Qian Song

Chapter 371

...

"There are still conditions?!"

Yue Fei's expression immediately collapsed.

When Li Cun saw it, he couldn't help shaking his head, thinking: "If it were someone else, not to mention that I only have one condition, even if I have a hundred conditions, he would definitely agree first."

However, Li Cun then thought: "But besides the selfless Yue Fei, I really don't feel at ease letting others do this matter."

"Okay, don't put on a sour face. The matter I entrusted to you is not big, and it won't affect your cutting gold." Li Cun said.

Yue Fei's EQ is just a bit lacklustre, his IQ must be on the line, he will believe that the emperor solemnly asked him to do something, is it a trivial matter?

Therefore, even though Li Cun said so, Yue Fei still responded in a low-interest way: "No."

Li Cun wanted to say: "Look at your worthless appearance, such trivial things should be so reluctantly, what use do I want you for?"

But Li Cun thought about what he asked Yue Fei to do, and he could only say that Yue Fei did have foresight, and this matter was really not easy to handle.

Li Cun didn't talk nonsense with Yue Fei anymore, but directly said to the outside: "Come in."

Not long after Li Cun finished speaking, hundreds of people came in from outside in an orderly manner.

Seeing these hundreds of people, Yue Fei's expression became even more bitter!

Do you know why?

The Daqian Dynasty was still black, but Li Cun did not overbearingly prevent everyone in the world from wearing black. This is also unrealistic. After all, the uniforms of the Qianjun are all black.

Based on this, the Ministry of Rites stipulated that the emperor's servants should wear black and yellow, and embroider dragon, Zhai and twelve chapter patterns. No one should dress in black and yellow, let alone embroider dragon, Zhai and twelve chapter patterns.

The prince's costume is black with orange, orange, vermilion and the like, with five crowns.

At this moment, Yue Fei looked at the past, and the hundreds of people who came in were all black with orange, orange, vermilion and the like, each with five crowns.

So, how could Yue Fei not know that these hundreds of people are all princes?
The things the emperor asked to do were still related to so many princes, so could it be a trivial matter?

Yue Fei secretly said: "This is a big trouble."

After seeing the ceremony, Li Cun said bluntly to Yue Fei: "I see that you don't have enough generals, so I will send you one hundred and seven generals."

When Yue Fei heard this, he hurriedly said: "Officials, absolutely not!"

Yue Fei's EQ is a bit low, but he's not stupid, how can he not understand, where are these one hundred and seven generals, clearly one hundred and seven hot potatoes?If he receives it, maybe the lives of the whole family will be accounted for in this matter.

Li Cun had already guessed that Yue Fei would have such a reaction.

In fact, if this matter were replaced by Li Cun, Li Cun would definitely try his best to shirk it.

In fact, if this job is done well, it will be useless, and if it is not done well, it may be bad luck.

But how could Li Cun change the national policy he had already set because of Yue Fei's thoughts?
Li Cun looked at Yue Fei and asked with a smile: "Ai Qing, why not?"

Yue Fei was not afraid of Li Cun's stern face, nor was he afraid of Li Cun scolding him, but Yue Fei was afraid of Li Cun laughing at him.

After following Li Cun for so many years, Yue Fei has already concluded that if Li Cun is willing to talk to someone with a straight face, even if he scolds someone, even if that person is afraid of making a big mistake, it will definitely be fine. Smile at a person, then that person is really dangerous.

Yue Fei hurriedly bowed to the ground, then bit the bullet and said: "The princes are all gold, can An Neng go to the front line to experience the life-and-death struggle?"

Li Cun listened and remained silent for a long time.

Yue Fei below was already sweating profusely under such tremendous pressure.

Yue Fei thought to himself: "My official family, what are you talking about, let me know if I die!"

From Yue Fei's point of view, it seemed like a century had passed before Li Cun said, "Ai Qing, do you know how to make me work hard for a long time?"

Yue Fei replied quickly as if he had been pardoned: "My humble minister is stupid."

Li Cun did not continue to shock Yue Fei, but gave the answer straightforwardly:
"The only way for me to work hard and prosper is to trust young people, give them more opportunities to exercise, and make them grow up. After all, you and I will grow old one day. This big work will pay off sooner or later. into the hands of their young men."

Yue Fei, who is not sensitive to politics, obviously did not think about such a thing.

Hearing what Li Cun said now, Yue Fei thought about it carefully, and it was really the case.

Yes.

Their generation brought down the country, but if the descendants of their generation can't do it, the country will definitely have to be taken away by others.

