Chinese dining table

Chapter 379 It's better to be simple-minded
Li Zhi refused to admit that he was from the Guanlong Group.

He felt that he was the emperor, and he should break out of the circle of the aristocratic family and become his own.

Then, all the families in the world became enemies of his family.

Therefore, Yunchu felt that the eldest grandson Wuji, who was dying, might not want to run the aristocratic family in Hebei and Shandong to their death.

Because, under certain circumstances, these aristocratic families should be part of the same group at this moment.

If you want to abolish the aristocratic family, you must first abolish the nine-rank official law that has been in effect for more than 400 years.

The so-called Nine-rank Official Personnel Law is actually the Nine-rank Zhongzheng System formulated by Chen Qun at the end of the Han Dynasty.

The nine-rank Zhongzheng system generally refers to the election of a Dazhongzheng by each state and county, and the elected Dazhongzheng must be an official in the central government and has a high reputation.

The big Zhongzheng regenerates the small Zhongzheng.

After the big and small Zhongzhengs were created, the imperial court distributed a talent survey form, in which talents were divided into nine grades, upper-upper, upper-middle, upper-lower, middle-upper, middle-middle, middle-lower, lower-upper, lower-middle, lower-middle, Down and down.

In this form, Zhongzheng, big and small, registered all the exiles from all over the place, regardless of whether he was an official or not, based on his own knowledge.

Xiao Zhongzheng assisted Da Zhongzheng to review and submit the form to the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials carried out the promotion and dismissal of officials accordingly.

This system provided an objective standard for the selection of officials at that time.

It sounds fair, but when it is implemented, it is easy for one person to ascend to heaven.

Under this system of selecting officials, the head of Guizhou was not eligible to participate, and the gentry represented them.

Therefore, the Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law became the production machine of the family, and according to the experience gained by Emperor Taizong during the rebellion, the family was the group of people who threatened the imperial power the most.

Those who rose up like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were easily wiped out, and mobs like the Yellow Turban Army were also easily divided and surrounded by gentry groups, and finally divided and swallowed.

The aristocratic family is different. They have money, food, territory, and talents, which can be said to have all the prerequisites for rebellion. Next, they just wait for the current emperor to make mistakes.

However, although the number of common people is huge, most of them are illiterate people. Although occasionally there are a few amazingly talented and brilliant people, because of the disadvantage in numbers, they are not the opponents of the wealthy families.

Wannian County has a population of more than [-], but there are only [-] literate people. Among them, a large number of merchants who are not qualified to be officials must be eliminated.

Therefore, most of the people recruited by the current scientific examination system in the Tang Dynasty are from poor families or from the class of small landlords.

Yunchu also came from a noble family, but this family pursued differently from other families. What Xuanzang pursued was the prosperity of Buddhism, and what he wanted was faith, which had nothing to do with Li Zhi's imperial power.

In Buddhism, Xuanzang himself is an important family.

These things were slowly figured out by Yunchu when he was studying in the Imperial College, and it was at that stage that Yunchu realized that his efforts were really insignificant, and the effect was far worse than the rumors that he had a relationship with Xuanzang.

Now, people have already decided that this is the fact, because since Yunchu started to do things, the Daci'en Temple presided over by Master Xuanzang has cared for him in all aspects and meticulously.

So much so that after Yunchu brought Master Xuanzang to Yun's family temple, even Li Zhi laughed it off, thinking that Yunchu was providing for Master Xuanzang for the elderly, and it was only related to family affection and had nothing to do with politics .

It is because of the existence of such a quiet and inactive eminent monk as Master Xuanzang that Li Zhi believed that Yunchu's appointment as an official was only to fulfill the great wish of building Chang'an, just like the monk's great wish to build a magnificent temple. There is a reason.

Therefore, being quiet and doing nothing, and focusing on building Chang'an is the foundation for Yunchu to continue to survive in the officialdom.

And after these years, Yunchu has also shown a strong desire to build Chang'an and fulfill his ambitions. He has no corruption, no bad political goals, takes the law as the yardstick, and does not sell anyone's account. This is In Li Zhi's mind, the best template for local officials in the capital.

Even if Yunchu is specially appointed as Chang'an Jingzhaoyin in the future, in his opinion, Yunchu is just an abbot of this grand temple in Chang'an, and it is not a big deal.

He, Li Zhi, has such a heart, he can accommodate a temple abbot who wants nothing, and he can even give him some help.

Having figured out his own foundation and his own advantages, Yunchu is going to use this Eastern Expedition to seek greater benefits for Wannian County as much as possible. If Yunchu behaves too indifferently during the Eastern Expedition, This is the kind of behavior that is harmful to him.

It is not right for a hundred thousand soldiers to stay in one place for a long time. After burning the smoke in Beisha City for three consecutive days, they went down the mountain and surrendered.

Yun Chu watched as Gao Kan ordered to cover the Goguryeo people who had taken off their armor and put down their weapons with bows and arrows.

Then, he led the army to advance northward. In front of him was Beifeng City. The reason why this city was called Beifeng City was because the land here was flat and fertile, which was very suitable for farming. It could be called the granary of Liaodong.

