It was night, Jiang Heng was already yawning, but Geng Shu was still very serious, thinking about his military reform. Jiang Heng began to look at Geng Shu with admiration, why is this guy so serious recently
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Jiang Heng said, "Go back to the room."
"I'm sleeping here." Geng Shu said.
Jiang Heng just showed a certain expression, but Geng Shu was a little annoyed and said, "I have something to ask, if I don't always stick to you, why would you let me stay for a while?"
Jiang Heng: "What do you want to ask? Can't we do it tomorrow?"
Geng Shu took his hand, sat down beside the couch, and said stubbornly, "No, I'm afraid I forgot."
Geng Shu was silent for a moment, Jiang Heng thought he had something on his mind, and when he was looking at him curiously, Geng Shu suddenly said: "You are right, Heng'er, you are so right."
Jiang Heng: "What did I say?"
Geng Shu said: "I read your foreign affairs book of the ethnic group, which is also called 'Ping Bang Ling'."
"Yeah." Jiang Heng nodded, and Geng Shu said again: "You are much more than I thought. I just often worry about it. I don't know what Yong Jun is going to do. You reminded me."
Jiang Heng understood, Geng Shu can sit in this position, in addition to his military talent for marching and fighting, he must also regard leading troops as his most important thing to do, no, it should be said, the most important thing is Jiang Heng, the second most important Yes, it is the identity of the general.
"You have cared about it since you were a child," Jiang Heng said. "I remember the first time you asked me a question about Sun Tzu's art of war."
Geng Shu: "Over the years, I have always felt that there are many injustices in the Yong Army."
Being born in this world is full of unfairness. Jiang Heng wanted to ask him, do you think Yongren is fair? Zheng people are fair? Is it fair for Liang people, Dairen and Ying people? The Central Plains world is equally full of injustice.
But he didn't laugh at Geng Shu's simplicity, which is very valuable.
"So what?" Jiang Heng asked.
"Whether it is from Fengrong or Linhu, there are people from Di. Everyone treats everyone equally." Geng Shu suddenly raised his eyes, looked at Jiang Heng, and said, "You don't know, when you said 'I am from the world' that day. , like it woke me up."
Jiang Heng thinks Geng Shu is very interesting. He has already read about these in books. The Mohist's love and non-attack, the Taoist's "heaven and earth are not benevolent and all things are dogs" are nothing more than this. This is only right and right. Do I need to say it specifically
Geng Shu said: "I must make Dayong treat Fengrong the same. I can't let them build military exploits and fight with blood, but stop at the commander of thousands. They are all my brothers... Henger, you know this brother I am talking about, Unlike us."
"I understand," Jiang Heng said. "They are all your subordinates. They are not chess pieces that can be sacrificed, nor are they luggage that can be discarded."
Geng Shu's emotions are very simple, and he can only express it for the sake of it, but he believes that Jiang Heng will understand him. Every time casualties are counted and reported, and when they apply for pensions, those who died in battle are turned into illusory numbers. Except for their families, who cares about how many stories are behind every living person
"The Guard is Here"
Jiang Heng replied: "So why do I always ask you to try not to hurt people as long as you achieve your goals, you understand."
What Geng Shu remembered was the day when Jiang Heng stopped him when he went to dig out the eggs when he was a child.
Jiang Heng said: "But to win for the Fengrong people and persuade your father, you must have skills."
"My words, I speak myself." Geng Shu said.
In the early morning of the next day, as expected by Prince Taki, Jiang Heng's performance was immediately alerted by Ju Cong.
"Since the founding of the Great Yong Dynasty," said Ju Cong, "the Yong people ruled the country as the mainstay, with the education of the Di people as a supplement. Once you change the law, you will bring the Fengrong, Linhu and Di tribes to the same position. Jiang Heng, have you investigated to find out who they are?"
Linhu people and Di people could not be officials in the imperial court, while Fengrong people could join the army and be promoted to generals, but they were not allowed to enter the court. When Jiang Heng proposed it, the court was silent.
"What changes the law is the law of the ancestors." After Jiang Heng read his memorial, he made it very clear, one by one, there is no need to repeat the reasons for doing so in court, but the court officials said, "The ancestors One hundred and twenty years have passed since the founding of the National Law, and if you hold the idea that the ancestral law at the beginning of the founding of the country cannot be revoked, then I think that all reforms are unnecessary."
What Jiang Heng faced this time was the questioning of all ministers in the entire court.
"This..." Zeng Rong was obviously stunned, after all, Prince Taki had never discussed it with him.
Juicong simply could not accept any ethnic group standing up to the imperial court, which was the country established by his ancestors.
