Chapter 302: Yuan is not an object in the pool (IV)

Xue Yuanchao began to deliver letters to Suzhou.

It was sent by a fast horse, and there is no such thing as a flying pigeon delivering a letter. It is a fictional novel. In order to find out the direction of the sea, the cannibals used the flying pigeon connection between ships. However, if all kinds of confidential information, or military newspapers are shot down, or if they are lost in the direction and fall into the hands of others, they will miss the big thing. There is no such thing as a password. If there is a password, Guo Kaifeng would not use poetry to ask Liu Rengui for help. At most, there are flag languages, drum languages ​​and trumpet languages ​​were invented by Li Wei.

This has an objective process of understanding.

Therefore, no matter whether the court's intelligence or important private information, it must be transmitted using fast horses. At most, how fast the horse is.

But Xue Yuanchao neglected an important matter.

Why did the prince return to Dongdu slowly? It was not a matter of grasping it, otherwise he would not have told his father the real reason for the suspension of work. He was also afraid of touching his father's bottom line. During this slow return, he deliberately delayed several days. Before he set off, a large number of people had left Chang'an and used this time difference to rush to various places. That is, when Xue Yuanchao's information had not been delivered to Li Ming, he might have arrived in Yangzhou, Suzhou and was touching the relevant information.

...

The people who have the idea are not only the two kings' faction, but also others, and there are many people who want to take advantage of the situation.

One of the biggest benefits of Ming Chongyan over the years is that he noticed the salt drying, which made him make a lot of money. Even Xu Zhong is dressed in a pretty good manner now, but those who bring them benefits will not be grateful. Xu Zhong quietly rushed from Yangzhou to Shenzhou and handed a book to Ming Chongyan. The year is approaching, and he has calculated the profits over the past year.

Ming Chongyan flipped over and was very satisfied. He said to the two concubines standing beside him and served: "Zhu'er, Zi'er, from now on, you will serve Uncle Zhong."

"Ah Lang," Zhu Er and Zi'er looked beautiful. The two concubines looked very good. Ming Chongyan bought them for a lot of money. When the concubines went through the family, they could only use the word "buy", not the word "marriage". It is common to buy and sell concubines or give concubines. They could even publicly ask good friends for beautiful concubines around their friends. This is not an insult, because the concubines themselves are not humans, but just an item in this era.

But this item has thoughts and feelings, and is willing to serve Ming Chongyan. He is middle-aged and handsome, but Xu Zhong is so old that he is a gray-bearded old man.

"Get packed your luggage!" Ming Chongyan shouted angrily.

Xu Zhong was very grateful and nodded and said, "Thank you Dr. Ming."

"No need to thank you, thank you for your hard work over the years."

"Doctor Ming, I don't know if you say it or not."

"explain."

"I have an idea. At this time, Your Majesty is not happy with the prince, so he brought King Yong up. Can you push another hand and make a witch in the Eastern Palace and destroy the prince immediately?"

"No."

"Why?"

"I want to do witchcraft in the East Palace, but there is another person who has to be careful. That Di Renjie can find us as long as there is a little clue."

This is Di Renjie's role, otherwise Ming Chongyan would have been restless in recent years. At one time, Ming Chongyan even wanted to send someone to assassinate Di Renjie, but the consequences caused by his terrible failure were so dared not take action.

"Also, you can't look at the surface of the problem. Your Majesty may not be complimenting King Yong. Although he is ill, he is still very clear sometimes. The gap between King Yong and the Crown Prince is too big. Promoting King Yong may be a chance for King Yong, but King Yong may not be able to laugh to the end. Your Majesty does this, Promoting King Yong is fake, and restraining the Crown Prince is real. Don't want to assist, but you still take one step at a time."

Xu Zhong believed and doubted. But not long after, he heard Di Ren sending the court to investigate the Liang Jinzhu case again, and then he believed it. He came to Ming Chongyan's mansion and said ashamedly: "Doctor Ming, I am far from you."

"Last time, it was someone who was careless and lost to the prince. Since Mr. Xu gave you to someone, he would not be useless." Ming Chongyan said confidently. It may not be a praising King Yong, but the court split, but gave him a good opportunity. He also said: "You immediately send someone to do something for someone, take out a batch of money to manage the officials and people of Shenzhou, and let them praise him. Especially the officials who inspect and evaluate the officials must pay a lot of money. Someone is going to Beijing!"

"Here!" Xu Zhong said happily.

Shenzhou has always been useless. If you want to avenge your old master, Ming Chongyan has to return to the capital!

...

The chaotic political situation has made many people unable to bear it.

But someone was silently reaping benefits. Wu Sansi was transferred back from Lingnan, with a small position and no one paid attention. He quietly transferred another nephew Wu Youji back to the capital to serve as the General of the Right Guard. He was another small official, but no one paid attention. He transferred Wu Yizong to Dali Temple again to serve as the Chief of the Dali Temple. Just when the officials were finally alert, Wu Zetian stopped.

