Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 242 The truth of the evidence is not that important
  In fact, Li Zhi could not understand the real meaning behind Sanshou's surrender to the city.

After all, he is not the emperor immediately, and he has been weak since childhood, so he is not good at this.

It's just that a series of recent events have proven that as long as Chen Qingsi writes such a lot of things for him, there will be no mistakes, and she has already developed a certain amount of trust in his abilities.

However, Li Zhi was never blind in this regard, and still sent people to ask Li Ji and Gao Kan to listen to their opinions.

Consulting Li Ji There is no doubt that as the number one person in the military, Li Zhi will seek Li Ji's attitude whenever he makes major military moves.

Even if he has already decided something, you should ask him a question to show that you value him.

As for Gao Kan, it is because Gao Kan has been active in Northern Xinjiang all year round and knows the situation in Northern Xinjiang very well.

Gao Kan, the current general of the Wei, was serving in the imperial city and arrived first.

Li Zhi asked the chamberlain to hand Chen Qingsi's "Please set up Sanshou surrender to the city" to him.

Gao Kan didn't know many things about Chen Qingsi. After all, his overall view was related to the court's future strategy, and it was inconvenient to reveal it before it was implemented.

The battle in Lingzhou was indeed beautiful, but it was nothing worth bragging about. In addition to causing a lot of repercussions in Shilin, it did not cause a big sensation in the military. It was an ordinary achievement.

Therefore, for a general like Gao Kan who had commanded the battle to destroy the Turkic Khan, a few Xiao Yehu were not worth mentioning.

While holding the memorial, Gao Kan didn't say anything, and he couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart. After a battle, he was dictating military matters?

But when he read the content of "Please set up Sanhou to surrender to the city", his eyes immediately changed. When he was ordered to attack the Turkic Chebi Khan, the imperial court did not send troops. Li Shimin directly recruited Huihe, Pugu and other tribes. Gao Kan conducts.

Gao Kan led more than ten mounted guards and led the Tiele people to fight the Turks on the grassland.

This war lasted for one year and nine months. He commanded the Tiele tribe to live together for one year and nine months, and he knew their living habits, offensive and defensive characteristics very well.

The Sanshou surrender city system can be regarded as hitting the Achilles heel of the grassland tribes. With a small amount of troops, the entire Hetao can be frightened.

Gao Kan couldn't help but said: "Mr. Chen actually has such a foresight?"

Li Zhi saw Gao Kan's strange appearance. As a Bo Le, he couldn't help but said with pride: "General Gao only knows the tip of the iceberg of Chen Aiqing's abilities."

Li Ji arrived this time.

Regarding Chen Qingsi's "Please set up Sanshou surrender to the city", this Sikong was relatively calm.

It's no surprise already.

However, Li Ji's understanding of "Please set up Sanshou surrender to the city" is far better than that of Li Zhi and Gao Kan.

"Your Majesty, the idea of ​​Sanshoujiang City is feasible. It is not only feasible but should be vigorously promoted. Huaiyuan County's successful attempt shows that the northern economy has great potential, but it has not yet been developed. Once Sanshoujiang City is built, we will be one step closer to controlling the Hetao , a tea and horse trading market can be set up near Zhongshoujiang City. This can stabilize the relationship between the two parties and obtain various important supplies such as cattle, horses and sheep."

Historically, the system of surrendering cities to three cities ensured that there was basically no war in the Hetao area. The biggest benefit was the tea-horse trade.

The sudden rise of Tubo seriously threatened the horse administration of the Tang Dynasty. Only by obtaining a large number of war horse resources from the Hetao Plain could the decadence be restored.

……

Lingzhou. Chen Qingsi was counting the days. It took him eleven days to go north to investigate Xu Kai's case, thirteen days to deal with the attack of Tiele's five troops, thirty-three days to search for Zheng Rentai, and nine days to wait for the court. It has been sixteen days since the order to withdraw the troops was given, and it took a total of eighty-two days.

"Ha, less than three months, plenty of time!"

Chen Qingsi smiled proudly. She was pregnant in October, and it has only been four months. Six months later, she can return to Beijing no matter what.

His laughter attracted Di Renjie's attention, and he asked, "What are you laughing at, sir!"

Chen Qingsi said: "Huaiying, come and sit down. I'm counting the time..."

Seeing that he was a little confused, he explained: "My wife was diagnosed with pregnancy before going north, and she was thinking about when she could go back."

Di Renjie hurriedly said: "It turns out to be such a happy event. Congratulations from the students, sir."

Chen Qingsi looked at Di Renjie in front of him and said, "If my wife gives birth to a boy, how about becoming a disciple of Huaiying?"

Di Renjie didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Student, how can you have such ability?"

Chen Qingsi said: "Are you being modest? I don't know what you are capable of? Xiao He and Guan Zhong are just like that."

Di Renjie said: "Sir, don't make fun of the students. The students came to see you today because they have something to ask for advice."

Chen Qingsi put away her smile, but did not change her mind. She pointed to the mat beside her with some seriousness and said, "Let's talk and listen!"

Since you are called sir, no matter whether you are qualified or not, you must at least behave like a gentleman.

Di Renjie said: "There is one thing that puzzles the students, and that is the incident of Captain Xu Kai. Indeed, there are many signs that Xu Kai behaved improperly. But my husband's reaction was a bit bigger. He went directly to the door to force the palace, forcing Governor Huang to lead troops to arrest Xu Kai. Kai. The result was just as Mr. expected, and he even saw through Mobeitiele’s intention to rebel. But all of this is completely baseless, how can Mr. be sure that everything is true? "

Chen Qingsi was asked and didn't know how to answer. He couldn't say that he knew history. He knew that soon there would be a group of tens of thousands of Tiele soldiers from the Nine Surnames who would gather hundreds of thousands of troops to rebel, causing quite a storm in Mobei.

Looking at the eyes full of curiosity, Chen Qingsi pretended to be profound and said: "It has been so long, why are you asking now?"

Di Renjie said: "Things have priorities, and national affairs come first. Such trivial matters are not worth mentioning. It's just that the students themselves are good at torture and judging cases, but compared with the teacher, they are really nothing. I have been thinking about it so far, and I still can't think of it. Breaking the key. Now that everything is over, I kindly ask you, sir, to clear up the confusion."

Chen Qingsi asked: "What does the truth and evidence mean to Huaiying?"

Di Renjie said: "It is important. There is only one truth. Evidence is the key to revealing the truth, and it is also a necessary condition for convincing people."

Chen Qingsi praised: "This is the most admirable thing about Huaiying. In the future, when you become successful, you must never forget your original intention. But you have called me sir so many times, so today I will teach you something. For you, the truth and evidence are very important. , but in my eyes the truth and evidence are not worth mentioning. His Majesty sent me north for two reasons. One, as a border commander, whether Governor Huang colluded with Feng Yang Wenwu. The other, to give General Qibi Heli An explanation.”

"As you said, I just had an idea at the time without any evidence. It proved that Xu Kai was reselling military rations and even weapons, let alone Tiele's rebellion. But we already have evidence that Xu Kai and Feng Yang colluded, even if it was about selling refined salt , this is enough. Collusion between civil and military forces for smuggling is a serious mistake, and it is enough to give His Majesty an explanation and give the General an explanation."

"So at that moment, I was invincible, and other evidence was insignificant."

"Extraordinary things require extraordinary measures. Many times, the evidence and truth are not that important."

If it were Bao Zheng, he might not agree.

But Chen Qingsi believed that Di Renjie could understand.
