Chapter 477 Qin Jia Tianding
Xue Rengui's thick eyebrows were deep and thoughtful for a long time. He shook his head, "Xue is stupid and doesn't understand very well."
"Let me tell you this!" Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "The Zhenguan Tang Dynasty has continued to this day, and its prosperity can be flat all over the world. After years of peace, most people just want to continue this happy life and don't want to start a knife soldier. In response to Yidi, a school of thought of 'Suijing Huairou' naturally appeared in the court, and this school gradually became the mainstream of the court. Therefore, in the past many years, the Tang Dynasty has been following the example of marrying and appeasing the chiefs of Yidi; many Yidi people have also taken the initiative to ask for marriage from the Tang Dynasty in exchange for a period of peace. But history has proved that this kind of peace policy of appeasement can't be exchanged for real peace. It's okay that my Tang Dynasty has always been strong. If one day it declines, our in-laws in the Central Plains will immediately tear up the peace treaty and turn against others, and invade me. Throughout the ages, many of our dynasties have suffered such bitter fruits.
"Xue has also been thinking that he doesn't understand why he knows that marriage can't bring real peace, and he has to send women all the time?" Xue Rengui raised his eyebrows and said a little anly, "Are those Hongru scholars and doctors who are full of poetry and books so afraid of war and death?"
"It's not such a simple question as being afraid of death." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Since Han Wu's exclusive Confucianism, the Central Plains has entered the dead cycle of human rule. In fact, Confucianism is not right or wrong, but there is nothing perfect in the world. It goes without saying that there are all kinds of benefits to the Confucian king and Taoism, otherwise the past dynasties will not follow them all. But there is also a big drawback, which is the confinement and restraint of people's thoughts. I think many ministers in the dynasty are Confucianists. Most of the loyal and patriotic ethics have done a good job, but they also have a shortcoming - a lack of 'competition'. Especially in the peaceful and prosperous Confucian scholars, words and wars must be called evil. They stick to the word "benevolence" and resolutely oppose any war, for fear that the war will break the original tranquility and destroy their rich and detailed life. To put it bluntly, the usual inertia and selfishness in human nature are making a fault - living in peace without thinking about danger. Therefore, a very huge force has been formed in our court. They have the same ideas and have reached a strong political alliance. They believe that our Tang Dynasty should continue to maintain the current prosperity and stability, avoid disputes and stay away from war - it is certainly the most cost-effective for them to send out one or two women!"
"That's not true!" Xue Rengui was a little annoyed and stared, "Then it's really time to let those ministers and scholars come and have a look on the border battlefield!" Can they avoid war if they want to? Do they only care about their own happiness, regardless of the life or death of others? Regardless of the life and death of future generations? Do these people still have any blood?!"
"This is the difference in thinking between us and them." Qin Mubai smiled helplessly and said, "It is often said that literati despise each other and cherish heroes. It's not that I look down on those scholars and Confucian scholars. They even look down on their own people. Naturally, they look down on us soldiers who are about to fight and kill at any time. In their opinion, even a stone can be influenced by Confucian royal thought. They are convinced that they can use diplomatic lips and bribes to resolve disputes and resolve wars. But it's a pity that people's desires are always escalating. At first, those women who get some money are satisfied, but gradually, the more we give, the greater their desire will be. In the end, they will fantasize - why bother with the charity of the Central Plains, and simply be the emperor of the Central Plains by themselves. Therefore, there was the garqin Mausoleum waving a sword and pointing at the Central Plains. This war seems to be accidental, but it is actually the result of the outbreak of contradictions that have been covered up by the Jing Huairou politics of our Tang Dynasty, which is jointly caused by the growing desire of Tubo. This is inevitable! Even if it doesn't break out today, it will break out in three or five years, ten or twenty years! Sooner or later, there will be a desperate battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and there is no escape!"
"I understand a little bit!" Xue Rengui nodded and said, "Your Majesty must have been aware of this for a long time, so he sent you and the marshal to Lanzhou to start operating here in preparation for today's battle?"
"Not bad!" Qin Mubai nodded with approval and said, "What if you don't say, today's saints are indeed far-sighted and ambitious? He stood taller and farther than all of us, and wanted to let go of the problem of Tubo for a long time. At this point, it may be Qin's temperament, which coincides with the emperor's idea, so we have reached a tacit understanding. However, the Huairou faction, which advocated the appeasement policy in the imperial court, has always had an overwhelming advantage, which made the emperor very difficult - he would not kill all the ministers, right? Even if it really wants to kill and change, it won't solve the problem. Maybe the new minister will change the soup without changing the medicine. Suijing Huairou has formed a huge trend of thought, which has taken root in the minds of many Confucian officials! Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor and our father and son, like thieves, secretly operated silently in Lanzhou. Finally, one day, a war broke out. My father didn't give the ministers in the court a chance to argue. He led you to kill Gaochang first... The next thing happened in turn. So it's not easy for us to get to this day, but it's not easy for us, and it's not easy for the emperor!"
"Bear by the way, I heard that the King of Wu is coming to General Kansai. This is a good thing!" Xue Rengui smiled and said, "Try to be honest, among the princes of His Majesty the Emperor, Xue only recognizes His Royal Highness the King of Wu!" He is very similar to His Majesty the Emperor. He is ambitious, open-minded and righteous. He is a person who does great things! If you send a king of Wei or the king of Jin... If Xue doesn't say anything, his heart will definitely be blocked!"
Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, "It seems that His Majesty is thousands of miles away, and he also expects the thoughts of us. It's not surprising that he is a horse emperor and knows the hearts of soldiers.
"Mu Bai, I have a sentence. I don't know if I will be blamed by you for saying it..." Xue Rengui hesitated.
