Chapter 345: One-year-old addition to the sound of firecrackers (1)
No matter how righteous and awe-inspiring Chen Ke was, he still gave in, and Li Weixian felt a lot more at ease... Finally he had an explanation. As for those illusory military reforms, he had an observational attitude. Those generals who only knew how to play with women.
, and it is indeed necessary to beat and beat, otherwise how can we fight with the civil servants who are like wolves and tigers?
In Chen Ke's case, it was actually a helpless move. Because Zhao Zongji had such a quarrel with the generals that he drove the originally neutral Bianjing nobles to Zhao Zongshi's side. This move was fiercely criticized by Wang Yu...
Due to Zhao Yunrang's outstanding performance before his death, Wang Yuanze has now become Zhao Zongji's guest, and he no longer has to send messages through Chen Ke.
Regarding this change, Chen Ke had a moderate attitude, because Zhao Zongji really needed a character who could make vicious moves. For various reasons, he was unwilling to play such a role, so naturally he had to find someone to take his place.
As for whether the relationship with Zhao Zongji will not be as close as before, he is not worried. Because Zhao Zongji is growing rapidly day by day and has become more aware of being a superior, Chen Ke will continue to regard himself as the big brother.
It was obvious that he was seeking death. Maybe Zhao Zongji could be content with it for the sake of his great cause, but it was impossible not to feel awkward in his heart. This kind of emotion would accumulate over time and sooner or later the relationship between the two would be ruined.
Therefore, it is better to take precautions and naturally adjust the relationship between the two. This is the way to find a career. Since ancient times, those who seek the country but not their career will all end badly. Chen Ke has a family and a family, and does not want to repeat their mistakes.
However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage of this is that Zhao Zongji no longer only listens to him. Wang Yu said to Zhao Zongji that Chen Zhongfang is now in charge of the Royal Martial Arts Academy to make peace with the generals and tie them tightly.
An excellent opportunity on the chariot. As the saying goes, if nothing is given by nature, it must be punished. If we exclude those generals from the door, they will completely fall out with us.
Zhao Zongji said: "Then where do we start talking about military reform?"
"First, if you are not in your position, you will not seek political power. Your Highness's current goal should be the position of prince, not military reform. Even if the officials admire you, they will not let a lonely man become the prince!" Wang Yu said coldly.
He said: "Even if I help you up, you will still be knocked down by others, do you believe it?"
Zhao Zongji couldn't help sweating on his forehead and nodded.
"Second, the army of the Song Dynasty is intricately connected. Most of the officers at the middle level and above are related to the generals. Can the military reform that ignores the generals be successful?" Wang Yu said: "Why not influence and control those generals through the martial arts academy?
What? They are the future of the generals! A capable person like Chen Zhongfang can definitely do it!"
Zhao Zongji thought so and discussed the matter with Chen Ke. In fact, Chen Ke didn't think about it. He excluded Jiangmen just to suppress their arrogance so that they could repair it in the future. He and Wang Yu thought of it together. It was just for him.
He was a little dissatisfied with Wang Yu's method of overt praise and hidden damage. But considering that everything was his own choice, he could only laugh it off.

After sending away the satisfied brother Baochen, Chen Ke's mood became very bad. In the past, he kept talking about "renovating the old and clothing the new", always thinking that Gong Gong was the master, but Er Er, he really got to the point of "renovating the old and clothing the new"
' Only then did I realize that it was just standing and talking without backache...
There are too many constraints inside and outside, and it really is not something you can do just what you want.
Feeling a little suffocated, he closed the paper and walked out of the office area in the backyard, wanting to take a walk on the school grounds.
The students had had a holiday yesterday. Chen Ke originally thought that there would be no talented people on the campus, but unexpectedly it was very lively here.
A dozen martial arts students and several young teachers were playing Cuju together. Different from the usual Cuju played across a net, they were playing Tang-style Cuju, which is very similar to modern football.
Chen Ke watched with great interest for a while, but couldn't stand it anymore. It's not that they played bad football, people in the Song Dynasty loved playing football. The feeling of the ball was excellent, but they loved to play too much. Everyone got the ball and always lost it.
I want to show my skills until I am cut off by my opponent, just like you do it and then I do it again. There is no offense or defense. It is almost like watching a monkey show.
At this time, Xu Lilun, who was also watching the battle, noticed Chen Ke and hurried over to greet him.
"Why didn't you go home for the New Year?" Chen Ke nodded and said with a smile.
"It's all caused by the 'ball market'." Xu Lilun replied: "I got the letter the day before yesterday and the reward was so high that I didn't expect it. They said that if they could win the championship, it would be enough for everyone to buy a good horse.
. But this time the competition is Tang style Cuju, which is unfamiliar to everyone, so we decided not to go home during the Chinese New Year and practice more intensively."
"Then why didn't you go on the field to play?" Chen Ke nodded and smiled.
"They thought I was weak, so they asked me to be their 'deployment'." Xu Lilun was gentle and quiet, looking like a virgin, so it was no wonder that he was excluded.
"It turns out it's the coach, I'm disrespectful." Chen Ke laughed and said, "I wonder if you are satisfied with the situation on the field, sir?"
"The adults are making fun of the students." Xu Lilun smiled sheepishly: "To be honest, they didn't play well."
"Why?" Chen Ke said with a strange look on his face: "I think they all play pretty well."
"But the biggest difference between Tang-style Cuju is that it is about competition for victory." Xu Lilun said: "What's the point of just showing off your personal skills without showing them to the door?"
