The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 206

Flipping through the books on the case, it was impressive to see the people's livelihood, national conditions, legislation and military system of the Tang Dynasty in the past ten years. Li Longji was startled, and her doubts rose sharply. What did she do with these?How could this be a book that a concubine should read?What is she going to do?The cloud of Wu's meddling in politics once again surged in his heart. The gentle woman sitting next to him is the grandniece and grandniece of Wu Zetian's blood. Could it be that she also has some thoughts that she shouldn't have?

The preoccupied emperor lowered his head and glanced at the little woman lying beside him. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she couldn't see her expression clearly. She just gave herself the weight of her whole body.

"Your Majesty!" Chang Xi didn't notice Li Longji's doubts, and called out sweetly, Li Longji thought she was going to say soft words of love, but Chang Xi immediately raised his head and said seriously: "Has the Turkic matter been resolved? "

Li Longji frowned, and said: "Although it has not been resolved, there are some eyebrows!"

"What?" Chang Xi sat up and listened excitedly.

Li Longji paused for a moment, then continued: "Zhang Shuo believes that the reason for Tang's repeated defeats lies in the military system!"

As soon as this remark came out, Chang Xi was secretly delighted. After a busy day, he looked at various people's livelihood and national conditions in the Tang Dynasty and the history he studied in modern times. He already felt that this matter was caused by the military system. I was even more convinced that my point of view was correct, and said: "The concubine thinks what Mr. Zhang said is right!"

"Oh?" Li Longji's eyes flickered with surprise, "Let's hear it?" He became very interested in the political acumen of the woman in front of him.

Chang Xi coughed lightly, "Our Tang Dynasty has always practiced the government military system, which is characterized by the integration of soldiers and farmers. Soldiers usually work in the fields, and when fighting, they bring their own weapons and horses to the battlefield. This is an extremely effective military system. The strategy can neither delay farming, ensure the country's fiscal revenue, but also defend against foreign enemies. It is not in line with the current national conditions of Datang and should be cancelled!"

Li Longji listened carefully, and couldn't help nodding secretly, "Go on!"

"There are three reasons why the government military system is not in line with the current national conditions of the Tang Dynasty: First, the frequent wars, the long border between the Tang Dynasty and foreign nationalities, and heavy military service. Second, the land on which the soldiers depended for survival was destroyed by powerful landlords, and most of the soldiers fled, making it difficult to form combat effectiveness; It is a shame to serve as a government soldier. From this point of view, the government military system has long been out of line with the national conditions of the Tang Dynasty, which is why our Tang Dynasty has so many talents but is often defeated by Tubo!"

Li Longji was really amazed by the eloquence of his words. This little cousin has such a high political vision. What she said is surprisingly consistent with the views of the virtuous officials in the Tai Chi Hall today. What is even more rare is that , Those opinions were not expressed by one person in the court, but the wisdom of many ministers such as Qiong Zhang Shuo and Zhang Jiuling came up with it, and the woman in front of me actually said all the reasons by herself, how can it not be admirable!Li Longji has a new understanding of Chang Xi in his heart!

"Then what does my cousin think?" Li Longji calmly picked up the white jade teacup on the case and asked casually.

Chang Xi smiled slightly, "The concubine believes that the policy of recruiting soldiers should be implemented."

"How to recruit soldiers?" Li Longji wanted to test this woman who had been in the boudoir for a long time.

"The state recruits young men to serve as soldiers, provides them with food and clothing, and is exempted from taxation and service. This reduces the burden of military service on the peasants, saves the travel and travel of the government soldiers, is beneficial to the people's livelihood of the Tang Dynasty, and makes the people support Your Majesty even more!" Chang Xi unreservedly told Li Longji the countermeasures that he had thought about for a long time today.

Li Longji was very surprised when he heard it. He didn't expect that Chang Xi not only had a high vision, but also didn't have too high aspirations and misled the country with empty talk, but came up with a timely and effective strategy. It's just Zhaoyi, the brothers Wu Zhong and Wu Xin outside the palace are not high-ranking officials, they are just vain posts, but it is really necessary to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics, so as to prevent the tragedy of Wu's massacre of Li Tang's royal family from happening again. Xi said a few words, such as the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but Chang Xi said again.

"In this way, the enhanced combat effectiveness of the army is indeed beneficial to defeating the Turks, but there are also major hidden worries!" Chang Xi frowned as he spoke, his face full of worry.

Li Longji was stunned for a moment, and the ministers in the court of the recruitment system also discussed it, but it was this hidden worry that everyone hadn't thought about yet.

Chang Xi said worriedly: "Soldiers in the recruiting system take serving as soldiers as their profession. Generals command an army for a long time. There is a subordinate relationship between soldiers and generals. They are only loyal to the generals and do not know that there is His Majesty. If it goes on like this, if the general who leads the army If you have a different heart, the country may suffer from war!"

After hearing this, Li Longji also pondered, she was so right!Why didn't I think of this!If the general leading the troops has the heart of treason, how should he deal with it!
When Chang Xi said this, he suddenly remembered the Anshi Rebellion that everyone in the world would know, should he tell Li Longji to kill An Lushan immediately when he sees him?But what to say!directly?Li Longji might think he is crazy!Forget it, if An Lushan appeared, he was blowing the pillow wind and took the opportunity to kill him!

After a while, Li Longji thought of a way to deal with such a person, and his heart suddenly felt relieved. When he looked up at Chang Xi, she froze there. When Li Longji smiled and wanted to call her, Meier walked in with a wooden tray Since the last palace banquet, Meier learned that Li Longji had never liked her. Although she was still sad for several months, after a few years, she had already calmed down. At this time, she smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please persuade Zhao Yiba, she has been tinkering with these things for a whole day without eating or drinking, and the servants don't know what they are, she said that these can relieve His Majesty's worries! But even so, you can't be hungry all the time, let's eat some!" Put a porcelain cup of bird's nest porridge on the table.

Chang Xi's face blushed suddenly when she heard Mei'er speak out her thoughts in public, and she didn't dare to look up at the kneeling man in front of her.Li Longji's heart was shocked when she heard this. She flipped through these books and worked hard all day without eating or drinking just to check these things!To share my worries!She treats me like this, just now I suspected that she had ambitions, it really shouldn't be!For a moment, regret, touch, and pity all came together, and when he stretched out his hand, he pulled her into his arms.

"Eat quickly! I'll watch you eat!" Li Longji took the bird's nest porridge, gently scooped out a spoonful with a white porcelain spoon, put it on his lips and blew it, and fed it to Chang Xi little by little. Chang Xi was so ashamed that her face looked like two red plum blossoms.

"Sister, the spring is beautiful today, do you want to go to the Furong Garden to enjoy the flowers!" The talented man took Xiao Meiren's hand, and smiled first, and entered the inner room all the way, just happened to watch Li Longji feeding porridge to Chang Xi After eating, they all froze outside the door.

It was Xiao Meiren who came to her senses first, and smiled, "I'm really sorry, my concubine interrupted you!"

Chang Xi blushed with embarrassment, quickly stood up from Li Longji's lap, smiled and said politely: "Sisters haven't been here for a long time, come in quickly!"
