Chapter 1079: Civil and Military Game (Seeking Monthly Pass)
To be honest, Li Qi didn't know why these ministers came here. This was definitely not their style, but Li Qi knew that these ministers must be very scared and jealous at this time.
Why the Song Dynasty repeatedly sued for peace is because civil servants did not want to fight wars all year round. There were many political reasons for this, but the civil and military system of the Song Dynasty was definitely one of the reasons, and it was also the main reason. Although the Song Dynasty had always been led by civil servants,
However, once a war breaks out, it will be the generals who will steal the show. Without the war between Song and Xia, how could Di Qing have risen from a small soldier to the position of Privy Councilor?
It can be seen that only war can change the system of using civil society to control military force. Therefore, whether to seek war or peace is not judged based on the battle situation, but the direction of the court's power. This is why the Song Dynasty lost or won.
They would all choose to seek peace first. That is because civil servants constantly hoped to avoid war by seeking peace for the sake of their own status. Of course, this does not mean that seeking peace is necessarily wrong. In peaceful times, the Song Dynasty was the strongest.
, but how long will it take for you to seek peace? Obviously, these civil servants will not worry so much, they will only put their own interests first.
Jealousy and fear are inevitable.
These two things alone made Li Qi very worried.
Because jealousy and fear can drive a person to do anything.
However, after the arrival of these ministers, the atmosphere of the banquet completely changed. The soldiers lowered their heads and ate conscientiously, not daring to speak as freely as they did just now.
They are all reckless people. God knows what they should not say. If they say the wrong thing and are heard by these civil servants, they will have to shed their skin even if they die. The Song Dynasty only said not to kill scholar-bureaucrats, but it did not say
I won’t kill your general, so it won’t be wrong if you don’t tell me.
Living in such an environment, how could they not understand the truth?
2. On the surface, those civil servants were harmonious. When they met Yue Fei and others, they even encouraged them a few words, but no one could tell that they looked down on these generals at all. They all stood far away, unwilling to interact with these generals.
Sitting at the same table. Maintaining a symbol of one's identity.
Li Qidu saw it and felt depressed in his heart. It was like a pot of good soup with a few extra grains of mouse droppings. It looked awkward, so he found an opportunity. Carrying a cup of tea, he walked over to Zhao Kai
Beside him, he looked straight ahead and said calmly: "Your Highness, you really shouldn't have brought them here."
Zhao Kai rolled his eyes when he heard this and said excitedly: "Do you think I want to bring them here? They came on their own, and they ruined all my fun. These straight women are so abominable."
He snorted angrily and said: "Originally I planned to come to you this morning, but I think about it, you guys must be very tired after fighting hard all night, and I heard that you will hold a banquet tonight to reward the soldiers.
, so I planned to come back in the evening, and I also prepared a lot of words of thanks. I wanted to tell the soldiers, but they also said they would come to this banquet to congratulate you. Can I stop them."
Sweating! He looked even more depressed than me! Li Qi smiled and changed the subject: "They're not forcing you to sue for peace now, are they?"
Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment and said: "I find it quite strange to hear you say that. These days, they have been much silent. Every day in court, only a few people want me to send someone to sue for peace. These people
I didn’t say anything more.”
"Yeah?"
Li Qi frowned and said, "Now is a good time to seek peace. There is no reason for them not to mention it at all."
Zhao Kai said: "I can't understand this either."
Did I miss something? The more Li Qi thought about it, the more doubtful he became, and he regretted not going to court in the first place.
Zhao Kai has been facing the peace seekers every day recently, and his head hurts. Now that he finally came to the military camp, of course he didn't want to talk about it, so he changed the subject and said: "Tell me about the battle last night. I heard that last night was a fateful one."
Hanging by a thread, we were almost annihilated, but it was only thanks to an unexpected force that we were able to turn defeat into victory."
When he talked about fighting, he was very excited again.
I believe that anyone who participated in last night's battle would not want to participate in it again. It was too life-threatening. For both sides, success or failure was determined by that meal.
But people like Zhao Kai and Gao Yanei who were not involved felt that this battle was earth-shattering, and they were very eager to know every detail of it. In fact, Gao Yanei and the others came here just for this. As for the rewards for the troops, that was all
Just an excuse.
Li Qi suddenly thought of something and said, "Your Highness, has anyone been looking for you recently?"
Zhao Kai was slightly stunned and said: "Who is it?"
Didn't she go to find Zhao Kai? Li Qi felt a little relieved and said with a smile: "Oh, it's nothing. I won't go into details about the battle last night. In short, the process was really life-threatening. We were completely overwhelmed.
Wanyan Zongwang was plotted, and he almost wiped out all our main forces in one night. Fortunately, at the most critical moment, that strange army appeared, otherwise, the one standing here now would probably be the Jin people. As for that strange army,
I will introduce you later."
After hearing this, Zhao Kai nodded and said, "Wanyan Zongwang is really a terrifying opponent."
Regarding this point, Li Qi was quite helpless and said: "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that currently, no one in Kaifeng is Wanyan Zongwang's opponent. We can win, except for luck, because there are many people. If
With the same number of soldiers and horses, we will definitely lose."
Zhao Kai hummed, his mood was very complicated, and he didn't say much. The current Wanyan Zongwang in front of him seemed to be an insurmountable mountain.
Li Qi didn't pay too much attention and continued: "Oh, there is something else I want to discuss with you."
Zhao Kai was slightly startled and said, "What's the matter?"
"Of course it's a reward based on merit!"
Li Qi slightly said with a hint of helplessness: "These soldiers fought bloody battles. Although it is said to protect their homeland and the country, this is not a charity event after all. It is just some material rewards. I think it will affect the mood of the soldiers. If they are not promoted,
Officer, they won’t say anything with their mouths, but they will definitely have thoughts in their hearts. If we are not qualified to give them anything, it will be difficult for them to risk their lives for us."
