After Yun Wuji asked this question, everyone fell silent.
Whether it is the six ministers or the three generals, they all chose to remain silent at this time. Of course, they, the people in power, are very clear about the current situation. However, the situation that we have today did not happen overnight. This is what people in power in all ages have known. What can they do about problems they don't understand?
"Dear sirs, why are you silent? Didn't you just give me advice and suggestions, saying that if this doesn't work, that won't work?" Yun Wuji looked at everyone's reaction, snorted coldly, and continued: "If you all There is no way, but I do have a way, my dear friends, are you willing to listen to it??"
Yun Wuji had said this, how could the people below be so ignorant? At this moment, all of them bowed and saluted, and replied: "Everything will be obeyed by His Highness the Crown Prince."
Yun Wuji nodded with satisfaction, it would be much easier to obey.
"Three generals, Weiyuan, Northern Expedition, and Huguo, I know the strength of your troops. In addition to the Northern Expeditionary Army, the Weiyuan Army and the Huguo Army have each sent 10,000 troops to support Luo Shenhou and be responsible for cleaning up the Jianghu Sect. Door." Yun Wuji said at this time.
The Weiyuan Army is the internal guard force of the imperial court. It is responsible for guarding the safety of the capital and countering possible riots and other problems within Dali. For example, the Imperial Forest Army and the Golden Armor Guards within the capital fall under the category of the Weiyuan Army.
And now only the Weiyuan Army can move. Now the Dali court is relatively stable, and although the situation is serious, internally, this tense situation is not felt at all, because there is no destruction, and the people are still living and working in peace and contentment. It is necessary to waste so much power of the Weiyuan Army to guard, which is why Yun Wuji cannot help but use 10,000 Weiyuan Army troops.
As the name suggests, the Northern Expeditionary Army is an army specifically responsible for resisting the barbarians in the North. The Northern Expeditionary Army and the army commanded by the Marquis of Luoshen complement each other.
Usually Luo Shenhou led the army to resist the barbarians in the North and guard the north, but now Luo Shenhou focused on clearing the Jianghu sects, and the Northern Expeditionary Army now became the main force guarding the North.
And for this reason, considering the situation in the North, Yun Wuji did not say anything about letting the Northern Expeditionary Army also dispatch troops. It is already extremely rare for the Northern Expeditionary Army to be able to keep the barbarians in check.
As for the National Guard Army, it is the army that guards the Gu tribe in the south, and is guarded and governed by King Pingnan.
But now the situation is here. The troubles of the Jianghu clan are even more serious for the Dali Dynasty. Because the Gu clan wants to marry Princess Yunxi and achieve a marriage, in a short period of time, the Gu clan and the Dali Dynasty, It is impossible for a large-scale conflict to occur. In order to fight against the Gu tribe, the army of the Dali Dynasty also dispatched a lot of troops. It can be said that the number of the Dali army guarding the south is not much different than that of the Dali army guarding the north.
But now that the situation has eased, there is no need to leave so many troops stationed.
However, considering that the Gu clan is capricious, and that the King of Gu has a very big plan and his ambition is obvious, it is not impossible for him to break up in the future.
Therefore, Yun Wuji cautiously mobilized only ten thousand troops.
This time, the three generals stopped talking. What His Highness the Prince is saying now is an ultimatum and an order. No one can disobey him. If he continues to disobey, it will be hard to tell whether he is good or bad.
However, after His Highness the Crown Prince finished speaking, everyone basically accepted it.
This result is considered the best solution now.
…
"There is one more thing. Are you willing to discuss it?" Yun Wuji continued at this time.
Everyone said: "Your Highness, please make it clear."
Yun Wuji said calmly: "Do you know Fang Yi?"
After hearing this, everyone was slightly startled, but immediately, the six ministers and the three generals all said in unison: "I know."
The name Fang Yi is very famous, they have known it before.
A new son-in-law from the North came all the way from the North to marry Luo Qingyi, the daughter of Luo Shenhou. The Luo family's new son-in-law Fang Yi.
But this son has extraordinary talents, he is good at poetry, and his talents in Confucianism and Taoism are unprecedented and unparalleled. He climbed to the top of Book Mountain, ranked first in the peak competition, and destroyed the Demon Realm.
Even as high-level officials in Dali, they also knew that Fang Yi helped Zhao Wuji become an eighth-level Confucian scholar, creating the current Confucian and Taoist situation in which Song Zhiwen and Zhao Wuji shine.
It can be said that Fang Yi alone deserves the most credit for Dali's efforts to quell the demonic scourge.
Of course they knew about such an outstanding genius.
Yun Wuji smiled and said, "I think you should know about Fang Yi. This son has amazing poetic talent. I have seen it with my own eyes."
"Have you ever known that he has a stunning poem?" Yun Wuji continued.
The Minister of Rites stood up at this time. He was in charge of the education of the world. Fang Yi's amazing poems had been compiled into volumes and distributed to various academic palaces for their disciples to study.
So he was naturally very familiar with it. When he heard Yun Wuji talking about Fang Yi's amazing poems, the Minister of Rites immediately stood up.
"I don't know which song your highness is talking about??" the Minister of Rites asked.
Yun Wuji glanced at the people in the audience, and said with a half-smile, "It's a poem called "Old General's Journey"."
As soon as Yun Wuji said these words, everyone else was stunned, and they all began to think about the content of the poem "The Journey of a Veteran".
Only the face of the Minister of Rites suddenly changed. He looked at Yun Wuji in disbelief. He never expected that Yun Wuji would mention this poem in public! !