"Haha." Chen Ke smiled approvingly: "Then why didn't you say anything about your plan?"
"They don't listen to me." Xu Lilun said helplessly: "Besides, it's hard to change the habit after many years."
"Is there anything you can do?" Chen Ke asked.
"Yes." Xu Lilun nodded.
"Okay, you call the game to stop now." Chen Ke said, "I'm here to support you, but I want to see who dares not to listen."
"Yes!" Xu Lilun's eyes lit up, he turned around and said loudly: "Stop! Come here, everyone!"
The two parties on the field seemed not to hear anything. After playing for a while, someone looked towards him and noticed the tall figure standing behind 'Sister Xu'. They couldn't help but shrink their necks and hurriedly gathered around.
It is said that the two sides played in full swing without even breaking a sweat. I don’t know if it was because of the deep inner strength of the players or because the game turned into a sideshow.
Chen Ke always had strict rules for the martial arts students. Everyone quickly saluted him, and Chen Ke smiled and said: "It's vacation time now, you can just do whatever you want." He said with a smile: "It seems that Xu Debu has something to say.
Let’s listen to him.”
In front of Chen Ke, everyone was naturally as well-behaved as a kitten. Then they heard Xu Lilun whisper: "The Tianzi team is still the same, and the Dizi team is changing to one kick. Sir, please be a witness. Unless it is absolutely necessary, no touching is allowed."
The second blow." This guy also knows how to use the power of a fox to show his strength.
The two sides came off the field again. Under Chen Ke's watch, the Dizi team had to change to one kick. Naturally, it was not used to it at first, but as soon as someone violated the rules, Xu Lilun would call stop and punish the offender.
Naturally, the Tianzi team was gloating on the sidelines, but soon they could no longer laugh, because the Dizi team's offense suddenly became extremely sharp, with wave after wave of attacks, smashing the Tianzi team's goal into a sieve.
Under the watchful eye of the court judge, the Tianzi team had their pants taken off and they were beaten hard. The players were so ashamed that they wanted to get into the ground. How could they dare to play any more tricks? They had no choice but to imitate them and also played with one kick. The scene was
The pace quickens and the competition becomes more intense.
Chen Ke watched for a while, and his mood, which had been depressed, suddenly became cheerful. Yes. Change is never easy, because the power of habit is too strong, but it does not mean that it cannot work. The key lies in whether the change is necessary and whether it is correct.
method, there is no guarantee of power.
With these three points, change will come naturally. Presumably, after these players have tasted the sweetness, they will definitely not follow the old path again, right?
He patted Xu Lilun's shoulder gratefully and said, "Thank you very much!"
Xu Lilun said a little confused: "It should be the student Mr. Xie."
"No, it's my turn to thank you." Chen Ke left Xu Lilun, who was confused, and left with a smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the early morning of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, all the officials of the martial arts academy gathered in the main hall to offer incense to King Wucheng.
There was no "Feng Shen Yan Yi" in the Song Dynasty. The name of King Wu Cheng did not belong to Huang Feihu, but to his prime minister, Jiang Shang Jiang Ziya.
Before the Tang and Song Dynasties, Jiang Taigong's status was very high, and he was ranked as the second civil and military saint with Confucius. Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty named Jiang Taigong King Wucheng, and during the reign of Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, he was also named King Zhaolie Wucheng. In Bianjing City, there is a Confucius Temple.
, Wu has the temple of King Wucheng, and it is said that it is a rivalry. However, the military generals did not live up to expectations, and the civilized and military were respected for a long time. The glory of the martial saint was all taken away by Confucius.
Thanks to Chen Ke who allocated funds to renovate the main hall after entering the martial arts academy, and reshape the golden body of King Wu Cheng, and the incense is constantly flowing, the old man regained his vitality.
Above the main hall, Jiang Ziya was dressed in military uniform, holding a sword in one hand and holding a book in the other. He was sitting on a high platform, looking at the unscrupulous descendants with majestic eyes.
Chen Ke offered incense, and his two fellow convicts also followed suit. Then the three of them split up and offered incense to the famous generals from past dynasties who were worshiping in the palace.
After walking around, the three of them left the palace. Wang Zhongzheng, who had always been a man of few words, suddenly asked: "Why is Jiang Ziya also called Lu Gongwang?"
"You don't need the number one scholar to answer this, I can answer your father-in-law." Li Weixian smiled and said: "Because his ancestor once helped Dayu control the floods and was granted the title of Lu, he was also called Lu Shang. Later, King Wen of Zhou worshiped him as his disciple.
, once said to him: "My ancestor Taigong said, 'There should be a sage suitable for the Zhou Dynasty, and the Zhou Dynasty will prosper'. The son is really evil! My Taigong has been looking forward to his son for a long time." Therefore, later generations respectfully call Jiang Shang Taigong Wang, also called Lu Gongwang."
"That's it," Wang Zhongzheng suddenly said. He looked at Li Weixian meaningfully and said, "Thank you for your advice." After saying that, he cupped his hands and walked away.
"What does he mean?" Li Weixian looked at Chen Ke blankly and said, "Did I say something wrong?"
"Haha." Chen Ke said with a smile: "You are right, but the prince has been smart and knowledgeable since he was a child. He will definitely know that 'my great-grandfather has been looking forward to his son for a long time.'"
Li Weixian was horrified and thought about it carefully. He was not stupid, and he quickly understood what Wang Zhongzheng meant, and suddenly he was sweating profusely.
