God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Being alive means there are always variables, and if your body is still strong, it means that the probability of this change is still very high.

Under normal circumstances, when one reaches Huangfu Song’s age, the thing he would think about is no longer fighting on the battlefield.

But the question is how to avoid going to the battlefield at an old age.

Being strong and healthy despite old age is a compliment to an individual, but for a country, it is full of helplessness.

If there could be a successor, who would be willing to let an old man fight bravely for the country in his later years?

On the battlefield, swords and knives are blind. Even the most powerful commander cannot guarantee that he will not encounter any accidents.

Coupled with certain political tendencies, the evaluation of a military general, especially the final evaluation, basically has to wait until after his death.

There is no other way. In order to ensure the fairness and correctness of the Temple of Martial Arts, and even its hidden political nature, the situation of candidates for the Temple of Martial Arts emerged.

The reason why they are candidates for the Temple of Martial Arts is that these people are still alive, so they can only wait.

Moreover, the candidates for the Martial Temple of the previous era are actually much stronger than the candidates for the Martial Temple of this era.

Theoretically speaking, as long as it has been determined that one does not belong to one of the 13 places in this era, and as long as he does not make any major mistakes, he will definitely enter the Temple of Martial Arts after his death. Huangfu Song enjoyed such an opportunity.

In other words, as long as Huangfu Song did not lose his integrity in his later years, rebel on the spot, or defect to the enemy country, etc., his situation would be completely stable.

However, candidates for the Martial Temple who are a younger generation enjoy completely different treatment. Because of their outstanding performance, those who are evaluated in this way will eventually face an invisible restriction, which is the specific number of places.

Perhaps in the current situation, thirteen places are not too few in the eyes of everyone.

But in Liu Tong's opinion, thirteen places are really not many, especially for subsequent external development and advancement, which are basically in the form of force, political assistance, and logistical support.

In this environment, large-scale legion battles or various strategies will be put on the table to redouble efforts for the ultimate victory.

By then, no matter whether it is the army or the navy, there will definitely be a lot of wars and battles, and there will definitely be a lot of famous generals born from them.

When the time comes, thirteen people will be selected, and they will be able to secure their positions in the Temple of Martial Arts based on their battle records and abilities. Of course, if they cannot secure this position, it can be revoked.

After all, the maximum is 13, not the minimum, so there is no problem at all.

"Since Your Highness has said so, the subsequent construction, design, and manufacturing of the Martial Temple will be handed over to the people of the Wonder Research Center. I wonder if Your Highness allows it?" Chen Xi turned his head to look at Liu Tong and said with a smile.

When Liu Tong heard these words and felt the focused gazes, he finally nodded.

Lu Yi couldn't help but shook his head after hearing these words.

Even now, these two people are still exactly the same as before. The change in their identities has not affected their desire to set traps for each other.

Cai Yan, who also came to Chang'an for some special reasons and was invited to the Government Affairs Hall by the foresighted Chen Xi, picked up the pen in her hand and silently wrote down: "The emperor talked about the standards for the Martial Temple. Everyone discussed it. No one objected. All agreed. Xi advised that the establishment of the temple was based on miracles. The emperor agreed!"

Seeing Cai Yan start writing, many people raised their eyebrows and looked at Cai Yan with complicated eyes. It's not that there are no historians among the people present, but in this era, there has never been any historian like Cai Yan, who recorded so openly and unscrupulously in front of others.

As for the people who were recorded, no matter whether it was good or bad, their feelings towards Cai Yan were actually quite complicated.

No matter whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, as long as it is recorded, it means that it can be passed down in the future and accompany the years.

From this perspective, good things will get better and bad things will get worse, so you have to think carefully before you speak.

Because if you speak carelessly, you may really be infamous for eternity.

As for changing the historian's book and changing the historian's ideas, this is difficult. It has been done in history, but the fact that it is still hung on the pillar of shame today is enough to illustrate the cost of this situation.

What's more, Cai Yan is currently an orphan and a weak woman. If she were to go and make changes, it would be a record of someone bullying an orphan and a weak woman, and it would be even more embarrassing if it were to be passed down.

We are all at this level. Who doesn’t want to save face?

It is said that one can be shameless in order to fight for interests, but when it comes to this aspect, everyone still has to have dignity.

For aristocratic families, reputation and glory themselves are part of the benefits, and are also the way many families pass down their legacy.

Besides, among the people currently sitting in the Government Affairs Hall, none of those who can make decisions have objected, so they naturally cannot act as pawns.

Especially Cai Yan's behavior of being invited back was abnormal no matter how you looked at it.

Of course, it is precisely because of this identity that is revealed in public that many people have reduced their contact with Cai Yan.

Trouble comes from the mouth, and no one knows whether what they say will affect the evaluation recorded in history books.

Cai Yan in particular during this period was also responsible for copying and recording past historical books and diaries, and preserving them.

And if they really saw something good during this process, they would be doomed...

It was also because of Cai Yan's existence that even Liu Tong, who had always been rather lazy, tried his best to avoid being lazy when he appeared in the Government Affairs Hall or when he was working in the Weiyang Palace.

There is no way. When facing Cai Yan normally, I can feel the pressure brought by Cai Yan, not to mention writing in front of me. It would be really silent.

In order not to harm later generations and to leave a relatively fair recording environment, Liu Tong can only say that it is a good thing that you are Cai Yan and I am Liu Tong.

However, with the change of emperors, I cannot guarantee whether there will be such officials in the future.

After all, not everyone is like her.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Xi particularly likes to take Cai Yan in and out of the Government Affairs Hall and even the Weiyang Palace, because when Liu Tong faces Cai Yan, he is really working instead of just doing things perfunctorily.

So much so that sometimes Liu Tong wondered whether he had cheated Chen Xi in the past or cheated himself now. (End of this chapter)
