Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 530
Set up the backyard of the envoy's yamen and set up a banquet early.When Wang Xiaolie and Chen Qiudao came in, everyone saluted together.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Because of the domestic slave, Chen Shenhui was implicated, and was suspended for three months, and the term expires today. We have been colleagues for many years, and we specially arranged a banquet to welcome Chen Shenshu. There are many recent things that need to be listened to. Views."

Chen Qiudao bowed his hands, feeling ashamed.

Everyone sat down, cheered and drank.After drinking for three rounds, Wang Xiaolie said to Chen Qiudao: "Sensei, you have worked hard for these three months. It's not that I have any opinion on you, but that the rules are like this, so you must abide by them."

The two drank a glass of wine.Chen Qiudao said: "In the past three months, I have figured it out, and I know what Jie Shuai means. Once the rules are set, if we fail to abide by them, then the rules will inevitably be riddled with holes. After a long time, I'm afraid it will be unsightly. Suspending me for three months is a good thing to say, it made me understand how to be an official. There are some things that officials should try to avoid."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Since you are an official, you must know what kind of official you are. If there are no officials in the world who are not corrupt, and you can't even support your family with your salary alone, you are eager to become an official, thinking about it." It is impossible to be as clean as water. The so-called state has the way to be an official, and the state has no way to hide. At this time, scholars should be honest and do other things to support their families. Instead of becoming an official, being greedy and greedy, and saying that the world is like this , not my fault. If an official’s salary is generous and the treatment is good, then he should be this official. Not only to be an official, but also to be a good official.”

Chen Yuyi said: "What Jieshuai said is true. Therefore, officials only distinguish between clean officials and corrupt officials, but they are not forced to be corrupt when they are clearly clean officials. If the world is like this, you can choose not to be an official. There are many things that can be done in the world, not just doing Officials can support their families.”

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "That's right, that's exactly the reason. I hope that people who are officials can have easy work, good income, and high salary, so that outstanding talents will be willing to do it. It's not that the salary of an official is very low, and there are many things to do. , I can only try my best to make money for myself. Power is in the hands of officials. If their income is not high, they will find a way for themselves. Officials only want to make money for themselves, and the world will be in chaos. Thinking about giving officials less Money, they will be greedy, they will find their own way, and they can still do things, talk about it!"

Everyone nodded, understanding what Tianxiaohun meant.

We have been together for three years, and gradually understand Wang Xiaolie's personality.Generally speaking, Wang Xiaolie treats people generously and will not treat his subordinates harshly.Self-discipline is extremely strict, and the requirements of his subordinates are also strict.

In fact, Wang Xiaolie's temper is not good, he has a quick temper, and he is easy to act impulsively, but he can control it.Think twice before acting, and never do risky things.Even if you really want to do something, as long as the timing is not right, you can suppress it.Over the past few years, his temperament has really improved a lot.Even in the eyes of some people, he is a good old man.

When Wang Xiaolie strictly enforced the discipline and asked Chen Qiudao to suspend his post, everyone remembered, how could Wang Xiaolie be a good guy?Bringing hundreds of local soldiers, seizing the opportunity and becoming a party force, this is not something good people do.

Chen Qiudao's suspension is a real suspension.Not only was he locked up in a prison-like place, but he was also strictly prohibited from contacting official business.Sometimes, Wang Xiaolie really wanted to hear Chen Qiudao's opinion, but he could only restrain himself.If the suspension is not like the suspension, and you still deal with official business, isn't this rule set in vain?

So today when Chen Qiudao came back, Wang Xiaolie was very happy.For three months, Wang Xiaolie worked part-time on civil affairs, which was really exhausting.

After drinking a glass of wine, Wang Xiao said: "Master said, at seventy, you can do what you want without breaking the rules. I hope that officials can do the same. You don't have to constantly think about what you can't do and what will happen if you do that. Work hard. It’s about what you should do yourself, and you will do it naturally, and you will not violate the rules if you do it. Being an official is easy and comfortable, and you can also abide by the rules.”

The rest of the people couldn't help but smile when they heard this.Wang Xiaolie's words sounded good, but they were actually just words.Officials have too much power, and there are too many opportunities to realize it, how many people can hold back?

Wang Xiaolie said: "During Confucius' time, the world was not unified, and many things were different from now. After the world was unified, how people lived became a problem. As common people, how do we want to live? As the imperial court, how do we want people to live?" ?Many theories are trying to solve this problem. To be honest, none of them can solve it well. I thought and thought, the most appropriate way is to put those theories on how to live, not asking the people, but Require the government. Officials are different, but the government as a whole must be a gentleman. Many political affairs are done according to this requirement, which is much better."

