Chapter 337

The Duke of Wei is going back to Nanjing. When he saw him farewell at Changting, there was no outsider, the Duke of Wei said worriedly to Zhao Xing: "This case is taken into your hands, but this is a hot yam. The virtuous uncle should deal with it with caution."

Zhao Xing bowed to the old man: "Thank you for your concern, I have a clear idea in my heart."

The Duke of Wei breathed a little relieved: "I know your purpose is to strengthen our group and to make us and the generals we represent again valued. But as far as I know, Li Shixuan is a dull person. He cannot read literature and cannot kill chickens. He actually has no use to us. Once you end up with a mistake in order to achieve your goal, it will be endless troubles for you."

What Duke Wei was worried about was reasonable, because since that day, Zhao Xing had clearly stated that the case must be brought into the real case.

If this matter is true, there is nothing to say, but once this matter is false and eventually exposed by others, Zhao Xing will be in a doom.

Zhao Xing said calmly: "The ultimate goal of my doing this is only one, that is, to improve our military generals represented by nobles." Then he sighed: "The Ming Dynasty has been too much to emphasize civil affairs and over military officials. Civil officials regard military generals as pigs and dogs, and military generals are willing to fall into depravity. You also know that there is no need to cover up anything. The turmoil in the Ming Dynasty has been formed, and it is inevitable that soldiers will cause internal and external troubles in the future. When the Han people are in turmoil and may be occupied by Jiannu at any time, we are once again needed to prevent this colorful world from being contaminated by the Tartars."

Duke Wei was not surprised by the serious situation mentioned by Zhao Xing, nor did he say that Zhao Xing was exaggerating. Civil officials could be drunk and dreamed of robbing the bell, but as nobles who had always defended the Ming court, they would never dare to take it lightly. Because he knew deeply that when the country was at its most dangerous time, they still needed to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and be loyal to the country.

"And our generals are killing the enemy in front, and the civil servants behind us are trying their best to restrain us. How can we let go? I will never let Yuan Chonghuan kill Mao Shuai happen again."

Since Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Shuai, civil officials have now developed the desire for life and death and robbery for military generals. In order to establish the prestige of civil officials, they rely on not killing thieves to make contributions, but on killing military generals to establish authority. And the more they kill, they are specializing in finding the killing with the greatest contribution and the highest prestige.

Yuan Chonghuan was the first person to set the bad precedent.

Not only did he set a bad precedent, but most importantly, he was disappointed with the hearts of these generals and made them no longer have the desire to defend the country and kill the enemy.

What aggravates the disappointment of this general is that Emperor Chongzhen gave Wen Cheng's increasingly deformed mentality, and was tolerant and tolerant.

After such incidents, the civil officials robbed the military merits of military generals, and became more and more excited as they killed them; but the military generals had nowhere to seek justice, and they could not get the emperor's protection, and finally they completely gave up. So later, when the military generals encountered the peasant army on the battlefield, they surrendered to the peasant army, and when they encountered the Qing Dynasty, they surrendered to the Jiannu.

For example, the current Ming nobles in this era had five dukes, 20 marquises, and 41 earls, three dukes, and nine marquis either surrendered to Dashun or surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and there were countless earls who surrendered to the country.

Are they willing to give up their ancestors and surrender to the enemy with the Ming Dynasty, which they had protected for generations of life? No, it was because they were completely disappointed.

Duke of Wei could only sigh at Zhao Xing's good intentions: "Who in this world still waves the flag and shouts for the generals, and who still values ​​the generals? This world is already terminally ill in this matter and cannot be saved."

Zhao Xing said lightly: "People save themselves and always save them. If the old man gives up on himself first, who can save him? Therefore, if we want to regain the dignity of the general, we must start with ourselves."

In the end, the respected Wei State publicly said: "It's easy to say, but it's hard to do."

Zhao Xing slammed his fist firmly on the table: "It's not difficult, we have already started a good start."

