance training.For example, during cross-country marching training, the soldiers of the Modao Army must not only be fully armed, but also carry heavy sandbags.

The soldiers of the Modao Army will start training with sandbags weighing ten catties. Whether they are eating or training in a queue, as long as the soldiers appear on the school grounds, they will have to endure the sandbags weighing ten catties. Even if they are sleeping, they are not allowed to relieve themselves down.

As for the heavy-duty leapfrog, barbells, dumbbells, and elastic ropes have become their good friends. The purpose of training is to fully mobilize the strength of every muscle in their bodies, so that they have stronger explosive power and more Long-lasting endurance, more agile skills, and stronger will, this kind of training is undoubtedly very painful. Often after one day of training, there is not a joint in the whole body, no muscle in the whole body that is not painful, and even I can't even open my palms.

The worst part is that this kind of training doesn't just take ten days and half a month, but it has to accompany them for several years. As long as they are still serving in the barracks and their physical condition allows, they have to train like this.The training is long and painful, probably only after defeating the enemy, they can enjoy the short-term happiness.

The Hook Sickle Cavalry is even worse.They didn't have such perverted endurance training. After being severely punished several times and knowing the importance of military discipline and queue training, they also worked hard and passed these trainings smoothly.However, the following training made them want to cry: they had to undergo more than 50 trainings, half of which were for cavalry, half for infantry, and some for them to save their lives on the battlefield. In other words, just controlling the horses to synchronize with the surrounding comrades-in-arms to form a dense and neat cavalry wall that cannot be rushed no matter how the enemy rushes, the difficulty is daunting.

It's easy to make people line up neatly, but how easy is it to make war horses line up neatly?Not to mention the distraction of controlling the horses to form a cavalry wall while fighting the enemy!After they finally formed the cavalry wall, a new challenge came. The demon instructor brought the crossbow bolts, removed the arrowheads, wrapped cotton on the arrowheads, dipped them in kerosene, and fired rockets at the horses.

All animals are afraid of fire, and war horses are no exception.

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of......" After a burst of shooting stars shot out, the horses neighed wildly in fright.The instructor's yelling and cursing have become an important part of their lives, and there is no day when training is free from scolding.Of course, scolding is scolding, they still have a sense of proportion, they will not insult the soldiers' family members, and they will not hurt their self-esteem too much. After being scolded for a long time, everyone will get used to it.

It is very difficult to train a Hook and Sickle Lancer.Like the Pikemen, it’s no problem to be on the battlefield in the first half of the training, but the Lancers are not good. The first half of the training can only be regarded as a little trick, and the last year of training can be regarded as the initial formation of combat effectiveness. It is done, and it is easy to cause disability accidents. Whether it is a horse or a human, it is not easy to practice it.

Although Chen Ying didn't need to participate in the training, on the training ground, he, the general of the country, followed him from day to night, setting an example.The sun in the Western Regions is very poisonous, and the skin will peel off the face.Chen Ying gradually became darker, his face was no longer as fair as a woman's, and his skin was not as delicate as suet.

Lying in the tub, Li Xiuning looked at the layers of skin on Chen Ying's back, as well as the tanned skin, and said with pity: "Chen Lang, why are you bothering?"

"Happy here, you don't understand!" Chen Ying looked at his own reflection in the bathtub, he transformed from perfect Lu Han to Ekin Cheng, and said with satisfaction: "It's really perfect!"

Li Xiuning was stunned.

If the generals of the Anxi Army and their generals drilled them so cruelly, just to fulfill their own little wishes, they would probably cry and faint in the toilet.

Chen Ying has always been dissatisfied with his appearance.

There is no way, you say a big man with a face that is even more alluring than a woman, how can Chen Ying, a pure man, feel so embarrassed?

It's just a pity that there is no plastic surgery in this era, and Chen Ying can only let his parents give him this look. He has been exposed to the sun before, and he was also blown by the cold wind in the snow, but the effect is not obvious.Often after the skin turns black, it doesn't take long for it to change back immediately.

However, after more than three months of high-ultraviolet exposure in one summer, Chen Ying's skin faded to less than two or three layers. In this way, with the increase of melanin on the surface of the skin, it may not be easy to change back!

"Can't you let the army practice less for a few days?" Looking at the shocking back, the lovely Li Xiuning frowned and said.

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Less practice for a few days? Just kidding, I think their training intensity is not enough, I plan to give them more food!"

Li Xiuning smiled wryly and said, "It's really hard work being your soldier!"

Chen Ying smiled softly: "Sweat more in normal times, bleed less in wartime, and be a ghost among ghosts, and be a master. If they don't have this kind of awareness, they'd better get out as soon as possible!"
