Unparalleled Concubine

"I can be the chief general of the Northern Expedition."

Gongyang Shu shook his head, and said slowly: "The Grand Tutor is already the top rank in the dynasty, there is no reason for the Grand Tutor to go to the front to lead the army. As long as the Tai Tutor is willing to give the sharp weapon in his hand, the old man and the Shangshutai colleagues will immediately start preparing for the battle. .”

The "sharp weapon" in his mouth refers to Tianlei.

Li Xin closed his eyes and remained silent.

Gongyang Shu shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the Grand Tutor doesn't want to conquer the North that much. If that's the case, I, Shangshutai, will still be in charge of conferring the Xianbei Yuwen Department as the King of Yan, and then slowly plan it."

"As long as the Yuwen Ministry accepts the canonization of my Dajin, it will be a courtier of the Dajin. The Northern Xinjiang Heavenly King Yu Wenzhao has more than one son. In a few years, the imperial court will give him several sons once again, and the Yuwen Ministry will naturally come again. Become Yuwen Zhubu at once."

"After the battle of Ye Shuai in Xianbei Yuwenjing, it has been torn apart. If there is no national fortune in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they will not be able to enter the customs. The population will not exceed one million, and there will be no big climate."

Having said that, he glanced at Li Xin.

"On the contrary, Taifu has always wanted Dajin to use troops against northern Xinjiang..."

Hearing this, Li Xin didn't speak, but just smiled coldly.

This method of suppressing divisions was not a tactic that Gongyang Shu came up with. Hundreds of years ago, the Central Plains Dynasty used the same method to treat the Turkic people in the north.

Foreign races don't have the habit of recording history books, and many of them don't like reading too much. Even if it is a method that has been used in history books, sometimes it can be used again on them.

But unfortunately, Yu Wenzhao is a student.

The Yuwen family once entered the customs and served as emperor for more than a hundred years. Beginning with the third emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, a large-scale Sinicization was carried out. After the Sinicization, those Northern Zhou clans became the teachers of the Xianbei nobles. Family origin.

And Yu Wenzhao is a descendant of the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. His father Yu Wenchui loved reading since he was a child. Li Xin once had contact with Yu Wenzhao for three days. In terms of cultural level, it is probably not a big problem for Yu Wenzhao to come to Dajin to take the Jinshi examination.

How could such a person not study history?

How can this method picked up from the history books be used for the second time in the Yuwen Department?

But Li Xin didn't bother to quarrel with these old men here, he sighed and said, "This is political disagreement."

"My opinion with you is to the left, and you will take it as Li Xin's shallow knowledge."

Speaking of this, Li Xin cupped his hands to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please leave Beijing."

Emperor Yuanzhao frowned, and said: "Since the political opinions are not in harmony, let's discuss it slowly."

"Don't worry about the teacher's departure from Beijing. I will discuss it with the Lords of Shangshutai in the next few days."

After speaking, Emperor Yuanzhao glanced at Gongyang Shu, and said with emotion: "Mr. Gongyang, don't argue with the teacher for now. The teacher returned to Beijing to take charge of the government, and the teacher strongly recommended it to me."

The old sheep looked at Li Xin in astonishment.

Chapter 950

The emperor recalled the old sheep from Dunqiu to the capital after three edicts. At first, the old sheep was not surprised, because he was almost the most suitable candidate when the Shangshutai was almost wiped out. After all, the emperor could not travel thousands of miles. In Guanzhong, invite Mr. Haoran, who is not in good health, back.

Hearing what the emperor said, he realized that the emperor was not as wise as he imagined. It was Li Xin who taught him how to complete the replacement of Shangshutai in an orderly manner.

From the beginning to the end, Li Xin never mentioned this matter to him. If the emperor hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have thought that it was Lord Li, who hadn't been involved in politics for more than ten years, who invited him back to the capital.

Gongyang let out a sigh of relief, and cupped his hands at Li Xin.

"Taifu Dadu."

At the beginning of the first year of Yuanzhao, Shangshutai wanted to replace the Captain Zhechong of the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army. Because of this incident, Li Xin and Shangshutai had a huge conflict. It was also because of this incident that Gongyang Shu took the initiative to sue his old man and return to his hometown. Apparently, there was a conflict between him and Li Xin. Li Xin was able to let go of the past, and it was indeed very generous to recommend him to sit in this position of Chief Assistant.

Lord Jing'an looked calm.

"It's just a matter of business, old man don't have to take it to heart."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the letter of resignation has been handed in. The minister's wife and daughter are still in their hometown in Yongzhou. Please let the minister return to his hometown for the sake of his many years of hard work." .”