In fact, I felt a little regretful after the transfer. I saw that Di Renjie helped his son a lot in Dali Temple, so I felt that although the position of Dali Temple Chief was small, it would also be helpful to him. I was jealous. But this transfer would cause some people to misunderstand that it was targeted by Di Renjie.

That is to be alerted.

The three Wushu entered Beijing, and his official position was small and stopped in time. The officials focused their attention on the dispute between the two kings. Not only the Liang Jinzhu case, but the more intense it became, and many places were overdoing it. In fact, Li Zhi finally acquiesced Di Renjie to strictly handle the Liang Jinzhu case, which was not only the son's previous threat, but also took the opportunity to brake this trend.

Fighting can be done, but it cannot affect state affairs.

This idea was also his wishful thinking.

The two kings had a big fight, and there was still one fight without stopping. After receiving a report from Qinghai, Li Jingxuan mocked Liu Rengui again, saying that he had tens of thousands of troops, and even made Tubo kill thousands of people. What famous generals, as the people say, were not as good as the prince who led his troops to fight for the first time.

This is not the case. If Liu Rengui had not been in charge, the border would have been harassed by Tubo people. Of course, Liu Rengui was not sure, otherwise he would have reported to the court to send troops to fight Qinghai in the morning. Li Jingxuan had always had a good reputation, and this sentence would have spread quickly. The public discussion also became fierce.

Li Wei was helpless about this. After all, Li Jingxuan also spoke for him. So he pretended not to hear it.

He arranged for someone to transfer the four girls back to Chang'an. It was a bit messy, and some bold people would inevitably have confused thoughts and scramble for the waters. Yangzhou can no longer stay there, and things have passed for a long time. Pei Yuhe went to the Eastern Palace to be the crown princess for a long time, and there would be no dispute. So he placed it in the Wei family.

It's also the safest place.

If we did not come to the Tang Dynasty, we would not know how powerful these clans were. For example, the Longyou clans that Wu Zetian later dealt with, were just second-rate clans, such as Changsun and Dugu, and they would not dare to kill them all. After the fall of the Wei family, the Wei family was killed so blood was flowing, but only the Wei family members did not dare to destroy the entire Wei family. Later, the Wei family was the prime minister, the governor, the minister, and the general. In the confrontation with the royal family, the aristocratic families were weak, but they were killed all of them. Even Li Shimin could not predict what would happen. Either they killed everyone like Huang Chao and killed everyone, and they would destroy the foundation of the aristocratic family at once, but they would soon die.

But Pei Xingjian suddenly sent someone to invite him to Pei's mansion to talk to him.

Not sure what happened, Li Wei came to Pei Xingjian's mansion. A small mansion was not big and not too shabby. It was average. Pei Xingjian asked him to sit down, and his servant poured tea. Pei Xingjian said, "Your Highness, I invite you here, that's one thing."

"Please say it."

"This matter takes a long time to talk about. It starts from the Sui Dynasty. Your Highness must know the deeds of Han capturing the tiger in the Sui Dynasty?"

"I know," it was him and He Ruobi who destroyed the Chen State. He was a famous brave general of the Sui Dynasty. He also looked vicious. Once the Turkic envoy came, Yang Jian came out to capture the tiger. When the Turkic envoy saw his vicious look, he did not dare to look at it. However, the military discipline was loose and he was willing to compete for merit, so he was short of it.

"Han Qinhu was the uncle of Duke Wei Li Jing. The Duke Wei was also a family of officials in the Sui Dynasty. Seeing that he had civil and military talents, Han Qinhu was quite happy, so he often talked about military affairs with Duke Wei and even taught military tactics. Later, Duke Wei took office as an official, although his position was low, he was quite liked by Yang Su. He often talked with him, talked more about military tactics during the meal, and later gave him a beautiful maid to Duke Wei."

It is probably the origin of the legend of Li Jing and Hong Fu Nu later, but after saying this, Li Wei understood the reason why Li Jing was so talented in military talent later. His own talent and the careful teachings of the two military strategists, it was impossible not to become a famous general.

Pei Xingjian said again: "Duke of Wei later accepted two more students. One was ordered by Emperor Taizong to teach famous generals Hou Junji. However, he observed that he had a rebellious intention and only taught the superficiality, but did not teach the essence. Then he went to General Su Dingfang of Xing, and followed Duke of Wei to attack the *** Jue. Duke of Xing led 200 cavalry as vanguards, took advantage of the heavy fog and rushed straight to the enemy camp, killing Jie Li Khan and fled in panic. He was appreciated by Duke of Wei and quietly taught the military tactics. He did not pass it all, but the essence was passed on."

Li Wei listened silently, not many people involved, but each of them shone with dazzling glory in history. Han Qinhu, Yang Su, Li Jing, Hou Junji, and Su Dingfang. No matter which one of these people has military talents, they are at least at the level of Xue Rengui.

