(Double monthly pass, more, haha...)
"Previously, the political affairs were too complicated, so I couldn't have fun with you all. Today, everything has been decided, so we can all have a drink together..."
Li Po happily raised his wine glass and said loudly, "Speaking of it, everyone has worked hard in the past few months. We should be praised more, but you should think about it. Nowadays, the world is crowded, and we are only in a secluded corner.
With a little bit of wealth and honor, if you are overjoyed now, wouldn't it be looked down upon?"
"Drink this cup, and I will share my encouragement with everyone. If you succeed in the future, it will be easy to be promoted to an official position and have continuous blessings. Don't you think it will be easy?"
Everyone stood up to listen to the lecture. At this point, they raised their glasses and drank in response. The atmosphere finally became a little more lively.
When everyone sat down again, smelling the aroma of wine and meat, many people thought, let's just say it, everyone worked hard, and they won't all be wrong again.
It seems that the king understands in his heart, but his ambition is lofty and beyond our reach. He doesn't want everyone to become arrogant, so he uses some means to suppress it.
The people sitting here are all smart people. What reason do they not understand? It’s just that things are like this. Where there are many smart people, there are also many disputes. Once real interests such as family and official titles are involved, smart people will do stupid things.
Come on, it’s not surprising.
After drinking a drink, Li Po knocked on the table to ask everyone to calm down, and then said: "As the saying goes, before going outside, you must first calm down at home..."
When he said this, he paused, feeling something was wrong, and couldn't help but cursed in his heart, damn, that bald guy later was really hateful, such a good word made him become a derogatory term, and he deserved to be driven to the island.
Eat dirt.
"Now that I live in Jin, Chang'an and Luoyang are all within easy reach. When I returned to the army on the bank of the Yellow River, I was thinking, wouldn't it be great if I could cross the river and defeat Xijing in one go?"
"After careful consideration, it was still too hasty, so I led the troops back to Jinyang. The reason why you should also know is that it is not because of what happened to the Tang army, nor because my soldiers were unable to fight against the Tang army, but because the Jin Dynasty had just settled down and was exhausted.
We, if the war goes slightly unfavorably, there is a risk of falling short..."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears. Whether His Highness the King of Han is a virtuous person or not, what they see is actually nothing else, just these few words and those unusual actions in daily life.
Hidden within these is his magnanimity and his superhuman foresight.
Moreover, what is the basis for everyone to do things in the future? It is also the words I hear now. If you are so happy about your success, then the people below will involuntarily deceive you. If you go into force, then they will definitely use the armor as a weapon.
First……
Such things are the iron rules in the officialdom. What is good at the top must be done by the bottom. Until more than a thousand years later, people have not escaped from this category, let alone now.
You can ignore these words today, but when others talk to you about them again, the situation may not be so wonderful...
Over there, Li Po was still continuing. On such an occasion, he was already swaying freely, and his voice fluctuated with yin and yang. When it should be soft, it would be lighter, and when it should be heavier, it would be heavier. So all the frivolous and lively things were filtered out, and only the heavy ones were
The power remained.
A gentle smile always hung on his face, and his body sat very straight, but not tense at all, and he did not use gestures to increase the persuasiveness of his words.
Yes, regardless of anything else but his words and deeds, in the eyes of his ministers, he is now considered a qualified king.
And those cunning reprimands before made people's impression even more profound.
"I have been back for a few months now, and everything I have experienced and felt confirms what I thought that day. It is really foolish to raise a large army without a stable foundation. Now that the official system has been initially established, I feel a little at ease. There are many shortcomings in it, which is really not the case.
Short-term efforts can make up for it."
"You are all the most talented people in the world. Now you have gathered in my hall to share weal and woe with me. You should fully demonstrate what you have learned, worry about me, and solve my difficulties. Once your great cause is accomplished, look back on today..."
Having said this, Li Po stood up, waved his arms vigorously, and said in a deep voice: "When the journey is difficult, we break the stereotypes and end the troubled times... Who dares to forget? We will follow our name and pass it down.
Enter the world and shine for eternity..."
The sound was not loud, but it echoed in everyone's ears like a heavy hammer beating a drum.
"My lord's ambition is as unparalleled as ever in the past and present. I will wait for you in front of me and behind my horse, and I will have no regrets even if I die."
Wang Lu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was the first to respond, and the flattering words came out smoothly. This old man from Mayi was actually no worse than Yun Dingxing.
Everyone then bowed down and praised him.
In fact, this is the normal rhythm. With this bowl of wine at the bottom, people immediately felt at ease.
Afterwards, while being intertwined, everyone also vaguely realized that these chaotic and busy months were finally over.
The meaning of His Highness the King of Han is also very clear. There will be no external use of troops in the near future, so it is clear what everyone should do and how to do it.
