The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 119: Literature and martial arts are more important than martial arts

"Why is the teacher like this?" Listening to the unrestrained laughter and the man's teasing, the young man couldn't control himself and had a tendency to go wild.

"Haha, we are just a 'bare-footed athlete' in their eyes. Now this is the case for everyone in the court and the country. We are the ones who suffer the consequences!" The old man said with a wry smile, his face full of helplessness.

"Oh, the teacher is full of knowledge. No matter who is not convinced by the countermeasures in the palace, he has achieved remarkable results in the management of the local area, but now he has to be angry with such people!" The young man sighed, and lost his temper. He picked up the tea on the table and drank it all.

"I went to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination six times, but I failed the exam again and again. Thanks to Zeng Xiang's respect, I entered the court to discuss martial arts strategies. The late emperor mistook for a special report to the Jinshi, and was appointed as the professor of martial arts. He was appointed as the "Jingshi Jingqi" and the professor of martial arts.

Book, after success, Doctor Feng still failed to leave the word "wu"!" At this time, the waiter came up to change to watch the dishes, served the wine and food, and the old man took a little slow down.

"Two guests, I have served you two pots of wine, six dishes, sweet and sour carp, braised lamb, white chopped chicken, stewed duck, and two vegetarian frying meat and gourd soup. I also have two plates of dessert,

Two plates of fruits!" The waiter sang loudly.

"Go down, call me if you have something to do!" Seeing that the waiter did not leave, the young man frowned and took out a string of copper coins and threw it to him and said, the waiter smiled and bowed and retreated.

"Second Master, you are here, go up the second floor!" The waiter who had just gone downstairs returned and led the three teenagers upstairs. "Second Master, there is only one table of guests here, but it is quite quiet, and there is a group on the third floor.

The scholar was having a cocktail party, and it was a very noisy. It would be a small sin to disturb you!" The waiter diligently wiped the already spotless tables and chairs several times before he invited them to sit down.

"You can talk. First make a pot of good tea and serve a few snacks. I'm so hungry. Don't want those things that can be seen and cannot be eaten!" The young man in charge threw the waiter's little silver croaker and glanced at him.

The two people at the next table said.

"Okay, Master Second, I'll do it for you now!" The waiter laughed and lost his eyes and ran away.

"Oh, I've been riding horses every day these days, and I've been lost after a while. Today we must have a big meal!" The boy rubbed his stomach and sat down in the main seat with a smile. The other two boys sat on him in the left and right.

Start.

The young man who came first looked back at the three teenagers at the next table. The young man in the head was wearing a white dress, a gold belt around his waist, and a headscarf wrapped around his head. His face looked ugly, but he was tanned.

The other two are not old, wearing light blue clothes, but with patent leather belts around their waists. They look like the entourage of this young man, who seem to be the young masters of some wealthy family taking their companions as traveling.

In just a moment, the waiter had returned and held seven or eight kinds of snacks in his hand. He followed him with a smiling Bodhisattva-like hotel shopkeeper, carrying a teapot and a teacup, "Second Master is here, you have a day.

If you don’t come, I think you are angry with me. I’m so scared that I can’t eat well and sleep!” The shopkeeper ordered the waiter to put a snack on it. He poured tea for the boy and then brought a hot towel and said.

"Fatty Zhang, you are fooling around. I see you have gained weight a few times, but you still can't eat well and can't sleep!" The young man said as he patted the shopkeeper's stomach.

"Second Master, today I want to eat dried fried pork chops, Dongpo elbow, Zhao Yong, what do you want?"

"Second Master hasn't spoken yet, Zhao Xin, why are you talking too much!" Zhao Yong pointed at him and said.

"The second master loves us the most. Did you agree to eat whatever you want today?" Zhao Xin said with a blank look.

"Zhao Yong, Zhao Xin is right. Please eat whatever you want. Don't save me money!" No need to ask about this, Zhao Qi.

"Okay, then I'll serve me a roast chicken, a leg of lamb, and a big fish, which is barely enough to eat!" Zhao Yong said without hesitation.

"So many, can you eat?" The shopkeeper looked at the two of them, then looked at Zhao Qi and said in surprise.

"This is just the two of them. Mine hasn't wanted it yet. Have you any new things recently?" Zhao Xiao smiled and said that he had a lot of exercise these days, and everyone has become like a bucket of food.

"Second Master, we collected a newly hunted wild deer from our prey yesterday. You can try it!" said the shopkeeper.

"Okay, pick a few pieces of good meat and bake it, and give me a bottle of wine!" Zhao Qiong said.

"Second Master, you didn't bring wine. I'm not as good as the one in the mansion. Why would I send someone to the mansion for a while?" The shopkeeper didn't expect the prince to drink wine and said with a tight expression.

"Which child is this? The wine in his house is better than this soju? But they say that they are vulgar and the dishes they want are just big fish and meat. Without fine dishes, they must not be any official family."

After a few conversations, he ignored them and ordered the waiter to move the screen in the aisle to block it, "Didn't the teacher have been recommended by Master Su and changed his official position?" The young man asked the old man again.

"Haha, my article was indeed praised by Master Su. He thought I had not completed my military position, so I recommended it twice, but I only added the title of Fenglangsan official, and still held the position of military position. After that, I was released from Fuyang County and built Fuyang.

Shidi, which was used to prevent the floods of Qiantang River, facilitate transportation, and was renamed Tongzhilang. Later, he was appointed as a magistrate of Cangzhou and helped the people of ***. He first transferred me to Beijing as an official and was renamed the Minister of the Siong Temple, but he still took martial arts as his post!

"The old man drank a glass of wine and said.