This is a very simple truth. Of course people want to be promoted through meritorious service when fighting. Those who don't want to do so are definitely fools. Even Gao Yanei knows the twists and turns involved.
Zhao Kai sighed and said: "Of course I understand this, but the problem is. I am just the regent. I have no qualifications to reward them. Moreover, Yue Fei and Niu Gao are all commanders of the Fourth Army.
Up there is the Marquis of Yu, and you should know that. It must be appointed by the emperor himself. It is really a blessing to Wang Fu that you were able to sit in the position of Deputy Marshal Ma in the first place. In fact, I am really eager to give it to them.
What, but---ugh."
The more he spoke, the more anxious he became, and the more anxious he became, the more helpless he felt.
Li Qidao: "I know this, but we can find another shortcut!"
Zhao Kai hurriedly asked: "What shortcut?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Three yamen and nine positions. Yue Fei and the others are definitely not qualified. Even if the emperor is here, it is impossible for them to directly serve as the supreme commander of the three yamen. After all, they are not the emperor's cronies, but in this extraordinary period
, you can still appoint me as a commander, right?"
Zhao Kai said: "I can do that, but the problem is that there are only a few positions of commander. Almost all of them are full, and they all have merit, so it is impossible to replace them."
Li Qidao: "This is very simple. We can use this to add a few more armies. It is normal to expand the army at this time. I believe no one dares to object. If there are more armies, there will be more official positions. All this will be solved easily."
.”
Zhao Kai blinked and said: "Oh, this is really a good idea. You are better than me at this deception."
Damn it! What kind of fraud? Have you ever read a book? Li Qi said angrily: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."
Zhao Kai chuckled and said, "Honestly, have you thought about it a long time ago?"
Li Qidao: "It's not that I've thought about it a long time ago, but I feel that rewards based on merit are urgent and we must find a way to solve it."
"That's true."
"But you can't let me come forward again." Li Qi said: "If you blindly emphasize my status in the army, if I have any shortcomings, you should also establish a certain attitude in the hearts of the soldiers about who will lead them.
of prestige.”
Zhao Kai clicked his tongue and said, "Please don't keep saying these depressing words. It sounds really weird and scary."
Li Qi sighed: "You think I want to say that, but after these wars, I discovered how fragile life is. This is just a very real problem."
"Stop talking about this."
Zhao Kai waved his hand and said: "Now this Jin army no longer poses a fatal threat to us, it is time for us to fight back."
Li Qi hummed and said, "As soon as the breeder's reinforcements arrive, that's when we blow the counterattack horn."
A smile appeared on Zhao Kai's lips, he was looking forward to that moment very much.
After the two of them talked, Li Qi went to chat with the civil servants. After all, they were congratulating him, and even if he didn't want to, he had to go and chat with them.
Fortunately, Zhao Kai attracted the hatred away at the beginning, but Li Qi has only been focusing on fighting recently and has not had any conflicts with them. It is Zhao Kai who is dealing with them, so now Zhao Kai has become the number one enemy of the peace-seeking faction.
, Li Qi could only settle for second place, so they did not deliberately target Li Qi.
Li Qi didn't want to be enemies with them at this time, so he smiled and talked with them happily.
Zhao Kai walked towards Yue Fei and others with another glass of wine. From a distance, he heard Gao Yanei shouting: "Xiao Qian, write it down quickly, write it down quickly, especially what Niu Gao said just now."
You must write down the Battle of Qingtian Village for me. I also plan to learn from Li Qi and write a novel or something, and the name will be called --- called ---."
Zhao Kai said loudly: "How about calling it Gao Yanei's Romance?"
"Hey! This is a good name, much better than Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
Gao Yanei slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly. He suddenly turned his head and stood up hurriedly: "Brother, you're here!"
I have to say that, except for Li Qi, Gao Yanei was very polite to people of the older generation. After all, he was a child of the upper class. No matter how bastard he was, he still knew how to be polite.
Yue Fei and others also quickly stood up.
Zhao Kai smiled, then raised his glass to Yue Fei and others and said: "Yue Fei, Niu Gao, between you and me, we will not say those polite words. I respect you, and I will do it first." After that, he said
Drink it all.
Yue Fei and others were frightened, especially Wu Jie and the other three who were so cautious. They did not expect that the dignified regent would propose a toast to them. They all quickly raised their glasses in toast, then raised their necks and drank.
Yue Fei stepped forward and introduced brothers Wu Jie and Zhang Xian to Zhao Kai, saying that they were rebels from the northwest.
This is what Li Qi taught him before.
Zhao Kai saw that these three people seemed to have the courage to do anything, and he was very happy. Without asking any more questions, he poured another glass of wine and drank with them. After talking with Yue Fei and others, Zhao Kai
Kai went to the others to toast and express his gratitude.
Those soldiers were all very happy with Zhao Kai's approach. It was a very happy thing to be taken seriously by others, especially by their superiors.
But the civil servants watching from a distance didn't think so.
"Hmph! Even if they have made great contributions, you, the majestic regent, should not go and toast to these warriors. It is really inappropriate. Is there any distinction between superiority and inferiority?"
"Brother Jiang, don't be angry. Apart from pleasing these warriors, what else can he do? Let's see how long he can stay angry. When the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince come back, he will have to stand aside."
"That's true. Haha!"
PS: My anus is inexplicably sore tonight! Turn your head back --- no, you should look up and look forward. It turns out that someone "angry" exploded your anus! Sure enough, seeing red is a sign, oh! Rub it,