Seeing the change in the face of the Minister of Etiquette, everyone felt a thump in their hearts and had some bad premonitions.
Is it possible that there are some unknown secrets in "Veteran General's Journey"? ?
The few warriors were very shocked. Only the ministers from the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of War had their eyes flickering at this time. They looked at the Minister of Rites and then at Yun Wuji, as if they had thought of something.
The six ministers, except the minister of punishment, the other five are all seventh-grade Confucian scholars. They have been immersed in Confucianism and Taoism for many years. Naturally, they immediately remembered Fang Yi's "Old General's Journey", and naturally they also knew Fang Yi's poem. What was said, and what was the purpose of this poem that Yun Wuji suddenly mentioned today.
"Veteran's Journey" is a battle poem written by Fang Yi at the top competition in the Academy.
Needless to say, this war poem is powerful and can help veterans temporarily improve their combat effectiveness.
It is worth mentioning the intention behind this poem.
Fang Yi originally composed this poem to criticize Dali's government.
"Old General's Journey" tells the story of Dali soldiers who returned from the army and were unwilling to continue serving the Dali court and their ambition to continue fighting for the country.
However, the policy of the Dali court was to emphasize culture over martial arts, and even supported Taoism more than martial arts.
The soldiers who returned from the army had to make a living in their own way, but because those soldiers were all strong martial arts masters, as soon as they came back, they returned to the grassland and became a major source of disciples for the sect.
For many years, the Jianghu sect has been unable to lose its power. One of the reasons is that the Dali court has allowed it to happen, which in disguise has added fuel to the flames.
But this is a national policy, and it has been a national policy since the founding emperor and has never wavered.
Other things may have changed in the successive emperors of the Dali court, but this national policy is simply the foundation of the country. No emperor has ever wanted to use this national policy.
This was also due to the weakness of the Dali military. When they fought together in the Southeast and the North, the Dali military was stretched thin and could hardly find any available soldiers. This resulted in a disastrous defeat in the North and the Luoshen Marquis was seriously injured.
This is the drawback.
Fang Yi's "The Journey of Veterans" is a satire on this national policy.
The Confucian scholar Zhiwen of the Song Dynasty was still afraid of affecting the war situation at that time, and issued a sage order to "keep silent". All Confucian scholars in Dali were not allowed to continue to discuss this poem.
But as time goes by, and several of the masters are seventh-grade scholars, keeping silent is becoming less and less effective for them.
In the end, it was almost useless to them.
But this time, Yun Wuji brought up the past here again. Fang Yi had written so many amazing poems, but Yun Wuji did not mention other poems at all, but specifically mentioned Fang Yi's "Old General's Journey", and put it. Here, there is something else.
No one spoke, but no one could speak. At this time, the Minister of Rites had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Fang Yi's "Old General's Journey" is a rare masterpiece among shocking poems. It tells the story of the veteran. The determination to serve the country and the noble integrity of being willing to die on the battlefield are exactly the sentiments of many veterans in our army. I secretly think that this poem..."
When the Minister of Rites was about to continue speaking, Yun Wuji suddenly interrupted him: "Zhang Shangshu, this prince did not ask you to appreciate this poem..."
As he spoke, he glanced over one by one, but selectively ignored the Minister of Punishment and the three generals.
Damn it, His Royal Highness is discriminating! !
One of the generals immediately felt as if he had been insulted. Why didn't he look at us, thinking we didn't know the war poem? ?
Okay, I really don't seem to have any impression.
Damn it, these people who are playing Confucianism and Taoism are the mother-in-law and mother-in-law. Can't they just say what they have to say? Do they have to be so roundabout? ?
Vulgar warriors cannot understand the twists and turns of those people, so it is difficult to understand what they are doing now.
But the faces of the other five ministers changed.
"Your Highness, please think twice." After a long silence, the Minister of War was the first to speak.
Yun Wuji sighed and said, "I thought that as the Minister of War, you would support me..."
At this time, the Minister of Rites stepped forward again and said: "Your Highness, you must think twice. The laws of our ancestors are immutable..."
They all already understood Yun Wuji's intention.
Yun Wuji wanted to borrow the power of those veteran generals who had entered the Jianghu sect and recall them to continue to join Dali's army to continue fighting.
But this is a big matter, and it may be a matter involving the country.
After all, the previous generations of emperors had adhered to this national policy very well. Now Yun Wuji suddenly said that he wanted to change this national policy. This was something that everyone found difficult to accept for a while.
"Your Highness, please think twice. If this matter needs to be discussed, let's wait until His Majesty wakes up." The Minister of Staff also spoke at this time. Now, it's time for them to all express their stance.
But they all unanimously agreed, and surprisingly they all chose not to support it.
This matter is too big.
There were many generals who came out of the Dali military in the past. Many of them had no positions or were injured. The Dali court chose to treat them coldly.
This in itself makes it difficult for those heroes who have entered the wild to accept it. If they are recalled rashly, they may not get the expected results, and may even lose more than they gain.
And once they return, these people will need countless martial arts resources to practice. This is why Dali cannot afford to support so many martial arts monks.
Of course, there is a more important issue, that is, the use of force to break the ban.
Too many martial arts monks will cause today's situation, just like the problem of Jianghu sects that cannot be disciplined.
If it were not for war, the Dali court would not need so many forbidden martial arts monks.
"So, you all don't agree with my idea." Yun Wuji didn't have the slightest surprise at this time, but asked.
Some people died, but not completely...