"Let's chat freely in private, just say it!" Qin Mubai said with a smile.
Xue Rengui frowned and whispered, "Your Majesty suddenly transferred His Royal Highness the King of Wu from Youzhou to Lanzhou Supervision. Is it... intending to make him famous and accumulate meritorious deeds, and make him the prince of the East Palace in the future?"
Qin Mubai raised his eyebrows and his face was slightly dark, and he didn't answer.
Xue Rengui hurriedly bowed his hand and pleaded guilty, "Xue said it in vain! Xue shouldn't have asked about these things!"
"You even think of this floor, and you can imagine what the ministers in the court think in their hearts." Qin Mubai smiled lightly and said, "The emperor's move is indeed meaningful. I think it's too early to say that the emperor has the intention to make King Wu the crown prince. But if he doesn't have such an idea, it's not so absolute. I want to say that the emperor's move is like the same as he first sent my father to Lanzhou, and then sent me to Jingzhou to practice and then transfer to Lanzhou. It was a temptation and a pavement, and it may be nothing. Because now it's just that the court has sent a supervisor, not the prince. Therefore, whether to make the King of Wu the crown prince or not, don't take it seriously until it becomes a reality, and don't think about it - we are generals, and the responsibility is to fight a good war, that's all. I believe that the King of Wu will also have such an awareness. He is a supervisor, and it is enough to do this duty repeatedly. If at this moment, he is overjoyed to think that the victory is in hand, then he... will lose!"
"It's so reasonable!" Xue Rengui nodded with deep understanding.
Qin Mubai smiled and said, "The wealth is like a flowing cloud. The more you want to catch it, the more you can't catch it. Especially today's emperor is so wise, wise and decisive, such as the painstaking efforts of Changsun Wuji and the King of Wei. In the end, any struggle and operation may be futile. Therefore, I advised the king of Wu very early that it is only a big dispute if you keep a normal heart and do not fight!"
Xue Rengui grinned, "It turns out that Mu Bai has been secretly helping King Wu from the beginning!" So, Mu Bai also hopes that His Royal Highness the King of Wu will take over the Tang Dynasty? - Xue is in favor of it! If the King of Wu ascends the throne in the future, the Tang Dynasty will be more magnificent!"
Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, "Rengui, you are so straightforward!"
"It depends on who it is!" Xue Rengui smiled and said, "I won't say a word to other people for three days, you know."
After chatting here, Dantai Dandan had been waiting outside for a long time to come to see him. The two ended their conversation and called the hundred cavalry generals.
When Dantai Dandan saw Qin Mubai, his face was full of spring breeze and a smile, and he worshiped with one knee happily.
"Dandan, get up! At the beginning, I secretly sent you to send a letter to my home. It's really hard for you to travel a long time!" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Is your sister's injury healed? How's my family?
"Okay, it's all good!" Dantai Dandan stood up and said with great joy, "The last general was ordered by the mistress to report the good news to the young commander!" What a happy event!"
"Happy event? What's the happy event?" Qin Mubai and Xue Rengui asked together.
"The Wudong family gave birth to a big fat son for the young marshal!" Dantai Dandan slapped happily and smiled, "Isn't this a great happy event?"
"Ah? - Hahaha!" Qin Mubai laughed out of joy and grabbed Dandan's arms excitedly and shouted, "Has Mei Niang been born? Is the mother and son safe? Is it a son? When was it born? How old are you? How much does it weigh to be born?"
Qin Mubai was so excited that he didn't have a sense of proportion in his hands. He forgot that he was carrying two forces, and even shook Tantai Dandan, a martial arts practicer, so that he was dizzy.
Xue Rengui was also happy. Looking at Qin Mubai like this, he was also funny. He hurriedly said, "Mubai, you are going to shake up the girl's house!"
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Qin Mubai hurriedly let go of his hand, rubbed his hands and grinned excitedly, "I, I'm so happy! Dandan, tell me quickly, how is Mei Niang? My son - Qin Ying! ...Is he handsome? Does he look like me?"
Tantai Dandan was stunned directly. He didn't cry or laugh. He just said, "Well... handsome, very handsome! It's like...very similar!"
"Hahahaha, that's great! I'm a father again! It feels so good to be a father!" Qin Mubai danced excitedly in the coach's tent, and all lost the honor of a marshal.
Xue Rengui and Zhantai Dandan looked at each other and couldn't laugh or cry. Unexpectedly, they said with one voice, "For good thing, there is no outsider!"
"What's wrong with outsiders? If you become a father, no one will be happy! Even the emperor has been a father for dozens of times in his life, and he must be so happy again and again!" Qin Mubai grinned with a smile and rubbed his hands back and forth anxiously, "If only I could go back to Lanzhou to hug that stinky boy!" Well, there is also Mei Niang, if only I could see her! It's not easy for her to suffer when her son is born!"
"Young commander." Dantai Dandan said with a smile, "You are such a good man!"
"Is that right?" Qin Mubai smiled more and more proudly, and he was heartless. "That sounds fresh. Most of the women I know say that I'm a bastard, a bad guy or something.
"That's because they didn't know you at the beginning. And from my experience in the world, the more a little bad a man is, the more it can hook a woman's heart; just like the more demonic a woman is, the more it can confuse a man's heart. Dandan Dan Dan Dan said with a smile, "So I guess that any young commander-in-chief woman who has scolded like this has never escaped the young commander's hand in the end."
"Cough!" Xue Rengui coughed dryly, "It's okay, it's okay... The women Xue knows say that I'm a good person and a good person. Later, Xue knew that in their eyes, I was just a piece of wood.
Qin Mubai was stunned at first, then turned his eyes, and then stared at Dandan: "You know too much!"
