Chapter 1403 Unavoidable trouble

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

Xu Wen suddenly felt a sense of guilt rising up. He seemed to have gotten into trouble today, making it difficult for His Majesty the Emperor.

"What are you guilty of?"

Sun Lei picked up a piece of meat and ate it, then looked at Xu Wen and asked.

"My advice today has caused trouble and made things difficult for Your Majesty!"

Xu Wen replied.

"There's nothing difficult to do, you did a great job, you just didn't think it through enough!"

Sun Lei shook his head and said, the problem will not disappear just because it is covered up. It is far better to expose it proactively than to cover it up.

"Your Majesty has already considered the issue you mentioned, but if you don't allow military generals to serve in local areas, the world is so big and there are hundreds of states and cities, who will you let guard it?"

"What's more, now that the world has just settled down, there will be unrest in the local area. If you let the civil servants go, will they be able to control it? In troubled times, heavy rules should be used!"

Wen Huanzhang looked at Xu Wen and said, he had discussed this meeting with Sun Lei in advance, but Xu Wen had a low official position and did not participate, so today's scene happened.

"But...but the general has gone somewhere, and if he rebels, the world will be in chaos again!"

Xu Wen opened his mouth and said, why did all dynasties like civilian officials to govern the place? Not only because civilian officials knew better, but also because they were not threatening and lacked the ability to rebel.

"Why don't you eat? Are you afraid of choking?"

Sun Lei pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Four people can't finish ten dishes if they don't open them up."

Xu Wen quickly picked up his chopsticks and started eating. The food tasted very good, and it was considered a well-prepared delicacy that he had ever eaten. However, because he was too nervous, he suddenly choked and drank water quickly.

"I...I'm rude!"

Xu Wen said with some shame.

"Look, you can choke when you eat. Do you have to give up eating because of choking? Military generals are indeed more likely to rebel, but you can't deny them because of this. When they are fighting for the country, they throw their lives and blood and charge forward. I am willing to give them this little trust. ?”

Sun Lei looked at Xu Wen and asked.

Xu Wen didn't know how to answer. In fact, what military generals did was no less than that of civil servants.

"What I hope is that what you said today is what you want to say, not what someone asked you to say!"

Sun Lei looked at Xu Wen and said, if there are some forces behind Xu Wen's instigation, then this matter will change.

"Your Majesty, no one encouraged me, it was just something I felt today!"

Xu Wen quickly said that he didn't know everything before going to court today. When Sun Lei announced those appointments, he spoke impulsively.

"That's good! I hope you keep it!"

Sun Lei nodded and pointed at the dishes on the table to indicate for him to continue eating.

The meal was finished quickly, and four people finished ten dishes.

"I won't punish you today. Someone will definitely win over you next time. You can take care of it yourself!"

Sun Lei looked at Xu Wen and said.

"Win me over?"

Xu Wen looked at Sun Lei in confusion. He didn't understand what it meant.

"Go down and understand for yourself!"

Sun Lei waved his hand and said.

"I resign!"

Xu Wen quickly bowed and left.

"Your Majesty, I have nothing to do!" Li Zhu bowed and apologized. Although Sun Lei did not blame him and did not punish Xu Wen, Xu Wen's sudden advice today caused a lot of trouble. The military commander must have some hidden intentions. resentment.

"Mr. Li, your position is not easy!"

Sun Lei looked at Li Zhu and said, "Yushitai has never been a pleasant place. It was not obvious during the war. Now that the war has calmed down, it has become the most offensive job to do something."

"I will try my best!"

Li Assistant spoke.

"There will be more troubles in the future. For example, the southern literary style is flourishing. If these people cannot serve as officials in large numbers, they will be dissatisfied and criticize the court among the people."

"But the martial arts style is stronger in the north. If we emphasize culture and suppress martial arts, it will also cause dissatisfaction, and there will be many people who fall into the trap of bandits, causing turmoil."

"There are other places, because various imbalances will always lead to differences, and if there are differences, there will be dissatisfaction!"

Wen Huanzhang said that troublesome things are almost all related to human nature, and human nature is the most difficult to control.

"It doesn't matter. What I stand for in Liangshan is fairness, fairness, fairness. If they have the ability, let them show it. The literary style is strong in the south. If they have the ability, they will all be listed in the imperial examination! The martial arts style is strong in the north? Go to the Chinese Army to practice and see how many pounds you have. two!"

Sun Lei drank tea and said, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had also encountered this problem, but Lao Zhu's handling was very stupid. The imperial examination selects talents. If you focus on checks and balances, why bother? If the emperor can do it for the sake of balance, Fraud, what will the people below do?

"Now that the world has been settled, many things will become complicated and not as simple as before, but there is no need to think so much about solving them. Remember our original intention of establishing Qi State is not for any party, but for the dreams in our hearts! "

"It's like there is a story about a large tangled ball of thread that no one can untie, and the more it is untied, the more entangled it becomes, so the way to untie it is to split it with a knife!"

Sun Lei patted Wen Huanzhang and Li Zhu on the shoulders and said, Qi State cannot avoid the problems encountered by the previous dynasty, but Qi State is destined not to follow the same old path.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wen Huanzhang and Li Zhu heard the determination in Sun Lei's words and solemnly saluted. With Sun Lei's words, they knew what to do next.

"Okay, I'll go see the general!"

Sun Lei left the Imperial Study Room. He needed to solve the trouble caused by Xu Wen today.

Privy Council.

All the generals were still angry. Xu Wen's words today offended them all, and they all clamored to teach Xu Wen a lesson.

"Everyone, calm down and don't cause trouble. Your Majesty will punish you when the time comes!"

Lin Chong looked at the generals and said.

"The same goes for you. How can an eighth-grade official make you like this just by saying something? I think your concentration is still too weak. Just follow the Sa family and recite the Buddha's name!"

Lu Zhishen looked at everyone and said.

"Instructor Lin, Master, that little intellectual Xu Wen dared to slander us. We have achieved great results with real swords and guns."

Everyone was still unwilling.

"Whoever is so angry should throw him away to Liangshan and calm down!"

Sun Lei's voice sounded.

When everyone heard this, they turned around quickly and saw Sun Lei appearing at the door. Everyone hurriedly paid homage.

"I heard your complaints outside the door! Are you so angry? It seems you are not tired enough!"

Sun Lei sat on the main seat and said.

"These guys are only thinking about fighting, and now they are thinking about causing trouble when they are free!"

Lu Zhishen looked at everyone and said, now he feels that his xinxing has improved a lot. He recalled that he was just like these generals in Weizhou back then.

"If you have nothing to do, take them out to practice more and use up their excess energy. Why are they making such a fuss? You want to get a military stick like Tieniu, right?"

Sun Lei looked at everyone with a bad face. He couldn't be nice when dealing with generals. It was normal for him to make mistakes and get beaten here.

Sure enough, as soon as the military sticks came out, no one dared to say anything. Li Kui was sentenced to five hundred military sticks. He couldn't beat him all at once, and he couldn't kill him, so he beat him five times, one hundred military sticks a month. If I can spank him for half a year, Li Kui's butt will not be healed in this half year.