After reading Li Cun's words carefully, Yue Fei finally understood why Li Cun sent all the princes anonymously to the grassroots of the Daqian Dynasty to exercise when they were twelve or thirteen years old. .

Speaking of this matter, there are still many twists and turns.

Back then, when Li Cun wanted to release all his sons who were about to grow up to exercise, he was persuaded by many ministers.

At that time, those ministers euphemistically said that the prince is too young, and he is too delicate and expensive to go out to work. He wanted Li Cun to learn from the Zhao Song Dynasty and raise all the princes in Bianliang City, Tokyo, and not let any one out.

How could Li Cun fail to understand that these ministers were not worried about their sons' hardships and burdens, they were clearly afraid that they would entrust their sons in the future and cause the Daqian Dynasty's country and society to be unstable.

Moreover, some ministers were also worried that Li Cun would replace the founding hero with his own son in the future, thereby ruining the Daqian Dynasty.

Although Li Cun didn't say it clearly at the time, he also said that he would never enfeoff the existing territory of the Dagan Dynasty. The sons were secretly sent to various grassroots levels of the Daqian Dynasty.

When the ministers of the Daqian Dynasty knew about this, the princes who were about to grow up did not know where they were sent by Li Cunge, and it was a done deal.

There is no way, all the ministers of the Daqian Dynasty can only hope that Li Cun will make sense of his words and will not cause a split within the Daqian Dynasty.

This matter was so troublesome back then that Yue Fei knew about it.

Moreover, Yue Fei locked himself in the room in a daze, and wrote a [-]-word memorial to Li Cun, advising Li Cun not to follow the example of the Han and Tang Dynasties in entrusting the princes, otherwise he would be in chaos.

In the end, Li Cun only replied four words to Yue Fei: Train well.

After Zhang Jun found out about this, he found Yue Fei and said, "Stupid! I strictly enforce orders that soldiers are not allowed to interfere in politics. Not only do you interfere in politics, but you also want to interfere with His Majesty's arrangement for the prince. Do you want to die?!"

After Zhang Jun mentioned it, Yue Fei broke out in a cold sweat!
Yue Fei had been in fear for a long time, for fear that one day an imperial decree would suddenly be sent down to make him resign from the First Army.

Fortunately, that incident seems to have completely dissipated following Li Cun's "training well".

After that, Yue Fei devoted himself to military training and never dared to interfere in political affairs, especially the matter of Li Cun's placement of the princes.

Li Cun said leisurely: "In this world, after all, geniuses are very few, and most geniuses don't know how to work hard. They have talent in vain, but in the end they are hard to become masters. Therefore, it is better to ask them to start from the grassroots, and the waves wash away the sand. must be gold."

Li Cun looked at his sons, and said: "If virtue is not worthy, there will be disasters. If they are not worthy of a high position, then they will shine in the position that suits them, or they can be a rich family with peace of mind. For themselves, best for everyone else.”

"The officials are far-sighted!" Yue Fei sighed sincerely!

Li Cun looked at Yue Fei again, and introduced his sons: "The one hundred and seven sons of mine have all served in various armies for at least two years. Therefore, Aiqing, regardless of their young age, they are all veterans. Yes, and some of them have achieved the positions of commanders and junior military supervisors by themselves, and they are not ignorant of military yamen, so they will not reduce the combat power of your department."

Yue Fei had heard long ago that Li Cun not only sent his sons who were about to grow up to various grassroots in the Daqian Dynasty to train, but also sent many sons who were about to grow up to various armies to train. His first army may also have princes "WeChat private visit".

By the way, it is precisely because of this that the armies dare not slack off, and they dare not engage in empty pay or other tricks, which allows the dry army to maintain its peak combat power.

However, Yue Fei really didn't expect that Li Cun sent more than 100 sons to various armies to train.

No.

Yue Fei realized that what Li Cun said was that these more than 100 princes had served in the various armies for at least two years, so there must be many princes in the various armies who were "visiting in private"!
Yue Fei really admires Li Cun's courage.

Of course, Yue Fei admired Li Cun's super fertility, which is unprecedented.

This kind of thing, even if others want to learn it, they will definitely not be able to learn it.

But respect is all respect, Yue Fei still doesn't want to agree.

These more than 100 princes are on the battlefield with real swords and guns, and they are obviously going to enter the front-line combat troops (otherwise Li Cun would not have to look for Yue Fei), how could there be no casualties?

Yes.

Li Cun has many sons, and Li Cun may not care how many sons he died.

However, behind these princes is the Qi family.