"Where did you start?" Duke Wei looked at Zhao Xing in confusion. They really didn't understand where this so-called good deed was reflected.

"First of all, in the court yesterday, everyone's performance has touched the emperor's heart and made the emperor pay attention to the role of nobles and military generals. Especially the Yisi change, the emperor once again realized that the unreliable civil officials and the indispensable generals. The emperor once again paid attention to our noble groups, and made him understand once again that only we are the foundation for truly loyal and loyal to protecting the Zhu family's territory."

When this matter was mentioned, Duke Wei's eyes lit up.

Yes, from yesterday's court meeting, after everyone's performance of crying and cheering, everyone saw from the emperor that their distrust and defense of the noble group had faded. Instead, they took you seriously again. This is a good start.

"But this will only allow the emperor to regain his trust in us for the time being, and then we must be hardened ourselves. Faced with the oppression and bullying of civil servants, we will no longer be timid. Why should second-rank generals kneel down to seventh-rank officers? We must straighten our chests upright and let them kneel down to us."

"This requires confidence and confidence. Not to mention confidence, but confidence comes from the unity?" Duke Wei couldn't help but ask nervously.

Zhao Xing said confidently: "The confidence of a military general is to find it through repeated military achievements."

The Duke of Wei shook his head in disappointment: "Because now we are implementing civil governance, even if the military generals below make great contributions, they will be occupied by civil servants, which is even more frustrating."

Zhao Xing smiled and pointed at his nose: "The confirmation of military merits is that both the Jinyiwei have been under the jurisdiction of the Jinyiwei. I will never let the military merits of the soldiers be buried." Then he laughed: "Of course, everything cannot be achieved overnight, and it needs to be done slowly. It is also necessary to let some military industry give to civil officials. I have done this. But the premise is that I give it to you, you have to thank me. Instead of robbing me like before, you are still justified and taken for granted."

Zhang Zhiji asked, "What if they still rob?"

Zhao Xing said confidently: "My principle is, if you want it, you tell me that you can only get it if I agree; but if I don't agree, if you dare to reach out, I will chop up your hand." Zhang Zhiji shrank his neck.

Duke Wei smiled and nodded: "This method is good, it is moderate and harmonious. However, how can all the soldiers know that the emperor trusts us again?"

Zhao Xing picked up the wine glass and looked at the two people present: "These are all our family members, so I won't hide their family members. This problem must be solved by the Korean public." Now Zhao Xing has called Li Shixuan, who has not yet been confirmed, back to South Korea.

"So, I have decided to make sure that this person is a descendant of the Korean Gong, and it is an ironclad case. In order to promote his old love and his filial piety, the emperor must be loud and loud, and everyone in the world knows it. Our Jinyiwei is of course the only candidate for this matter. Then I will bring some private goods here to promote the emperor's grace and trust in our military generals at this time. In this way, let the soldiers regain their confidence, isn't it natural?"

Everyone nodded and said yes. In fact, this is not considered a deception to Zhao Xing. As long as this matter is announced, the soldiers will naturally think of the emperor and regain their importance to the generals. Otherwise, why would they give such great grace?

"So how can we gain the emperor's true trust and reliance?"

Zhao Xing suddenly said gloomyly: "Since the emperor has re-rewarded the Han Duke, this Han Duke should give something to the glory and wealth of his descendants. He will die in a glorious battle."

Then he looked at everyone present in surprise: "As soon as he recovered his title, he died for the country, so that the emperor could see that each of us nobles is still the backbone of the Ming Dynasty and the most loyal to the emperor." Then he leaned his body easily on the back of the chair: "And this Korean man, who has used his own life to protect the glory and wealth of his descendants, is there anything else that is not worth it?"

In the Changting, Duke of Wei looked at Zhao Xing's people and couldn't help but suck the cold air one by one. This made them feel arising in their hearts that it was so ridiculous that they wanted to use him as a gun.

Now everyone knows who is using whom as a gun.
