The current dynasty still emphasizes civil servants over military officers. Although Li Wanjiang gained power from a horse, after he gained power, he immediately placed emphasis on civil servants and restrained military generals.
In fact, it was not just Li Wanjiang, almost every emperor in every dynasty would do this, because military commanders with too much power would be a potential danger to any court.
And there are too many such precedents. Don’t you see, An Lushan? Don’t you know, Zhao Kuangyin!
Take the two famous generals during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty as an example, one is Yu Dayou and the other is Qi Jiguang. These two are famous enough, high enough in rank, and prestigious enough, right? But throughout their lives, they have always been subordinate to civil servants.
.
For example, the commanders sent by the emperor to quell the Japanese pirates were usually Hu Zongxian, Zhao Wenhua and others, and they were just junior generals under their command...
There is not a single military general among the real power faction in the Zhou Dynasty. Among the six ministers and nine ministers, none of them is the general who followed Li Wanjiang to conquer the world.
Civil servants are needed to govern a country, and military generals are only needed when fighting. In a sense, military generals are not much different from servants who guard the house. You just need to keep an eye on the door and do your job of preventing fire and theft. Where do we mean that?
Just go and fight wherever you go. As for the affairs of your home and country, as long as I'm here, you don't have to worry about them.
As the saying goes, the emperor values heroes, articles teach others, everything is inferior, only reading is good!
This is true at the imperial court, and it is true among the people as well. Those who are good at martial arts are all rough men, all merchants are low-class, and only those who are educated are of high quality.
For example, although Shi Mingtao had a huge fortune, thousands of hectares of fertile land, and was the nephew of the Empress Dowager, he was still looked down upon by everyone despite his great power because he had no fame.
Another example is Li Tanhua, who not only has outstanding literary talent, but also has strong martial arts skills. He is a Tanhualang who has obtained both civil and military qualifications, but his martial arts skills are nothing compared to Wen Tanhua.
Even many people only know that he is a Jinshi Tanhua, and have no idea that he has won other martial arts. Even if they know, they don't care, and they may even criticize him for it. What is it about a Tanhua man who wields swords and guns?
reason?
Therefore, to this day, the martial spirit of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period has long since disappeared. The heroic spirit of the brave men who cut off their wrists and the tragic songs of Yan and Zhao is still alive today!
In fact, this is the case even in Yanyun County. Just like Xiao Ye, you are already a God-of-War-level existence famous all over the world, but in the eyes of the old man Liu Congshu, Ye Baiqing and the others, you are just a child who is very capable of fighting...
If Xiao Ye was a scholar, he would have been entrusted with important responsibilities and become the leader long ago. There is no way he could still stay by Xiao Chen's side and wander around doing nothing all day long.
Just like Fu Yan and Baili, these two are not only good at martial arts, but also have outstanding literary talents, so talents like them are the pillars of Yanyun.
In addition, Zhuge Xiaosheng, Dugulou, Li Tanhua, Wanyan Pingqiu, which of these men is not a scholar, a master of martial arts, a master of both civil and military skills?
But people like Wei Yuntian, Lin Yue, Yue Zhonglin, Wu Hanming and others are a little behind. They can only be powerful generals at their best, but they are also difficult to command.
So Xiao Chen has been urging Xiao Ye and Brother Yuntian to study, but what can you do if they don't have the material?
Xiao Ye doesn't like to study, and Ling'er doesn't like to take care of things. This has always been a problem in Xiao Chen's heart. As an elder brother, he always hopes that his younger brothers and sisters can have great future... But this is okay, at least he can always stay in the family.
Be happy and carefree by your side.
Let the old man and Xiaosheng take care of it.
Let’s talk about Wu Xiuping. In fact, this guy is not even a scholar. He doesn’t understand the Four Books and the Five Classics. He is said to be a science guy...
Don't make excuses for Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen is a weirdo. If you think it took thousands of years for such a thing to come out, it is a phenomenal existence.
Xiuping is not good at writing, and he doesn't know martial arts. He just knows how to work behind closed doors, and he doesn't look good.
So how do you chase Gao Juli’s princess?
It is definitely too late to ask him to study and practice essays now. He may not be able to achieve anything in his studies after ten years of hard work. What's more, Xiuping doesn't have ten years at all. In ten years, he will be forty years old.
It would be much easier to practice martial arts. There are several first-class masters at home. Just find one of them and teach him a few moves, which will be a huge benefit to him.
Of course, you don’t have to be very sophisticated, you just need to know a few tricks.
The fat man's decision to let him learn martial arts was also targeted. Think about it, what has Gao Juli been like all along? She was bullied by the Japanese!
Although the country is now restored, the pain left to them will definitely exist and will last for a long time.
Therefore, as the princess of Go Juryeo, Lee Ji-hyun must have felt deeply about this. What does she lack as a princess?
There is no shortage of food, clothing, supplies, money, but what is missing is a sense of security!
So as long as you, Shuhei-san, can bring her a sense of security, you will definitely win her favor!
After listening to Fatty's analysis, Xiao Chen also agreed. Not to mention it was very reasonable. In troubled times, everyone lacked a sense of security, especially girls...
Even Qianye Ling.
But she said that she was at home on vacation that day and was doing laundry when someone suddenly knocked on the door and came to visit. When she came out, it turned out to be Wu Xiuping?
It was quite unexpected.
I quickly invited him in, poured him a glass of sugar water, and waited for him to talk.
"Chiba, where are you doing your laundry?" Wu Xiuping's opening remarks were so bland.
"Yes, I have time on vacation today." Qianye Ling said.
"I thought you all had maids or something to help you with the washing," Wu Xiuping said.
"Haha, what kind of rich lady do you think I am?" Qianye Ling said with a smile, "Don't talk about me, Sister Lin does her own laundry."
"That's tiring enough. You girls like to be clean. When you have the conditions, I will get you a washing machine. Just put your clothes in it and it will automatically wash and dry." Wu Xiuping was pure.
That's nonsense, because the prerequisite for making a washing machine is electricity. Now he can generate fart electricity?
"Brother Wu, you are really amazing. The mirror you invented is now used by everyone in Changshan Prefecture!" Qianye Ling admired Wu Xiuping very much.
But before, Brother Wu seemed to have some prejudice against her, and he was always very cold when meeting her. Later, his attitude became better, but he only nodded and smiled to say hello, and rarely talked to her.
Today he actually deigned to come to visit in person. Something must have happened, but he didn’t know what it was? He didn’t tell me, and he couldn’t ask.
"By the way, my bicycle will be built soon. When the first one is built, I will give it to you." Wu Xiuping turned to the bicycle again.
"I heard Fatty tell me, he said you were bragging, haha, I also think you are bragging." Qianye Ling said with a smile.