Wang Ruohai said: "What Jie Shuai said is very good. It's just that this kind of thing has to be done step by step."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "That's right, it has to be done step by step, otherwise things will go wrong. ——Okay, I'm happy to get it back today, and I have a lot to talk about. Let's stop this topic and let's have a drink. "

Several people drank and ate meat, and it was really lively for a while.

Wang Xiaolie felt a little drunk, stopped drinking, and ordered a glass of pear juice.

After taking a sip of the fruit juice, Wang Xiaolie said: "Dezhi will come back today, and will take over the government affairs tomorrow. Let me tell you about the current situation. Only by understanding the situation can we know what to do."

Chen Qiudao bowed his hands and said yes.

Wang Xiaolie said: "This year the Jin army's main attack direction is still Sichuan and Shu. Wushu is stationed in Guanzhong, and there is also Sa Lihe to help. The strength of the army cannot be underestimated. However, the Qinling Mountains are naturally dangerous. With the help of the Wu family brothers, Zhang Shumi is still there. It can be defended. According to my estimation, in the next two years, the offensive direction of the Golden Army will still not change. Of course, if something unexpected happens, it will be hard to say."

Chen Qiudao said: "I don't know what is the unexpected thing Jie Shuai said?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "For example, we will make a large-scale northern expedition. As long as we send troops, Liu Yu will definitely attack with all his strength. Liu Yu's military strength, if only counting soldiers, is about 5. Even if the army is expanded to the limit, because Jingdong and Jingxi The people fleeing will not exceed 8 at most. Such a force is not enough to attack us, and the Puppet Qi will inevitably turn to the Jin army. Then in the west of Beijing, we will face an attack of more than [-] troops."

Chen Qiudao pondered, "Is Commander Jie interested in the Northern Expedition?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "I'm just thinking about it now. A few days ago, when Li Zhong attacked Jinzhou and captured Junzhou, our Chinese army went to rescue. I watched the training situation of the Chinese army in the past six months, and it was generally not bad. Of course, there are still some problems. The more serious one is that the enthusiasm of the soldiers below is not enough, and too little work has been done in this area. This is not something that happens overnight. I hope to carry out training for the remaining armies. When the training is completed, it is time for the Northern Expedition."

After hearing this, Li Yanxian couldn't help but said: "Marshal Jie is too demanding. I think the Chinese army is already very strong."

Wang Xiaolie said: "If you just want to defeat the Jin army, it is indeed enough. The Jin army is not strong enough, and the territory it occupies is too large, so it is impossible to gather too many troops on one battlefield. As long as one battlefield is won, the war is easy to say. Yes. However, we do not just want to defeat the Jin Army, but to completely change military traditions. In this sense, the current drills are not enough. And if the drills are not good at the beginning, it will be even more difficult to say later. Furthermore, we It is not enough to restore the Kaifeng Mansion, but to completely defeat the Jin Dynasty."

The rest of the people did not speak.In their eyes, the Chinese army that has completed the training is already strong enough to be invincible.Wang Xiaolie just said that it was not enough, which is really incomprehensible.

Wang Xiaolie ignored everyone.Then he said: "The situation of Jin Jun and Liu Yu is like this. As long as we don't provoke him for the time being, they will not provoke us. As for this dynasty, it is gradually becoming peaceful. In the Lianghuai area, there are only two or three small groups left. Power can't make any waves. Zhang Taiwei led Yue Fei to fight in Jiangxi and Hunan in the past year, and the results were great. Li Cheng was defeated and fled to Puppet Qi. Kong Yanzhou occupied Ezhou, and recently he was under the attack of Zhang Taiwei. If you retreat, it will be calmed down soon. The most powerful ones are Yang Mo from Dongting Lake, and Fan Ruwei from Fujian. Yang Mo is far away from the southeast, and the threat is not great. Fujian is in chaos, so it must be calmed down. .I estimate that in the next year, the imperial court should focus on pacifying Fujian Road and Guangdong Road. To be honest, the imperial court does not like us, but there will be no major incidents in three or four years."

Wang Xiaolie's situation is actually similar to Yang Mo's.The sphere of influence is far away from the southeast region, so it is not a confidant of the imperial court.Also in the border area, the Song Dynasty did not have enough troops to defend for the time being, so it could only let it develop.

Looking at the crowd, Wang Xiao said: "We are not suitable for the Northern Expedition now. There are no big forces around, and the situation is relatively peaceful. I decided that in the next one or two years, I will try my best to develop Jiang Min's unit in Hedong. The Jin Army In Shaanxi, Hedong is relatively empty, and this is our opportunity. The so-called heaven and earth will not take it, but we will be blamed instead. This opportunity cannot be missed!"