"The minister will take his leave first."

He bowed his head to the emperor, and then slowly withdrew from Weiyang Palace.

After Li Xin walked out of Weiyang Palace, the emperor was silent for a long time, and finally said: "The ministries and the Ministry of Households, continue to calculate the expenses, Gongyang Pushe and Fang Xiang, come with me to the study."

Gongyang Shu and the house looked at each other slightly, and bowed their heads respectfully to the emperor.

"According to the order."

At this time, all the officials in the main hall of Weiyang Palace are still busy. After all, it is very cumbersome to set the regulations for this year in the past few days.

The Son of Heaven led Gongyang Shu and House Wei to his study. The Son of Heaven asked Xiao Huai, who was his attendant, to give seats to the two prime ministers. He also sat down on his own seat. , the little emperor sighed slowly, and said: "You two gentlemen, how should you choose the invitation from the grand tutor?"

House Wei did not speak, the old sheep was silent for a while, and said: "Teacher Li is a person who has made great contributions to the country. He wants to go back to his hometown. The court has no reason not to let him go back. It is not difficult to let him go out of Beijing. How to deal with difficult things in the southwest. "

The old sheep sighed, and continued: "During the Taikang Dynasty, the Southwest was the late emperor's confidant, so the late emperor once dispatched Li Taifu to Jimen Pass, and then ordered Pei Jin to raid Hanzhou City. It is a pity that Pei Jin failed in Hanzhou and broke down. The great event of the first emperor caused the situation in the Southwest to deteriorate further, and the Hanzhou Army used this to split the entire Southwest, and in just three years, the Southwest became its own country."

The old sheep said silently: "Your Majesty showed the old minister the Southwest battle report. The old minister and several prime ministers have read it. Now the Hanzhou Army in the Southwest is getting more and more powerful. During the Taikang period, it can only be compared with the local garrison. Now it can even be used by the thunderbolt. Force, against the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army."

The Gyeonggi Forbidden Army is the most elite army in the entire Jin Dynasty. Whether it is equipment, daily training, or salary, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army is the best in the entire Jin Dynasty. Under the training of Pei Jin for more than ten years, it represents the strongest in the Jin Dynasty. combat effectiveness.

Every year, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army will compete with the border army, and most of them are narrowly defeated by the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army.

The 1 or so guards in the capital are the emperor's personal iron armor, and the 30 imperial guards in Gyeonggi are the sharp sword in the hands of the emperor. Now that the sword is handed out, it has opened a gap for others, and the court cannot help but ignore it.

The old goat's voice was hoarse.

"Li Taifu has been advocating the disaster of Xianbei in the northern Xinjiang. In fact, if the 30 imperial guards of the Jin Dynasty are all sent out, the Yuwen tribes in the north can be wiped out at any time. But now that the 30 forbidden troops are all sent out, they may not be able to defeat Jianmen. closed."

"Now the power of the Southwest has even surpassed that of Southern Shu back then, and is far more threatening than the Yuwen tribes in the north. Now, it is almost impossible for the imperial court to regain the Southwest. What Your Majesty has to do is to take precautions against the Southwest."

"Ye Shangshu of Hanzhong has almost 9 or 9 people under his command. This is not enough. If the Southwest wants to leave Jianmen Pass in a few years, these 15 or [-] people will not be able to stop them. The southwestern gate should be heavily guarded, whether it is increasing troops or recruiting troops, at least [-] people should be stationed near the southwest gate.”

Emperor Yuanzhao frowned.

"It costs too much."

Gongyang Shu let out a sigh of relief and said, "Emperor Zhao and Emperor Jing have left a lot of things for this dynasty. I have checked the account books of the Ministry of Accounts in the past few days. , not much pressure."

The little emperor still frowned.

He has been officially in charge of the government, and he has naturally read the account books of the Ministry of Households, but the current full treasury is the inheritance left by two generations of emperors. The money that came down was used to deal with the tribes of Xianbei Yuwen!

The old sheep continued: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the increase in troops is only temporary. As long as the court finds out what the sky thunder in the southwest is, it will not pose any threat to our Jin court."

"If you can use the thunder for your own use, the Yuwen tribes in the north will not be a problem. Before increasing troops to the southwest, it is an expedient measure. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Increasing troops will buy the court a few years. Minister and colleagues , must find a way to get Tianlei's prescription for His Majesty."

Now that there is no other way, Emperor Yuanzhao nodded silently, and sighed at Gongyang Shu: "According to Pushe, who should be sent to the southwest to recruit soldiers?"

"Pei Jin."