"Father," Geng Shu stepped forward and said, "In the army, we have also faced the drawbacks mentioned by Mr. Jiang. My Dayong army has always been rewarded and punished, but no matter what military achievements the Fengrong people have made, they will be punished. Being stuck in the position of the Commander of Thousands, we cannot go any further. If things go on like this, how are the soldiers willing to work for the Yong Kingdom? This is what I have always noticed in the four years I have led soldiers. Feng Rong people deserve the same military merit and promotion! "
Juicy Cong: "… "
"This is crazy!" Wei Zhuo said without mercy, "Mr. Jiang, do you know what you are talking about? Those are all barbarians! Barbarians! Let them run the country, what will Dayong look like? The Linhu people neither read nor read; the Fengrong people were stubborn and barbarous and only knew how to kill; the Di people were even more ignorant and ignorant. The reform will come again, and let them become officials in the court?"
Guan Wei coughed twice and said, "Master Wei, please calm down."
Prince Taki finally spoke up.
"The people who live in the land. They are all our sons," said Prince Taki. "Does Lord Wei admit that they are human?"
Prince Taki deftly made a detour, and did not refute when Ju Cong expressed his position, instead he grabbed poor Wei Zhuo and spoke just right.
"It's a person," Prince Taki said, "it's the same as it should be. The selection system of officials and the army has been able to screen out those who are not suitable for entering the dynasty. Lords, don't you think? Those who pass the selection must be the same as our Yongren officials. Generally excellent."
"Why not treat them equally?" said Prince Taki, "Whether the Yong people or the Hu people, whether they are noble or low, whether they are from a noble family or a commoner, they have to be given the opportunity to go to school and read Han Chinese books. Only in this way can the state be able to Recruit high-quality talents. Even if people from Linhu and Fengrong are not as smart as people from Yong, they will have the opportunity to learn. After screening, the level of the best among them will definitely be the same as that of their own people. Dissent?"
"Father," Prince Taki said to Juicong again, "what we need most right now is excellent talents. If the three hustle don't meet the standard, if they don't recruit them, the court will have no loss. Give them a chance."
"Juicy Taki is right." Geng Shu seldom speaks in the courtroom, he has always spoken up to the point, today is the one he has spoken the most in the past year, and he doesn't even care about the name, "We are all Yong People, think things are naturally the identity of the Yong people. But do any of you regard yourself as Fengrong people, Linhu people, or Di people? If you want them to fight for the Yong people willingly, you have to understand how they are want!"
Juicong has a gloomy face. Dayong has been advocating the supremacy of Yong people since the founding of the country a hundred years ago. What is Yong people? They are "people" in the realm south of the Great Wall and in the Central Plains. What are the tribes? They are savages who are transformed, and animals that drink blood! Can man be compared with animals? Looking at Jiang Heng's meaning, do you want animals to come to the court? !
"They are human beings," Jiang Heng added to the words of Prince Taki. "If they are human beings, they will have people's hearts. Those who win people's hearts will gain the world. If His Majesty wants to solve all worries, he must pass this 'Pingping Order' as soon as possible. Guaranteed to…”
Lu Ji said: "If foreigners enter the dynasty, the policy will be gradually tilted towards them, and they will participate in political discussions. The Fengrong people should give priority to the interests of the Fengrong, and the Di people should compete for the interests of the Di people! Stop, and then you will have to take the land! At that time, you will have to admit the ownership of the land by all ethnic groups. Master Jiang, do you know what this means?"
Jiang Heng: "Of course I know, Mr. Lu. This means they can choose whether to return to their hometown or not."
Lu Ji said: "Then this country is no longer the land of the Yong people. You have to declare their legality of the land. All the land in Saitama will be theirs. Where should the Yong people live?"
Jiang Heng: "Of course the land still belongs to the emperor, but in the name of the emperor, it is re-entitled to various countries. The emperor Jin has been in the throne for six hundred and forty-two years. Has anyone ever questioned where he should live? Master Lu, wake up! From At the beginning, what we were discussing was land and land, and only land! I have never heard of anyone who has the land in the world, and it is logical to become the emperor, and only those who have the heart can conquer the world!"
Guan Wei never said anything, but Lu Ji and Wei Zhuo were shocked by Jiang Heng's discussion. They both knew that he was the leader of the reform in the East Palace, but they didn't expect to throw out such a shocking news as soon as they started. .
Juicong was about to speak, but the prince Taki blocked his father's words: "Father, I, Dayong, want to go out in the future, end this great dispute, and rule the rivers and mountains. After you become the emperor, we will stand Is Luoyan City the capital of the world? Where should the people of Yong go? This is also a very important question." After speaking, he said to the crowd, "Would you like to continue living in Luoyan, plan strategies and rule the Central Plains? A thousand miles away?!"