On the way, I met Goguryeo's reinforcements. These reinforcements came from Beifeng City. There were only 3000 people. When these people found themselves in a huge pocket composed of Tang troops, they wanted to retreat in a hurry. Guo Daifeng didn't give them any chance, and a war between cavalry and infantry started in a place called Baishan.

Guo Daifeng led the army to charge three times but was repelled by these Goguryeo spearmen.

In the end, under the watchful eyes of the senior and middle-ranking generals of the whole army, Guo Daifeng went crazy, took 50 personal soldiers as vanguards, and once again rushed up to this hill called Baishan, which was no more than [-] meters high.

The real Goguryeo general named Gao Hui fought to the last moment, his leg was broken, his arm was broken and he was still fighting until he was outnumbered and finally suppressed by five or six Tang troops before he was captured alive.

This person was captured alive, still dragging his broken leg and arm and yelling, for a moment, everyone was stunned.

The main reason is that after Guo Daifeng's strong attack, none of the Goguryeo people on Baishan surrendered. The tragedy of the battlefield is unbearable to watch.

Gao Kan ordered the man to be beheaded, and the two Tang soldiers surrounding him were so frightened by Gao Hui's bearded and haired appearance that they took a step back.

In the past, Yun Chu didn't believe that there were such people who were captured alive and still arrogant in this world.

Now I see that if he was from Tang Dynasty, Yunchu would respect him. Since he was from Goguryeo, Yunchu drew his sword and stepped forward, staring at Gao Huizhen's eye sockets that were about to crack, and beheaded him.

Guo Daifeng looked at Yunchu and said, "Facing such a warrior, do you have no respect at all?"

Yun Chu said: "I'm a civil servant, and I don't have as many thoughts as you generals, but I just think that this bastard has killed thousands of soldiers in my Tang Dynasty, and you still think that this person is respectable, it's really strange.

Also, with my army at your side, when you can't greet him alone, can you tell us so that we can go up and kill him together, so why let thousands of soldiers die for your ridiculous self-esteem?

We came to Liaodong to kill the Goguryeo people, not to be a hero. If you still want to be a hero next time, remember to use your own life to be a hero, don't use the life of my soldiers from the Tang Dynasty. "

When Yun Chu said these words, he was also full of anger. He still held the horizontal knife in his hand when he killed Gao Hui just now, and he seemed to be about to pounce on Guo Daifeng to kill him at any moment.

"Okay, let's go back!"

Gao Kan saw that Yunchu and Guo Daifeng were about to fight, his beard trembled in anger.

Yun Chu saluted Gao Kan: "The next time you fight, General, please keep our army away from Guo Daifeng. In the end, I will worry that this idiot's stupidity will pass on to our army."

Gao Kan looked at Yun Chu and said, "You just said you were a civil servant?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "The humble position is still the county magistrate of Wannian County, His Majesty has not decreed to remove the position of the low official."

Gao Kan said gloomyly: "What if I will send you to rescue Guo Daifeng next time?"

Yun Chu said: "I will definitely give up my life to rescue."

Hearing what Yunchu said, Gao Kan looked a little brighter, and said in front of the generals: "Since you have torn your face off today, let's make it clear that you despise Guo Daifeng, yet why are you willing to risk your life to save him from danger?" among?"

Yun Chu said: "Because you only care about fighting, and the matter of paying for the soldiers who died in battle is done by a county magistrate like me.

Relatives of soldiers who died in battle always ask me, is my son brave?
Every time I say that the son is unparalleled on the battlefield. "

When Yunchu finished speaking, he looked at Guo Daifeng and said, "If the soldiers under your command are on my Wannian County pension list, I will tell the relatives and relatives of the soldiers who died in the battle: Your son is brave and unparalleled, but unfortunately he belongs to you." Under the account of a fool, death is worthless."

"I'm going to kill you!" Guo Daifeng's eyes were red, and he flew towards him with blood all over his body holding the horizontal knife. Yun Chu swung away Guo Daifeng's horizontal knife and kicked Guo Daifeng heavily. on his chest, and kicked him flying out.

Before Guo Daifeng landed, Yunchu rushed forward, grabbed him by the back of the neck and lifted him up the mound, then pressed his face against the face of a dead soldier and shouted angrily, "Tell me, Should he die?"

Guo Daifeng struggled with his hands and feet, but he couldn't escape the control of Yunchu's hand no matter what, so that his roar slowly turned into a whimper, and finally wept loudly.

Yunchu raised his hand and threw Guo Daifeng into the pile of corpses, and he went down the mound to salute Gao Kan, "That's why I am ashamed to be with such generals. The general will fight and kill, and the last general will never complain."

While speaking, he swept across the generals present again, and said in a cold voice: "On the battlefield, the soldiers don't expect to live, but they must not be killed easily for some nonsense reasons.

Once I know about it, I will not only report to Your Majesty, but also tell the county magistrates who need to pay for the fallen soldiers like me, and tell their relatives what you have done. "
