Chapter 45: My Qianlong (1)
Without much words, Wang Hongyi went to the Marshal's Mansion.
When he got inside, a servant knelt down the steps and kowtowed. Wang Hongyi nodded and went in.
At this time, I saw that the study room was becoming more and more elegant. Wang Zunzhi leaned on the table and chair in front of the window, holding a book in his hand and was stunning.
Wang Hongyi stepped forward and saluted: "Father-in-Law!"
Wang Zunzhi said with a smile: "You are here, come, come and sit down and talk."
As soon as I sat down, before I could speak, a maid came in with tea and a small jasper cup and poured it on.
Wang Hongyi was about to drink it, but when he heard Wang Zunzhi smile, waved his hand to stop, and said, "This tea is half warm only, and taste it bit by bit before it tastes."
Wang Hongyi smiled and calmed down. After waiting for a while, he started to taste the tea. The fruit felt refreshing and refreshing. Every time he sipped a little, he felt the fragrance remained.
After finishing the tea, Wang Zunzhi said, "My son, what's the matter?"
"The news came from Taisu County. Liu Chaoyi personally led 5,000 troops to attack Taisu County. County magistrate Li Cunyi immediately ordered the Yanshan Capital Xuanwu Captain Lu Zhongcheng and Qian Xin to obey the order, and Lu Zhongcheng and Qian Xin had already obeyed the order. Li Magistrate Li also urgently used military information to conscript 500 soldiers out of the wing, and his son Li Jiye took charge of it." Wang Zunzhi would not know about this information, but Wang Hongyi wanted to report it as soon as possible.
This is the way for father, son, king and minister.
"What about your idea?" Wang Zunzhi heard this, held the cup with one hand, stood up and walked, and looked at the brilliant autumn garden outside the window, and said.
"My son believes that the father and commander are in poor health. I am new to Shaozhen and cannot go on expeditions. However, the monarch and ministers have their own principles. Not helping the monarch is not the way to the monarch. Especially when I have spare time, I want to send him five hundred soldiers to support Taisu County, and bring him five thousand stones of food."
"There are two thousand soldiers and food, and the county town is strong enough to resist it. Just wait for a long time and naturally retreat. Li Magistrate Li is always busy, and he will definitely receive good news - I would like to ask the father to make a judgment!"
Wang Zunzhi frowned slightly, coughed twice, and said, "The colder this tea is, the more fragrant it is!"
After saying that, he drank, coughed a few times, staring at Wang Hongyi: "I make you the heir. Your identity is above all the ministers and generals. Your health is getting worse and worse. Even if you suddenly get sick, it is still a normal thing. You are the heir. I ask you, after I go, how will you govern and expand? What do you think about the Li family affairs from the heart?"
Wang Hongyi was stunned and immediately understood that Wang Zunzhi had already seen his vague hostility towards the Li family. At this time, the question was also his father's assessment of himself.
Wang Hongyi was shocked again and suddenly remembered something.
I saw a book in my previous life, and there was a sentence in it, "The truth about life and death, which I do not hide, only the power cannot be left behind. Only I can accept it and the power will be swayed by it."
This is also a matter between father and son.
In the past two months, I have been constantly mastering the Yi Army and the Black Guard. Although I have obtained the permission of Wang Zunzhi, as an incarnation of power will, Wang Zunzhi naturally feels that he is being taken away. This is instinct and has nothing to do with fatherly love.
No matter how rationality and feelings care for Wang Hongyi, this instinct will play a stubborn role. Thinking of this, I sweat heavily behind me and can no longer sit still. I hurriedly stood up and said, "My son has not thought about this, and the father and commander are still in their prime. My son dare not think about this."
Wang Zunzhi coughed a few times at this time. For some reason, a kind of fatigue came up, which made him instinctively angry and immediately dispelled. He said, "Don't be nervous. You are the Son of Man. Of course, you should not think about this. I cannot stop thinking about this... Tell me, what do you think? For your father, you can not only advise you, but also lay the foundation for you. Since you and I are father and son, there is no need to make false statements at this time."
Wang Hongyi sighed in his heart, "Accompanying the king is like a tiger." This sentence is good. Mastery and inheritance are originally Wang Zunzhi's wish, but if it is true, you will feel lost or even dissatisfied."
However, Wang Zunzhi had no other son except himself and was in poor health. At most, he was angry. He really wanted to shake his roots, and he would never do so.
After thinking about it, he said, "Father, I have a few thoughts, so I would like to ask for advice from my father."
"Yeah, you say it!" Wang Zunzhi was also surprised by his inexplicable anger just now, and said warmly.
"First of all, I captured 500 people from Sichuan City last time. Although I have been reorganized and trained, I still have difficulty in getting rid of my old roots and my habits. My son's mind is to defend against war. One is to break with Liuzhen, and the other is to make gold in the sand. After the war, I promoted and re-give the military flag in the name of making meritorious service."
"Although He Sheng, Chai Jia and He Zhong are highly valued by their sons, they are now generals of the first battalion, but they are not qualified. This defensive battle will surely make them grow and increase their qualifications, so that they can be of great use in the future."
"Your mind is normal, what about it?"
"The father and the sons are not afraid of the words. I am indeed wary of the Li family. Did the father and the commander hear that the dragons appeared in Shu and the eighteen sons should be prosperous?"
The eighteenth son, Li, was Li. At this time, Wang Zunzhi understood what Wang Hongyi meant, and a chill surged in his heart, his face turned a little pale, he frowned, turned a few times, and scolded, "Politics is in the country and the army, how could he worry about this principle of being suspicious of important officials?"