Juicong was at a loss for words, and Prince Taki changed the subject in an instant, so that Lu Ji couldn't find any point to refute for a while - Yong Guo's lofty ambition is to enter the customs, which is why Jiang Heng's vision is lofty.
Prince Taki woke up from his sleep almost when Jiang Heng said "I am from the world". What they want is not a peaceful corner, but entry!
What about after entering? They will move the capital one day, no matter Luoyang or other places, can't they always be in the siege? Not to mention the issue of living conditions, the emperor stayed in Luoyan City and could not radiate Shenzhou at all.
Wei, Zhou, Zeng, these three families follow the royal family, how many should go and how many should stay? The biggest possibility is that all the ministers entered the customs with Juicong and moved to Luoyang. Only the proper division of seals can make the Yong Kingdom form a whole.
"This matter has to be considered in the long run." After listening to this sentence, Ju Cong did not refute his son. Crown Prince Taki really knew him very well, so he held back what he cared about the most, "Retreat to the DPRK."
Jiang Heng also knew that it was impossible to come to a conclusion today. What he wanted was to throw out the issue first, let all ministers and Juicong quarrel, and then give a compromise method. Just like the current opinion of hundreds of officials, throwing animals into the imperial court and making them riot is absolutely unacceptable to everyone. But if the animals are locked in a cage and face up together, it seems to be a compromise.
And Jiang Heng knew that in the Yong Dynasty, he had a powerful ally, but he hardly ever talked to this ally from beginning to end.
"Impossible." Juicong paced in the study and said to himself, "Even if the lone king nodded and passed this decree, how profound is the implication? There are many people who oppose him! What is he thinking?"
At the court, Wei Zhuo initially only thought that Jiang Hengzhi was the Great Tang in the desolate world, and the extent of his elbows turning to squat can only be described as "crazy", but after thinking about it, he was suddenly full of cold sweats.
What does Juicong want? He wants the country to provide him with the greatest support, to feed enough troops, and to go out in one go, sweeping the four countries. At that time, the royal family will consider moving the capital. Although the Yong people have feelings for this land, they know that sooner or later, they will return to the Central Plains.
Since we always have to go back in the future, what's the problem with conferring the blocked land to the three clansmen? As long as they are obedient, not only will they not lose money, but it is a very cost-effective transaction.
Juicong has clearly recovered now, and his heart begins to shake. Needless to say, the benefits of doing so will be more morale. The soldiers will fight for him bravely, and Diren will pay him more taxes. In fact, since the year of the Shanze Rebellion, the tax paid by the Di people has been decreasing year by year. There may be a problem that the Wei family has intercepted and concealed the report, but it is an indisputable fact that the national treasury is empty.
The preliminary draft of the "Pingbang Order" presented by Jiang Heng discussed in detail the importance of recovering the Di and Linhu tribes and living in peace with them, as well as the role of minerals and mountain resources on the royal family.
"Your Majesty," Wei Zhuo said solemnly, "this person has already controlled the entire Eastern Palace and made His Highness the Crown Prince obey his orders. How long has it been? I can't let him go on like this."
"Hmm." Juicong was still recalling the question raised in Jiang Heng's draft, how much tax can be increased this year, and how much the army can be expanded.
"Who?" Juicong said.
"Master Guan, ask to see you." The head guard said.
Juicong winked and asked Wei Zhuo to leave first. Guan Wei leaned on his cane, walked into the imperial study, and sat down to the side.
Juicong said: "Guan Xiang..."
Guan Wei: "Your Majesty..."
The two made a sound at the same time, and Guan Wei laughed helplessly.
In front of Juicong is Jiang Heng's handwriting, which is full of three thousand words.
Guan Wei put down the local annals booklet that Jiang Heng brought back to Luoyan. Juicong said solemnly, "King Gu knows what the Prime Minister is thinking today, but he actually agrees with Jiang Heng."
Guan Wei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why the old ministers remain silent today is another thing."
Juicong stared at Guan Wei's eyes and raised his eyebrows, and said seriously, "The old minister is thinking, in a hundred years, will there be someone like the old minister in front of His Royal Highness the Prince?"
"Juicong has learned very quickly over the years," Juicong replied, "now I have my own ideas."
"Yes," Guan Wei said, "he is a child who will not admit defeat, since Prince Miao came to Luoyan."
"King Gu knew that many years ago," Ju Cong added, "he wanted to investigate the rebellion of Haodi, and Zeng Rong also played a lot of roles in it, but because the Wei family was involved, it was finally settled. ."
Juicong regained his senses and said, "What do you think about this?"
Guan Wei said: "If Your Majesty wishes to be peaceful and hand over the responsibility to his descendants thousands of years later, he can put the decree of peace to the flames. If he wishes to rule the world and rule Luoyang in his lifetime..."
"... As Mr. Jiang said, it is the only way."