It is no exaggeration to say that every prince is related to the prosperity of a Qi family. If he dies, the future of a Qi family may be ruined. Can those Qi families not resent Yue Fei?

So it must be an offending task.

But Yue Fei took a peek at Li Cun's steadfast expression, and Yue Fei knew that he would definitely not be able to shirk this task.

"That's all! I, Yue Fei, did it for me to work hard for my longevity, this villain!"

Thinking of this, Yue Fei no longer shied away, but shouldered the burden and said: "Officials, I have accepted this matter, and I will definitely send all the princes to fight the enemy."

After a pause, Yue Fei gave Li Cun another shot: "However, a humble minister speaks first, swords have no eyes on the battlefield, and they will not avoid the princes because of their noble status, so I ask the officials to say goodbye to the princes first, This time may be the last time the officials and many princes will meet."

Apart from giving Li Cun an inoculation, Yue Fei is actually advancing by retreating, trying to scare him off...

Of course it wasn't to scare Li Cun away.

Yue Fei knew that Li Cun, who led them to build one of the largest empires from scratch, would not be intimidated by him.

But these pampered princes who are only thirteen, fourteen, or five years old might shrink back because of his words.

Even if he was half scared, Yue Fei's pressure would be much less.

Li Cun glanced at Yue Fei, then looked at his sons, especially those who were frightened by Yue Fei's words, and said leisurely: "If Yue Aiqing doesn't mention this matter, I will tell you about it .”

After a pause, Li Cun said solemnly: "As my sons, you are born to enjoy glory and wealth forever. Even if you don't do any work, it will not affect your happiness in the slightest, because your father, Huangzhen , have already earned back all the wealth they, including your children and grandchildren, need, and you can lie down with peace of mind..."

Ten years of cold windows are not as good as three generations of business; three generations of business are not as good as ancestors carrying guns; ancestors carrying guns are not as fragrant as black hats.

Li Cun has fought for so many years and conquered a huge country. No matter how many descendants he has, he should enjoy the glory and wealth. This is what Li Cun earned for his descendants. Some transactions can be compared.

If not, why did Li Cun put his head on his belt and do this life-and-death business?

Is it just to save the poor and the world?
Sorry, Li Cunzhen does not have such a high level.

The reason why Li Cun rebelled was mainly for the sake of laying down a world for himself and his descendants.

After giving his sons some time to digest, Li Cuncai continued: "This time going to the battlefield is different from your previous training in the army. This time you will definitely go to the battlefield to fight."

Speaking of this, Li Cun's voice became heavy: "This time, there will really be people who will die in battle. As Yue Aiqing said, this may be the last side of you and my father and son."

As if worried that these princes were not scared enough, Li Cun began to describe the real battlefield: "On the battlefield, life and death are not up to people to decide, and I can't either. Whether you live or die depends entirely on God's will, with that luck It’s not good, ten thousand arrows pierce through the heart, ten thousand horses are trampled into flesh, these are common things.”

"Do you think this is the scariest thing? No. There is something more terrifying than this. That is life is worse than death. You all know that I have ordered that the royal families and clans of the two Jin Kingdoms, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Yanmu Cut to death by thousands of knives."

After a pause, Li Cun continued leisurely: "This world is fair. If you allow me to kill the royal family and clan of the Kingdom of Jin, then allow the people of Jin to kill my descendants."

Then, Li Cun introduced capital punishment:

"The so-called thousand cuts, as the name suggests, is to strip people naked, then wrap them in fishing nets, and use sharp knives to cut off the flesh strangled by the fishing nets one by one, so that the tortured people suffer the greatest pain in the world. , it took three days and three nights to die..."

Following Li Cun's narration, several of Li Cun's sons turned pale with fright.

But at this time, Li Cun's tone eased:
"Actually, being an ordinary prince with a wealthy life is also a good choice, and joining the army is not the only opportunity for you to get ahead. If you don't want to live an ordinary life, there are other ways to go..."

Seeing that Li Cun first frightened his sons to death, and then gave his sons an easy and safe retreat, Yue Fei, who was watching from the sidelines, secretly called Li Cun powerful, but also very I understand Li Cun's good intentions as a father.

That's right.

Li Cun wanted to wash away the real gold in his son.

But at the same time, Li Cun did not give up on his sons who were not too good. He also hoped that they would live well, and was willing to give them other opportunities, even giving them ordinary opportunities.

At this moment, Li Cun is not only an emperor, selecting outstanding talents for the Daqian Dynasty, but also a father, planning the future path for his sons, no matter whether they are excellent or not.

Teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

Do not abandon, do not give up.

