Wei Yuancheng saw Xue Wang's confusion and continued:
"The Han Dynasty selects talents based on their talents. When we encounter talented people, we are naturally willing to recommend them. Your son has courage that no man can match, and if you train him more, he will be a strong general. In the future, he will be able to take over the mantle of the sages and open up the territory for the Han Dynasty. This is also
It's a good thing, of course I don't mind recommending him to prevent him from being able to display his talents and end up harming the big man, right?"
Xue Wang suddenly smiled.
We, father and son, do not dare to rebel.
What's more, if you are getting along so well in the Han Dynasty, why would you want to rebel?
Wei Yuancheng also felt that he had gone too far, and couldn't help but laugh: "If you can truthfully explain your merits, you will be reused by the court, and then someone will also be known as Bole. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
Xue Wang smiled, but seemed to be still thinking about something.
Wei Yuancheng didn't say any more.
People of the older generation like Xue Wang were born in troubled times, and the concept they accepted since childhood is to protect the ancestral property and revitalize the family. For them, the honor and disgrace interests of the family and individuals are obviously higher than the honor and disgrace interests of the nation and the country. If it were not for
The interests of the Jincheng Xue family have been tightly tied to the survival of Jincheng and the survival of the people of Jincheng. It is unlikely that the Jincheng Xue family will obediently guard this remote gate in the northwest.
It is precisely because of this deep-rooted family concept that Xue Wang, who is one level younger than himself but much older in age, is respectful in front of him. Because Xue Wang respects not himself, a partial general, but himself.
Behind Changan Webster.
This concept is obviously out of date for today's Han Dynasty, but after all, Xue Wang, who was born in the northwest, has little contact with the mainstream thinking of the Central Plains, so it is naturally difficult to accept and understand this kind of thinking.
Here lies his entanglement and hesitation.
When Wei Yuancheng told him that the aristocratic family was nothing, and that the aristocratic family was gradually becoming a drag on a person's progress, Xue Wang certainly felt that his world view had been subverted. Wei Yuancheng believed that he had been to Anding before,
Xue Wang, who was familiar with the existing mainstream thoughts of the Han Dynasty, was definitely not completely unaware of this matter, but Xue Wang did not want to accept or admit it.
After all, it is unrealistic for a person to admit that all his cognitions in the first half of his life are wrong. Looking at it now, those who can accept and support this ideological trend are actually the same as Wei Yuancheng
Young people. As for the former mainstays of various aristocratic families, at this time, they actually chose to take a back seat because they were cautious and wait-and-see about this trend. This was not only to make room for young people, but also to have doubts about themselves.
Therefore, Wei Yuancheng is not surprised that Xue Wang would have such thoughts and reactions.
What Wei Yuancheng wants to do is to prevent Xue Wang's thoughts from continuing to affect Xue Ju.
Therefore, he was also happy to explain Xue Ju's contribution to the superiors, so that Xue Ju would naturally have the opportunity to study in school and be exposed to these new ideological trends.
Of course, such a fierce general cannot be allowed to be used by the court or tolerated by this generation because of his conservative and backward thinking.
Xue Wang could obviously feel that Wei Yuancheng didn't have much malice, so although he didn't understand it, he still supported it.
——————————————
It was already dark in Chang'an City, but the lights in the imperial study were brightly lit.
The quarrels in the outer compartment have not stopped. This is because the staff of the Taiwei Mansion are discussing the latest strategic arrangements.
It was nominally a discussion, but it sounded like a quarrel.
Everyone's strategic plan is different, and naturally there will be disputes during the review process. If Li Xingchen hadn't carried Zhang Xutuo with him and was still able to convince the crowd, these advisers would have made the entire roof topple over in such a quarrel.
.Especially the several guards and generals who accompanied him came here to join in the fun when they were not required to patrol. They have all been on the battlefield, so naturally they have more say in the specific implementation of the strategy and their voices are louder.
It was so loud that it provoked the officials from various departments working in other wings to come out and ask them to keep their voices down more than once.
In the inner compartment, officials from the six departments were also busy.
The large armies mobilized this time were not marching together like the previous Northern Expedition, but elites were drawn from various places and gathered together in one place. The number of troops and horses mobilized may not be as many as that of the Northern Expedition, but the complexity was greater than that of the Northern Expedition.
After all, during the Northern Expedition, all the armies were self-contained, and their supplies of food, fodder, equipment, etc. were all directly connected to the rear. But now that all the troops and horses needed by all the armies need to be coordinated by the small imperial court in Chang'an, so naturally there are more things to do.
stand up.
Fortunately, compared to the Northern Expedition, at least the ministries do not have to be responsible for the reception of local and state capitals and the appointment of personnel. And there is no need to worry about insufficient manpower.
Chang'an Academy and Chang'an Military Academy are two very good talent pools. Since Yujia arrived in Chang'an, senior students from these two academies have directly entered internship status. To put it bluntly, they have all been recruited, even in departments that are in urgent need of talents.
, even the gentlemen from the college are not spared.
For students, this is certainly not a bad thing. They have actually learned almost all the knowledge they can learn from books, but lack of practice. This is naturally a good opportunity. When the time comes to take the imperial examination, this section
Showing your experience will naturally impress the examiner.
Li Xingchen was sitting at the top, holding his chin, and seemed to be thinking, but Yu Chizhen, who was sitting diagonally behind him, could clearly state that His Majesty was actually dozing off.
The entire imperial court has been in a state of flux these past few days. His Majesty has just inspected several academies and hospitals in Chang'an during the day. In the evening, he has to review the dispatch of various supplies in the rear. Later, he has to hear from the Taiwei Mansion about the next battle.
s arrangement.
Even a tough guy can't stand it.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Zhang Xutuo's voice sounded outside.
Li Xingchen suddenly woke up.
"Your Majesty, good news. General Xiao has defeated ten Qiang camps in the Tao River. The Qiang tribes along the Tao River have retreated along the Huang River. In addition, no less than four or five villages have sent people to contact the army, intending to attack us.
The great Han proclaimed himself a minister." Zhang Xutuo strode in and raised the memorial in his hand.
Li Xingchen suddenly became energetic, and the ministers in the imperial study also exchanged glances.
This good news is really exciting!
The Han Dynasty is now under great pressure in the northwest. A great victory is enough to prove that at least the strategic arrangement adopted by the Han Dynasty is correct. The Qiang people's initiative to abandon the Taoshui defense line also means that Xiao Mohe can finally contact Jincheng to the north.
Contact Tianshui to the east, build a line of defense to block the northwest flank and directly contact Wuwei, and catch the Tuyuhun army that may move from Wuwei or Anding battlefields to Taoshui in order to retreat into Qiang territory.
In this way, the big man can concentrate all his efforts on dealing with threats from the front.