Generals need to guard their defenses and train their soldiers. They don't have to worry as much as the civil servants. They just need to wait quietly for the time to use their troops.
You must know that there are still many vacant positions in both the Guard and the Ministry of War, which is very tempting for middle- and low-level officers.
As for the generals of the Wei Mansion such as Yuchi Gong and Bu Qun, the point of consideration is that His Highness the King of Han has set up a military department. Should he follow the old practice of the Sui Dynasty and divide it from the Wei Mansion, or should he step on top of the Wei Mansion?
This is really hard to say, but now it seems that the authority of the Ministry of War is not great. Wang Zhibian is the minister of the Ministry of War, and he cannot suppress Yu Chigong, Bu Qun and others. Everyone is relatively at ease. After all, no one wants to be blamed.
Multiple superiors appeared out of thin air.
But what these generals of the Guard want more is actually very clear, and that is the title of Great General. It would be even better if there could be an official position like that of Shangzhu Kingdom again.
Moreover, these are just some official positions. After Li Po became king, he has not been awarded any titles. However, this is something that can benefit the descendants of the family and is more worthy of the generals to strive for.
The civil servants had much more to think about. To be honest, their joy and excitement were stronger than those of the generals. As the saying goes, to fight against foreign forces, we must first make peace at home. Everyone understands that the most important thing is the word "safe".
In this way, the goal is not achieved by swords and guns alone, but by political ministers like them. The achievements of the generals are in front of the two armies, but their career lies inside.
In troubled times, it is the time for heroes to serve their lives. Most of the so-called heroes are guys with swords and arrows. Most of the civil servants are working quietly to prepare for the future.
In other words, most civil servants are not as dazzling as military generals at this time, and their meritorious service will fall behind military officials. This is actually very obvious in this world. Under the lords everywhere, military officials have undoubtedly a much greater say, because you
After a year of hard work, the results may not be as good as the generals winning a battle.
This may be different in other places. After all, since the late Jin Dynasty, the boundaries between civil and military affairs have become increasingly blurred, and we cannot all discuss them in terms of civil and military affairs.
But under Li Po, he is obviously powerful, and as time goes by, it becomes more and more obvious.
People like Chen Xiaoyi, Wen Yanbo and others, when they belonged to the Sui Dynasty, they all led the military power alone, so they naturally had no worries about military exploits. But now, they have been under Li Po for a long time, but how can they still have the opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy?
Li Po didn't even give them the opportunity to go on an expedition with the army, and the voices of the generals filled the military discussion. Even the "wise and resourceful people" were spared. How could they be embarrassed?
So where do they get their credit? How can they compete with the generals in the army at this time without falling behind? When generals with outstanding achievements talk about it in the future, will they still have room to speak?
For example, Pei Ji, who was in Chang'an, was criticized for having no military merit. As he moved around, the criticism became more and more serious. His bad reputation had spread to the Jin Dynasty. It can be seen that at this time, there were no civil servants with military merit. How unsatisfactory my life has been.
This was actually something that Chen Xiaoyi, Wen Yanbo and other confidants were very worried about before. The suggestion that Li Pofeng rewarded his old friend a few days ago was actually mostly due to such considerations.
The military achievements of these generals in Jin Dynasty have reached the point where they are frightened. Fortunately, the generals don't have much to think about, but if a guy like Liu Wenjing really pops up, who will the target be?
By saying this, we can actually understand that His Highness the King of Han has the intention to stop the troops and slow down the war, so everyone can take a breath of relief.
The merits of governing the people were immediately placed in front of them. In fact, it did not take long. As long as a year or two passed, the grain harvest came up, the population increased slightly, and when the Jin area became more prosperous, the civil servants would also have their merits. Already.
Moreover, there is room for them to display their talents above the official system, laws, etc. At that time, everyone's status will be stable, and if the generals want to boast, they will have to see whether they agree or not.
If we hadn't been diligent in our royal affairs, how could we have achieved our achievements? With just one sentence, most generals would be speechless.
It can be said that it was not until Li Po became king that the promotion channels for his subordinates became truly smooth. This is the biggest benefit brought by becoming king.
The truth is very clear. There is actually not much difference between becoming king and becoming emperor nowadays. Li Po can have everything an emperor should have, and it can even be said that he is always preparing for becoming emperor.
After a banquet, Li Po finally brought a happy atmosphere among his ministers. The beautiful imagination of the future is an indispensable psychological activity for people.
Even though everyone in the hall has reached a new height in life, it cannot stop them from yearning to go higher and live a better life in the future.
What Li Po can do is actually very simple, just give a little warning to everyone or himself, and then let himself and his ministers relax to look into the future together, and outline this beautiful picture more clearly.
