"hehe…"
Emperor Xuanwu smiled casually and said immediately: "Boy! In the past two years in Beiliang, not only have you grown up, but your body has also become stronger and stronger. It seems that the experience of these two years has changed you quite a lot."
"I! I just want to hear what you want to express today?"
today! Emperor Xuanwu didn't really mean to blast Dongfang Yu out. But sometimes, if you say too many wrong words, you will become a source of leverage for others, and you may die at any time.
Just like today, when the Five Emperors are all here, if Dongfang Yuruo continues to speak, he will offend the Holy Will! Even for a prince, it is not a capital crime, nor is it as simple as a light punishment! In addition, all the princes coveted the throne. How could they not seize the excuse and impeach him to death?
Dongfang Yu was stunned and said: "Father, do you really want to hear it?"
Emperor Xuanwu confirmed: "I want to ask you, why is Dawu getting weaker day by day? What is the problem? And how to solve it?"
"Also! What about the disaster caused by the Xiongnu? What about the disaster caused by the Japanese invaders? What about the four dangers of the Great War! What about it! I want to hear it!"
Dongfang Yu thought for a moment, raised his head and looked at the sky, and suddenly said: "Why is Dawu so weak? It's not in foreign countries at all, but in China!"
"In the imperial court, power is divided among relatives and profits among aristocratic families, let's talk about the four major families in the capital. For two hundred years, the Liu family has hereditary titles and official positions, and the military power of the world is in the hands of the general. What can be controlled by the Dongfang family themselves. Military power is very little.”
"Prime Minister Ye Yi, one of the three princes, the Ye family, one of the four major families in the capital. The Ye family is one of the founders of the family. Its influence has long been deeply rooted in the imperial capital and is difficult to shake. There are people in charge of politics, households, and industry. At present, my father is the emperor. , and let General Ye Yi lead Shandong’s anti-Japanese military affairs. Overtly, he was fighting the Japanese pirates externally, but secretly he was working with the General’s Mansion to separate and balance the enemy!”
"Let's talk about the Grand Sima Wang Mingzhang, one of the three princes, and one of the four major families in the capital. The Wang family is also one of the founders of the family. Its power is deeply rooted in the imperial capital, not to mention."
"It is also said that Cai Zhong, the imperial censor, is also one of the three princes, and one of the earliest families to follow the founding father. The Cai family is even more difficult to deal with. There is the Queen's harem to mediate, and there is an old guy like Cai Zhong who controls the affairs outside. Coupled with the relationship of the prince, he is the most difficult person to deal with in the imperial court."
"As a result, the imperial power of the four families has been divided, and the relatives have taken over the power. The power that can be held in the hands of my Dongfang family is very little. For this reason! Can our great martial country not weaken?"
But if you want to bring Dawu back on track, it cannot be done by the current old method. But to introduce new politics and laws to replace the old with the new, even! Repeal the old law! Although Dawu has been in existence for six hundred years, the laws of the past dynasties have undergone many changes.
But above the code, the system still has a lot of problems! Just like! Since Emperor Xuanwu ascended the throne, in order to strengthen the control of new powers, he established schools, selected Jinshi, and promoted new talents to fill the current shortage of talents in Dawu.
It was originally a very good system, but the court was not firm in its efforts and actions! After all, Emperor Xuanwu's selection of talents cannot be separated from the relationship between the family, and he must truly select talents that are appropriate, fair and just. The children of poor families were suppressed by the nobles everywhere, so they left the court for a time. Over time, the court's method became invalid.
Just like Tian Ping and Xu Meng, one is a Jinshi in politics and governance; the other is a military strategist and a Jinshi in strategy. With the talent of these two people, one can be the prime minister of the court, and the other can be the chief minister, that's it! If one person is in charge of government and the other is in charge of foreign affairs, how can there be any instability in the world?
therefore! If you want to make Dawu look brand new again, you can't do it alone. The four major families must be resolved and regaining power is the basis for governing the country.
certainly! Which country, when implementing new policies, does not move forward arduously amid piles of corpses and pools of blood?
in addition! As for the disasters caused by the Huns and Japanese pirates, the fundamental reason is the first point above. Without strong policies to enrich and strengthen the country; without strong military power to protect the country, how can we fight against the Huns and Japanese pirates!
Under the leadership of Huerzan, the northern Huns vigorously appointed talents and used talents in an eclectic way! Regardless of whether he is a great martial artist or a foreigner, as long as he is talented enough and attracts Huerzan's attention, he can be appointed to a corresponding position based on his talent.
On this basis, by implementing new policies and employing talents, and then enriching the country and strengthening the people, the quality of the army will naturally become stronger. The reason why the Northern Huns were able to increase their troops to 400,000 and have them well-trained was not because of their bravery, but because they appointed a group of generals who could run the army.
then! With strong military power, he destroyed the Huns, Hu people, and Qiang people in the south, thus establishing the Liao Dynasty and daring to fight against the enemy in a separate battle with Dawu. This is not a whim of the Huns, but a powerful one.
The Huns should not be underestimated! But at least to say, with the current Huns, unifying the grassland and quelling the civil strife, the deployment of troops and generals, as well as the expenditure of food and grass, may not be accomplished overnight. Although there is a battle between Dawu Kingdom and Da Liao, it is not immediate. At the earliest, it will take more than four months to prepare for the war.
after all! The Huns are not stupid! When comparing the Southern Xiongnu, Qiang people, Huns and Dawu, one is basically like heaven and the other is like earth, there is no comparison!
in addition! Although the territory occupied by the Huns in the grasslands was no different from that of Dawu, it was almost incomparable to Dawu, which was rich in products and had a large population. The Huns had cattle and sheep and vast grasslands. and! The population is sparse! is their biggest disadvantage.
………
Emperor Xuanwu listened with gusto! even! There are endless thoughts in my mind.
Also surprised?
did not expect! His sixth son was able to see the affairs of the world so thoroughly and clearly, and he even explained clearly how to manage the hidden dangers of the country.
Compared with it, the other five princes are almost incomparable.
How can this insight and far-reaching light be comparable to that of ordinary people! Oh my god? It turned out that among his sons, only King Qin, who seemed to be the most useless, was truly talented and strategic. If you can have this second insight, you already have certain qualifications to be an emperor.
"Yu'er, Yu'er! My father is more and more impressed by you." Emperor Xuanwu praised without hesitation.
"My father was ridiculous, but my son was just telling the truth!" Dongfang Yu said.
Emperor Xuanwu asked again: "Yu'er! Is your father asking you the last question?"
"What's the problem?" Dongfang Yu concentrated deeply, as if he could see through everything in his eyes.
"Father, I would like to know whether the spies sent from the imperial court were killed as soon as they arrived at the border of Beiliang. It was your fault?" Emperor Xuanwu said.
Dongfang Yu didn't shy away from saying, "My soldiers killed him."
"Then I'll ask you again! Beiliang! How many soldiers do you have?"
"One hundred thousand! And there is plenty of food and grass, so we can fight!"
Dongfang Yu also did not shy away from it.
"Okay! He's a man! We've been chatting for so long! It's time for us to go back to the house! Father is hungry."
Emperor Xuanwu was very satisfied with Dongfang Yu's answer. But the level of surprise in my heart is not low. Beiliang is barren, but it can raise 100,000 soldiers. I really don't know how the six sons did it?
Two people walking shoulder to shoulder, for this! Dongfang Yu didn't understand. Could it be that the last few words were just to explore his truth?
