Li Qinzai is the grandson of a British duke and a general, and he has been marked by the military since the day he was born.
But one's family background belongs to one's family background, and official position belongs to official position. Those are two different things.
Li Qinzai's father, Li Siwen, certainly had a military background, but he had always been engaged in civil service, serving as an official and serving as governor.
Except for Li Ji himself, most of the people in the Li family who had official positions were civil servants. One reason was that the talents of the Li family were withering, and the official positions of their descendants were all due to favors.
Secondly, it is also to avoid suspicion. If all the members of the family join the army and take power, what will your family want to do?
But Li Qinzai was different. After Li Ji, the Li family had another Qilin'er, which made the veterans particularly jealous.
Of course, outstanding talents must be recruited into the army, especially talents like Li Qinzai who can create sharp military weapons at any time. It is even more important to recruit him into the army.
To be honest, the veterans have been coveting Li Qinzai for more than a day or two.
"That's right, that's right. Li Qinzai has wasted his job as a sinecure. I heard that His Majesty has made you a regular servant of Yousanqi? What kind of official is that?"
"Come to me, Zuowuwei, and you will be able to destroy the country. No one dares to disobey you, at least General Zhonglang. It's not a problem to be General Zuowuwei for a few years." Su Dingfang pulled boldly with his hand, as if he had already Li Qinzai was drawn into Zuo Wuwei's camp.
Su Dingfang is the Zuowuwei general. The Zuowuwei generals he promised Li Qinzai are different. One is the "general" and the other is the "general". The general is the top general of Zuowuwei, and there are two generals below. Control an army.
Lao Su was really willing to make conditions, and when he opened his mouth, he was the second in command of Zuo Wuwei.
Liang Jianfang and Su Dingfang took the lead, and several other veterans immediately started arguing, offering official positions to win over Li Qinzai.
The veterans were not very good-tempered. They started to quarrel as they talked, and after a few quarrels they started to fight.
Li Qinzai sat dumbly in the study. He was not intimidated by the aura of the veterans, but surprised by their abilities.
This group of old killers really have a magical ability. Whenever more than three or five people gather together, the scene will instantly become smoky and the Jinluan Hall will turn into a Juyi Hall.
Amidst the noisy shouting and cursing, Li Ji finally became impatient and knocked on the table with his finger.
"If you want to go out and beat him, you will kill him and bury him in charge." Li Ji shouted coldly.
Everyone fell silent and no one dared to say a word.
Li Ji coldly snorted and said: "My grandson, it's your turn to be arranged by old killers? Whether he can join the army or not, it depends on His Majesty's will and his own wishes. It doesn't matter what you say." ?”
The prestige of being the number one person in the military shocked the generals to death.
Only Su Dingfang was still a little bit distracted. He quietly poked Li Qinzai's ribs and whispered in his ear: "My dear, the post of General Zuo Wuwei is reserved for you. You can come anytime. Don't forget it."
Li Qinzai coughed twice and said: "Thank you, Grandpa Su. The idle job is very good. I'd better do the idle job. Besides, I still teach students, so I really don't have time to take care of him."
Su Dingfang snorted angrily: "You sons of the Li family have more intestines in your belly than anyone else."
Li Ji glanced at him, smoothed his beard and said calmly: "I invite you all to come here today for one thing."
"Sun Erqinzai came to the emperor to advise the emperor to use work instead of relief. He wanted to implement the strategy of building roads and building ships. Although the idea was a good idea and he had no selfish motives, it failed in the end."
"You are all generals in the army, so you don't have to get involved in government affairs. However, road construction is also particularly important to our military. If all the states and counties in the Tang Dynasty can build straight and flat roads, our army will be able to conquer the country no matter where it goes in the future. It’s no problem to travel thousands of miles at dusk and daylight.”
"Regardless of the physical fitness of the soldiers, the speed of dispatching troops, the consumption of logistics and food transportation, etc., it can be greatly saved. If the plan is completed, the words 'soldiers are valuable and speed' can be realized at any time in the Tang Dynasty."
Xue Rengui, who had been silent for a long time, cupped his hands and said: "What you mean is..."
Li Ji stroked his beard, half-closed his eyes, and said slowly: "As generals of the army, you are admonishing His Majesty and agreeing with Qin Zai's strategy to relieve Your Majesty."
Li Ji paused and then said: "Since Qin Zai put forward this advice, the court has been in a state of uproar and the courtiers have fiercely opposed it. Your Majesty is deeply annoyed and has no choice but to do anything."
"This policy is not a bad thing, it's just a matter of timing. Let's jointly submit a petition and agree with the emperor's proposal. It can also be regarded as a blow to those corrupt courtiers and let the court have a different voice."
Finally, Li Ji said calmly: "I haven't participated in the government affairs for a long time, but it concerns my grandson. Those rotten guys in the court are really making trouble, and it's time to give them a beating."
The generals were silent and thinking.
Personal relationships are personal relationships, and when it comes to national affairs, especially when they don't know the pros and cons, the veterans can't make up their minds at the moment.
Li Qinzai stood up and spoke out the pilot plan he proposed to Xu Jingzong today, striving to minimize the impact and noise, and strive to build a model demonstration project without harming the country's capital, and finally expand the area from point to point, slowly drawing pictures Of.
The generals' eyes lit up when they heard this, and even Li Ji looked pleased.
The country was built by veteran generals, so naturally they would not be willing to see it damaged and the country's foundation was harmed. The suggestions that Li Qinzai now puts forward are very suitable for the veteran generals.
Under the premise of not harming the country or making a big fuss, the matter is handled in a low-key manner. If successful, it will be beneficial to the country, the people and the military.
Veterans all know how important straight, spacious and flat roads are to a country.
Xue Rengui stood up and clasped his fists and said: "What the Lord Ying said is true, and I would like to submit the report jointly with all the Lords."
Su Dingfang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Did you notice me?"
After saying that, he stood up and clasped his fists: "I would also like to jointly submit the memorial."
All the veterans stood up and expressed their willingness to join in the memorial.
Li Qinzai was a little touched. Li Ji said he would solve his own problems, but in the end he still helped him silently in his own way.
A group of nuclear bomb-level veterans openly supported Li Zhi and Li Qinzai in the court. The weight of these people was absolutely earth-shattering.
This is also a very rare occasion in recent years for a British citizen to publicly display his heritage and influence.
All this is for Li Qinzai.
…………
The wind direction in the court hall had some subtle changes for some unknown reason.
The change first came from the Right Prime Minister Xu Jingzong.
In recent days, because of Li Qinzai's proposal to build roads and build ships, when Li Zhi publicly announced it in the court, he was fiercely opposed and boycotted by the courtiers.
In the past few days, there was almost no time to deal with other government affairs in the court meetings. Everyone was debating the pros and cons of building roads and ships, and discussing how to completely nip the unrealistic idea of the emperor in the cradle.
In the initial wave of unanimous opposition, a group of courtiers headed by Xu Jingzong, including two ministers, four ministers, as well as the Yushitai, Guanglu Temple, Sinong Temple and other nine ministers, seemed to have discussed it, and all