"After the Battle of Yinshan, Duke Xing returned to the court and became the General of the Central Army, and was idle for a long time. At that time, Duke Wei had passed away. Just as the minister took up Mingjing, served as the military officer of Zuotun Cangcai, and became a subordinate of Duke Xing. Unintentionally talked to Duke Xing, Duke Xing was overjoyed and said, "If I use military forces, I will be able to teach you in the world, and now I am a virtuous person."

This sentence was somewhat exaggerated. Su Dingfang had not really made a fortune at that time, but considering that Pei Xingjian might be less than 20 years old and was just a ninth-rank little sesame official, he was very likely reluctant to say this and fool the young man.

Li Wei suddenly smiled.

"Your Highness, why are you laughing at?"

"I just thought that Duke Xing is cheerful and has a cheerful personality. He is both a member of Cheng Zhijie and Liu Rengui, but Mr. Pei, you are rigorous and elegant. I wonder how you get along with each other?"

Pei Xingjian also laughed and continued, "I didn't believe it at that time, and I didn't even believe that he received the true teachings of Duke Wei. However, he was my superior, and I was a young official at that time, so I had to do it perfunctorily."

After saying that, the two looked at each other again and laughed loudly.

"Oh, I shouldn't have been there. In order to let him learn his skills, Duke Xing coaxed and deceived him. Later, when I arrived in the Western Regions, I realized how much help Duke Xing had given me. I am old and was about to go to Xing's cemetery to worship him when I was about to leave this year."

"Shilarious Minister Pei, Lian Po still wants to work hard for the country at 70 years, and Huang Zhong is becoming more and more brave as he grows older. You are only sixty years old this year, so why not talk about old age?" He comforted him, but he was suspicious and didn't know what the purpose of Pei Xingjian's remarks about this old past.

"But the military books are still military books. Han Xin and Huo Qubing don't like reading military books, but they rarely encounter any enemy."

"yes."

"But there are very few people like them. It is different from having military books to guide them and not having military books to guide them. It is different from having someone to guide them to read military books and not having anyone to guide them to read military books."

"yes."

"But someone guided him, but he didn't have the talent to learn and apply it, and he became Zhao Kuo and others. So Zhao She didn't let him lead the troops."

"Yes." These three sentences do not contain many words, but point out the key point.

"For example, only by employing people and observing their words and actions can one judge a person. This time, I only read the evaluation of the minister's selection, so I made a mistake by letting Tianshui serve as the salt and iron envoy."

"Shishou, this is not your fault. It is impossible for the Minister of Personnel to be able to observe one by one if the Ministry of Personnel selects a day." When it comes to selecting officials, there are Ma Zai in front and Li Jingxuan and Pei Xingjian behind. No one can produce these three people. But there are too many officials. If you want to know a person, you can't see through it by sitting down and talking. Some people can see through it at a glance, and some people may not be able to see through it in their lifetime. If you choose an official like that, even a hundred Pei Xingjian can't complete the tasks of the Ministry of Personnel.

Pei Xingjian deliberately mentioned this matter, one was to blame himself and apologize in a vague way, and the other was to make an analogy, and said: "For example, when you march and fight, you will not only send scouts to inquire about military information, but also to understand the local terrain and weather, and you must even ask old farmers, just like camping, a place with no water, and you cannot be stuck in a lone ridge. If you can understand the clouds and know that heavy rain will come tonight, you cannot be stuck in a depression. This is the heavenly power. There are also human power and the contradictions and shortcomings of enemy generals. If you fight with the trend, you don't have to use tens of thousands of tigers to fight, you can also win a complete victory."

Li Wei nodded again. He remembered what Pei Xingjian said when he arrived at Pei Xingjian's mansion before the southwest. Your Highness, you should prepare for the matter after the great victory, just like a charlatan. Before he could go out, he decided to win and lose, reminding himself to pay attention to the impact of the great victory, but he did not wake up, and even after returning to Beijing, everything was so hurrying. Otherwise, he would do a little better.

"I only learn military tactics, even if I have high talent and no actual combat, I am still Zhao Kuo. This has a process of growing up and learning. Although there were no major wars in the Western Regions in those years, there were also some military affairs, which was very helpful for me to understand the knowledge taught by Duke Xing. However, when I am old, my son is not good at military affairs." Speaking of this, I sighed and understood a little bit why Su Dingfang was happy when he saw him. He also knew people, but he could watch the success of the juniors of the court, but no one was qualified to teach him carefully.

Li Wei is helpless, just like in a martial arts novel, students want to become famous teachers, and famous teachers want to accept high disciples. There should be, but Pei Xingjian didn't find out, what should I do?

Pei Xingjian hesitated for a long time and said, "Your Highness, how can I teach you what I have learned and learned in my life?"

"Pei..." Li Wei almost fainted. I am the prince and not a general. Did you tell me about this?