This is Li Cun's principle.

After all the foreshadowing was done, Li Cun looked around and said with encouragement: "Now, tell me, who among you doesn't want to go to the battlefield?"

Fearing that his own sons would still not understand his painstaking efforts, Li Cun added: "Even if you choose not to go to the battlefield, you may not be unable to become my good princes. I need not only excellent soldiers, but also other industries. Excellent talents in governance, business, research and development, education, and medical care, your path is not limited to joining the army."

Li Cun's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

One of Li Cun's sons named "Li Qi" came out with his head down, and said in a low voice, "Father... father emperor, son... son is better at mental arithmetic, not... not good at fighting the enemy... ..."

Li Cun looked at his son, who seemed to be only 14 years old, and did not blame him. Instead, he stroked his hair kindly, and said with a smile, "I will report to the Ministry of Household Affairs tomorrow."

Li Qi raised his head and glanced at his father, who was actually very strange to him.

Seeing that Li Cun didn't dislike him at all, nor was he disappointed in him, Li Qi felt his father's love for the first time in his life, and then tears welled up, and then he wiped his tears and replied: "No. "

Li Cun lifted up his sleeve to help Li Qi wipe away tears, and said at the same time: "Go, I believe that you will become my pride in the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Li Qi nodded heavily when he heard the words, and then withdrew with the belief that "I must make a difference to the Ministry of Household Affairs".

With Li Qi taking the lead and Li Cun's attitude towards Li Qi, many princes who did not want to go to the battlefield were greatly encouraged.

As a result, more than [-] princes who were unwilling to go to the battlefield left in a row.

It wasn't until no prince chose to leave that Li Cun said to his remaining 80 sons: "I am proud of you, you are worthy of being my prince, and my brave and fearless blood flows in your bones!"

The remaining princes were all overjoyed when they heard what Li Cun said, and felt that their choice was right and worthwhile!
Who would have thought, Li Cun's tone changed, and he said again: "However, since you have chosen the road of joining the army, you must have the awareness to die on the battlefield. On the contrary, if the enemy knows that you are my son, I am afraid that you will die faster and end in a worse end, so if you want to walk out of the battlefield alive, it is best not to tell anyone Reveal your true identity, this is also my order to you."

Hearing Li Cun's words, one of Li Cun's sons named "Li Chu" suddenly went out to pay homage and said, "Father, my son is not afraid of death. He died for me in a horse leather shroud on the battlefield. My son thinks his death is worthy, but my son is not afraid of death." I have never had a drink with my father, so I want to have a drink with my father before going to war, if I can, I will die without regret."

Li Cun didn't tell Li Chu not to say such unlucky words, but directly asked someone to bring imperial wine, drank a glass with Li Chu, and then said to Li Chu: "Those who want to achieve great things, don't be greedy for what is in the cup, otherwise Achievements are limited.”

After thinking about it, my son is about to go to war, and it is really unreasonable for him to say such disappointing words, so Li Cun said again: "If my emperor makes great achievements and returns triumphantly, I will have a banquet and the emperor will not return until he is drunk." !"

Next, Li Cun said goodbye to his sons one by one.

Li Cun's sons also knew that they probably wouldn't come back this time, so they didn't flirt with Li Cun any more. Some entrusted Li Cun to take care of their children, and some entrusted Li Cun to take care of their mother. There are others with other wishes.

Without exception, Li Cun all agreed to the entrustment of his sons, no matter what it was.

Yue Fei saw clearly from the side that Li Cun was really serious, and these princes were all ready to die in battle.

Yue Fei couldn't help being moved, he thought to himself: "There are emperors like this, and there are such princes, why should I worry about not being able to prosper forever?!"

After Li Cun said goodbye to his sons, Li Cun sent them back to prepare for the expedition.

After Li Cun's sons had all left, Li Cun said to Yue Fei: "They are just the first batch of my sons to go to the battlefield. I have more than 1000 sons, and many of them will go to the battlefield. You are by no means the only one." Those who bring my sons to the battlefield, don't worry, as long as you can give them all the opportunity to exercise and prove themselves, even if you can't bring back even one prince, I won't blame you."

Things have developed to such a point, Li Cun said so again, Yue Fei can only say: "Don't worry, the officials, I will definitely make all the princes get enough training, and at the same time reduce the number of deaths and injuries for all the princes."

Li Cun wanted to say: "No, you just let them go to the battlefield by themselves. Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, so you don't need to give them any preferential treatment."

But when the words came to his lips, Li Cun's heart softened, and changed to: "Ai Qing, I will entrust them all to you..."
