Chapter 198: A spark can start a prairie fire

As soon as Wen Huanzhang said this, Xiao Tang's henchmen, subordinates and others all looked at him in surprise. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Xiao Tang knew that since a wise man like Wen Huanzhang who was proficient in strategy would not only say half of his words, he asked him calmly, "Oh? What evil can this judge do? ”

Wen Huanzhang pondered for a while, and said slowly: "According to Xiao Ke, according to my Great Song Dynasty, the rebellion and secession of the military people, the military system pursues strong cadres and weak branches, internal and external systems, and then fell into the dilemma of redundant soldiers, redundant expenses and redundant officials. The military superintendents of the state capitals appoint generals, and they are rarely allowed to honor their superiors according to the 'usual practice', and military discipline has been sluggish for a long time, and now Lord Xiao only uses thunderous means, so it is probably unrealistic to expect to be able to rectify the military discipline of the southwest road of Beijing.

It is easy to punish some indiscriminate generals who corrupt the military system, but they may not be able to provoke the backers behind their bribery...... What's more, the lord expects the new official to take office with three fires, so he wants to burn the indiscriminate mud in one fell swoop, which angers one or two court officials, but if it is a public anger......"

Xiao Tang nodded again and again after hearing this, he understood the meaning of Wen Huanzhang's words, there were tens of thousands of officials who maintained the operation of the huge country of the Great Song Dynasty, and they were intertwined, and there was no much relationship between them, and there was no such thing as a big deal.

This is not a trivial matter, for example, if in the later generations, in the officialdom of a certain country and various parts of the country, the atmosphere of taking kickbacks, doing favors, and standing in line up and down has become the norm, but there is a clean government official of a supervisory organization who takes matters into his own hands and dismisses and punishes lawless officials in large numbers, then is he not the enemy of the official eunuchs of the whole country and violates the interests of all officials? Xiao Tang is just a pacification envoy, although he can temporarily supervise the military power when he falls to the local government, but when he returns power, he is the official in the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, but in the eyes of the high-ranking and powerful officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he is just a petty official from the fifth grade, according to Xiao Tang's current officialdom power, can he afford to provoke those people?

If the ills in the military and political affairs of the Great Song Dynasty can be eliminated overnight, why should I want to raise a few rebel armies in the green forest? However, since this Wen Huanzhang has spoken out and pointed out the problem, how can there be no way to deal with it? Thinking of this, Xiao Tang asked Wen Huanzhang: "As Mr. Wen said, since one sentence has broken through the shortcomings in my army, I don't know what Mr. can teach me?" ”

Wen Huanzhang looked at Xiao Tang meaningfully, and said: "The plan is in the people, there are many constraints in this matter, what can Xiao Ke teach adults?" It's just that Xiao Ke really wants to know that Lord Xiao appeases Jingxi this time, is it for power? Or for the country? ”

Xiao Tang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh?" What about me? What about my country? ”

Wen Huanzhang stretched out two fingers and said: "If you only seek your own fame and power, you can only turn a blind eye to the bad habits of the military supervisors in the western states of Beijing, and you can't be a person who doesn't know how to be thoughtful." This trip is to be pacified and low-key, and it will not fall into the hands of others. In order to protect themselves, the military supervisors of the states will do their best to welcome the adults. After a round of inspection, the adults returned to Beijing, and also made personal affairs with some powerful people in the DPRK and China, and they were all happy at that time, so that they would not have a gap with their colleagues. If you are a major national business, you should naturally enforce the law in public service, reward and punish crimes, and know that there is corruption in the army, but if you just act like this...... As Xiao Ke said, adults will offend the anger of the public, and a catastrophe is imminent. ”

The meaning of Wen Huanzhang's words, to put it bluntly, is that Xiao Tang will either be in the same league with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, turn a blind eye and ignore it, and he can also end up with a chance to get a favor with other powerful people in the DPRK because of covering for the military supervisors of Zhuzhou; Either Xiao Tang is iron-faced and selfless, and he is a clean and honest fighter who is dedicated to the country and the people, but he does it like that, how much effect can he have, but he Xiao Tang is going to be a "martyr" first.

Xiao Tang closed his eyes and pondered for a while, sighed and said, "Sir, have you forgotten what I said to you that day?" It seems that Mr. still can't trust me Xiao Tang......"

Xu Guanzhong couldn't sit still here, he stood up on the ground, and said angrily: "National affairs, not a matter of one day and one day, now the treacherous and evil are in charge, jealousy and jealousy, if you want to do something, the matter should not be small, and the action should be slow and not urgent." There is a way that those who worry about the country lose their lives, and those who worry about themselves are safe, how can they care about the level of the moment when they fight for power?

How can Mr. Wen not hear that there are few gentlemen, villains are many, all invincible, my eldest brother is an aspiring hero, the plot is to make the people of the world happy, but I also know that the maggots of the country, the traitorous beetles in the army are involved and move the whole body, when we must be cautious, plan and then move, so I ask Mr. Wen to give a word. Why did Mr. Wen prevaricate and deceive each other so much? ”

"Guan Zhong! How can you be rude to Mr. Wen and sit down. Seeing that Xu Guanzhong, who was young and vigorous and intelligent, made Wen Huanzhang speechless for a while, Xiao Tang pretended to scold Xu Guanzhong to sit down, and said to Wen Huanzhang: "Mr. Wen, I have already said that the official family ordered me to open a government on Jingnan Road to set up a division, which is for the peace of the Jing side, so I asked Mr. to go out of the mountain to help." Mr. has the talent of Kuangji, and I hope that Mr. will not hesitate to give advice. ”

Wen Huanzhang was silent, he was the chief bookkeeper in Zezhou back then, but he was dismissed and returned to seclusion after not doing it for a long time, and he is also a character who has experienced the ups and downs of the Huan Sea. Wen Huanzhang is conceited and has learned from others, and he is dedicated to the country and the people, but he ended up being excluded and suppressed, and he can only be an idler in the mountains, which naturally makes him a little cynical and depressed.

But because of this, he also knew very well that the ills of the military and political affairs of the Great Song Dynasty could not be eradicated overnight. It is by no means possible to return the world to a peaceful and prosperous world by relying on a warm heart and a hot brain. If Xiao Tang is the kind of pretentious person who blindly argues with the powerful in the DPRK and China, and can't rub the slightest sand in his eyes, he still intends to only be his muffled gourd, and from time to time he will advise some painless strategies. Because Wen Huanzhang knew that if Xiao Tang was that kind of person, he would not be able to fight those powerful traitors who were skilled in power and magic.

If Xiao Tang has a different heart and finally chooses to follow the trend of the increasingly erosive atmosphere of the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, then Wen Huanzhang will still choose to keep a certain distance from Xiao Tang, maybe he will rely on Xiao Tang's promotion to seek an official body, and then live a life of prudence and self-care.

Wealth is constant, its way is real, blessings and misfortunes are fateful, and its way is to observe...... If you are a businessman, you can take risks in order to pay dividends of 30% and 50%, but if you are not careful, you will be beaten into the abyss and never be able to turn over. This Xiao Tang, since he is not the kind of reckless man who does not know the depth of the heights, is greedy for fame and invites real trouble, and he does have the heart to serve the country with his fists, if I can fully assist him in his career, can I also fulfill my long-cherished wish back then?

After more than ten years of silence, his heart seemed to be burning with a spark of flames, the corners of Wen Huanzhang's mouth turned up slightly, he respectfully saluted Xiao Tang, and said: "Xiao Ke is offended, since Lord Xiao treats Xiao Ke so sincerely, Xiao Ke knows everything." ”