"Oh, the difference between civil and military affairs is like a mountain stream. I am covered with shade and appointed as a Zhongxun Lang, and I am also a military vocation. I just hang out with me every day and have to be fumbling with these people. It's better to study and enroll!" The young man listened

The old man's story also sighed.

"It is easy to use literature to enter martial arts, but it is difficult to use martial arts to enter civil servants! During the Qingli period, Fan Zhongyan and civil officials Han Qi, Pang Ji and Wang Yan jointly presided over the war against Xia in Shaanxi. The Central Committee of the Song Dynasty ordered the four commanders to be replaced by military positions as observers. Fan Zhongyan

After receiving the appointment, I wrote letters one after another and refused to bow down. I wrote letters repeatedly but couldn't get them!" The old man said with a glass of wine, his face full of lonelyness.

"Equally important to both civil and military affairs is a political common sense in Chinese history. I didn't expect that the Song Dynasty was so biased!" Zhao Qi held a piece of meat and listened to the conversation between the two. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, even He, who was good at military strategists, was known for his military strategists!"

Qufei, a military strategist who wrote "Doctor He Preparation", "Sima Fa Lecture Notes" and "Three Latest Lecture Notes". His greatest wish was not to follow Sun Bin and Li Jing and other previous military strategists, but to strive to change his military status.

As a civil servant, it can be seen that although I tried to overestimate the "anti-martial" policy of the Song Dynasty, I didn't expect it to be low, and it was terrible.

'One relaxation and one relaxation is the way of civil and military affairs', Emperor Taizong of Tang clearly pointed out in "The Emperor's Movie" that "the two are passed on to the country. If the spirit of a long time runs through the ground, success or failure depends on the edge, huge waves will surging, and rise and fall will be determined.

After a while, at this moment, the sword will be precious and the order will be low. When the sea and the mountains are calm, the waves and dust have been cleared, the remaining power of the seven virtues will be reduced, and the nine merits will be improved. At this moment, the armor will be light,

But he emphasizes poetry and books. He knows that both the civil and military paths must be left to the right place. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. How can warriors and Confucians abolish them?"

Since the pre-Qin period, civil officials and military generals have played two important roles in the rule of dynasties and each assumed their own responsibilities. The elite talents in the ruling group can often be attracted by the military, and a large number of people who are also good at governing the country have emerged.

Outstanding military strategist.

What Zhao Qi didn't understand was that after the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, compared with the past, the status and quality of the military generals began to change significantly. Both the court and the country regarded military personnel as the root of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of

, established the political principle of preventing military generals in all aspects. At the same time, under the control of the idea of ​​"sharing the world with scholars and officials", the rapid development of the imperial examination system and its increasingly prominent position not only made the civil servants continuously expand, but also from "literary"

It has also become the goal pursued by the world. This has severely corroded the appeal of "military merits". As a result, outstanding talents are no longer willing to enter the military camp, and civil officials are even more reluctant to change their military positions.

By the time of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, the trend of "emphasizing culture over military affairs" reached its peak, and military achievements were widely despised by society. The Song people had this view: "The top scholar ascended the top scholar, and although he led hundreds of thousands of soldiers, he restored Youji and chased the strong.

The enemy was in poverty, and returned with great triumph, and offered victory to the Taimiao, and his honor was unattainable." In this context, civil officials completely controlled the command power of the army, and the group of military generals became supporting roles in the command system. The military generals in the Privy Council have already

There are very few, and local garrisons are basically commanded by civil servants.

...

"Teacher, we have been here for many days. What do you think about this place?" Perhaps it was because of the topic of Wen Guiwu Qing that made the two sad, and the young man changed the topic.

"From what I have seen in the past few days, what the man said is indeed true!" the old man sighed, "I used to pass by here on a boat in my early years. It was just a deserted village and a depressing place. Now there are many merchants and workshops everywhere.

What is even more valuable is that building dams and canals here to divert water and irrigate 10,000 acres of fertile land is a benefit to the people. Moreover, the people here are simple and peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It is not inferior to the capital. It is really a paradise, as the people here say

Xu, but Prince Yan has the talent for governing the world!"

"Teacher, I see that everyone here is martial. You see, their social divisions are well-trained, even the imperial guards may not be the case. Moreover, he has used a trick to wipe out the "a gust of wind".

More than a hundred people killed no one, and the methods were ruthless. I sighed that I was inferior to myself!" said the young man with a wry smile.

"In this battle, he first used the strategy of "building a plank road openly to overcome Chen Cang in secret" to evacuate the horse farm and mobilized the guards of the society but did not attack, so that the bandits thought he was afraid of fighting and underestimated the enemy. But at this time, he used the strategy of "stolen the pillars" to poison the bandits.

The horse not only made the bandits lose their ability to move quickly and make them panic, but he led his personal guards to launch a raid while the bandits were in chaos. At this time, the bandits had no intention of fighting, so how could they not be completely wiped out?

It would be a loss of God's virtue of killing all the people!" The old man commented on Zhao Qi's battle to suppress bandits.

"Listen to the teacher's comments, he still has the talent to command troops!" the young man smiled.

"Gao Chong, it's a pity that he was born in the imperial family. Otherwise, if there were more talented people in the Song Dynasty who could make peace with their country after ten years, and martial arts could make peace!" The old man said with some regret.

"Gao Chong?" Zhao Qi, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, was shocked. Suddenly there was something in his mind. He would not be the one mentioned in "Talking about Yue Quan Biography" that he sacrificed his life for the country to go to the battlefield. He was loyal to the heart.

But he won glory every day. The chariot was broken and he died first. Unfortunately, the general was not bad!