"Father, this is of course a false statement, but the people and soldiers are often confused. At that time, what should anyone use this statement to make a plan?"
"Then what you mean is to eradicate the Li family?" Wang Zunzhi asked with frown.
"Of course not. This is not the lord's weapon. My son still had the previous intention. He had two thousand soldiers and food. The county town was strong enough to resist it. He just waited for a long time and naturally retreated. Li Magistrate Li was always rewarded with great news - this was not killing people with a knife!"
Speaking of this, Wang Hongyi stepped forward, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "My son doesn't want to kill someone by borrowing a knife!"
These words were so sharp and crisp, showing the sincerity. Wang Zunzhi stretched his eyebrows and said, "Get up quickly, I know what you think for my father - tell me more carefully."
"Yes, father and leader, my son doesn't want to suspect important officials out of thin air, nor does he want to be prosperous one day, which will subvert my Wang family's foundation. My son's mind is just about the doctrine of the mean!"
"The Doctrine of the Mean is a bit interesting. How about the Doctrine of the Mean?" Wang Zunzhi asked.
"We have already achieved great tribute to send troops and food. We can't say anything inside and outside the town. We can't say that the ministers are in trouble. The lord must go to war to be considered as righteous, especially in our current situation." Wang Hongyi made a fuss in his heart and decided to express his thoughts.
This is also the determination that only after weighing the trade-offs, relying on his own son and Wang Zunzhi's poor health, only Wang Zunzhi made.
"Since there is enough troops and food, there is no reason to be broken. The superiors and subordinates are in the Ming Dynasty. Only then can we see the real weapon of the Li family..."
"Also, Li's private objects are too heavy, and his son also wanted to take the opportunity to grind it. This is also the intention of protecting it in the future."
To put it bluntly, I just want to find out the foundation of the Li family and take the opportunity to consume the strength of the Li family. However, I have the military rations sent in front and the status of the lord, so no one can say bad things.
Regardless of victory or defeat, the lord will not lose any virtue at all. It can also be said that it is good at preserving the ministers' power to consume the strength of the Li family.
When Wang Zunzhi heard this, he felt that his son was deep and heavy, and he had some sincerity, but he listened to his son saying, "This is just a small path."
"My son reads military tactics and knows that using military forces depends on strength and weakness, and strength and weakness lies in comfort and fatigue."
"Liu Chaoyi first ascended the throne, but the generals were dissatisfied. This was a decline, and Taisu County lost, which made its authority even more degenerate. This was a decline. It was two declines. But it was impossible to come at that time. Now it has come. Taisu County has been consolidated, and this is another three declines."
"However, there are three declines, but they are not defeated. The Li family guarded Taisu County and rejected it with the city. Liuzhen has these three declines. They are full of their upper and lower parts and are not durable to attack for a long time. The longer the time, the more resentful the army is!"
When Wang Zunzhi heard this, he understood what his son wanted to say. His heart was pounding, and blood rushed towards his face, but he still listened.
"It only takes ten days for the Li family to defend the city and its soldiers will be defeated. At this time, in Taisu County, you may be able to break the enemy with one move, and the child will wait for the opportunity to move and cannot win the big victory."
"With a new force, you can move in one move, and it will be like thunder, and you will definitely break it!"
"Break Liuzhen, surrender to the two counties, besiege Changding, and summoning the generals. At this time, the general situation was gone. Even if there were remnants of Liuzhen, they would not have the will to fight. They could enter the city if they were fighting or surrendered."
"At that time, my town has two prefectures, most of which can be rebuilt. These abandoned counties can be rebuilt, the people can be reclaimed and reproduced, and the number of military and civilians will also increase. At that time, I would like to ask my father and commander to praise the Li family and promote him to the lieutenant of the Yiwei Guoyi. Others who have made contributions will also be rewarded with such great rewards!"
The military and national affairs are divided into a stream. According to Wang Hongyi's intention, it is indeed not a knife to kill people. On the contrary, it is part of the grand strategy. In the end, no one can even suspect that they intend to destroy the strength of the Li family - from the promotion of the camp to the Wei Guoyi Captain, this is a very important step in promotion, and it can only be said to be valued and rewarded.
But as a result, in addition to obtaining the position of Guoyi Captain, the Li family actually consumed most of the private soldiers, which was not worth the cost, and it had to be supplemented for a period of time.
However, once the Li family gets a little more, the Wang family can increase by ten points. The more they go, the more they will widen the gap, and they will be unable to make any waves. This is indeed the way to protect the benevolence of the ministers.
For the Duke, he first sent troops and grain, and then used his own ease to fight. When outsiders heard this, they would only think that Wang Zunzhi or Wang Hongyi was wise and decisive.
In private terms, it actually consumed the strength of the Li family and used the Li family to give generous gifts to gain a reputation of open-mindedness and generosity.
After the two were found, the two were together, and the Li family could not resist. The way of the king and the ministers was so effective that they were, the more meaningful they were.
He has attained the state of being ruled with the doctrine of the mean.
Even if the specific experience has not yet arrived, it is indeed the true intention of the superior. As long as you add some specific experience and means in the future, this is a wise and powerful, open-minded and wise ruler.
The doctrine of the mean, if you reach this level, you will be incredible, and you will be able to raise your hands.
Speaking of this, Wang Hongyi said, "Please ask the father and commander to correct me."
Wang Zunzhi did not answer, and looked at his son with an extremely bright look. Finally, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and the curve became bigger and bigger. Finally, he burst into laughter: "Hahahahaha!"
