Chapter 316 Our Xiaoru, Zhu Di? !
Fang Xiaoru smiled faintly, cupped his hands with a happy expression and said: "Your Majesty is both civil and military, and it is precisely because of this that your Majesty is a saint today."
Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "That's not the case in Gu. I think no one in the world knows what your Majesty is like. He was born in a commoner family and had no chance to study when he was young. It is a fact that he has both civil and military skills now. This is more a matter of acquired hard work."
"So in isolation. It seems that both writing and martial arts are learned.”
"Before the Song Dynasty, there was no separation between civil and military families. The civil servants could go into battle to kill the enemy, and the military could rule the country and bring peace to the country."
"If I remember correctly, what scholars at that time respected was that literary scholars could bring peace to the world with their pens. Martial arts can determine the world."
"The general and the general are one."
"It's just that many people now only learn literature, while some people only learn martial arts, and then there is a distinction. , This may not be a retrogression of scholars. Since both civil and military affairs can be learned, then maybe it is not that difficult to let the scholars who go to the military camp read some military books and art of war, and let some warriors read more "Four Books and Five Classics". ”
Zhu Biao expressed his thoughts.
He actually doesn't want to see the separation of civil and military affairs.
But this trend is very obvious in the court, especially Lan Yu, who is very rude to these literati, beating and scolding them at every turn, and the literati also point fingers at the warriors, secretly impeaching countless people, even if Even my father was secretly having a headache because of this.
I heard Xia Zhibai talk about rectifying military discipline earlier.
He then thought about whether he could use this to eliminate the rift between the civil and military factions so that the civil and military factions could live in peace. At least there would be no need to be so rigid. The Ming Dynasty needed civilians to govern the country, but it also needed military personnel to protect the country. , the two should complement each other.
Hear the words.
Fang Xiaoru's face darkened, and he quickly said: "Your Highness, not allowed."
Fang Xiaoru glanced at Liu Sanwu a few times, cupped his hands and said, "I have said some inappropriate words, please forgive me."
>"Say!"
Fang Xiaoru said: "Before the Song Dynasty, it was true that the civil and military families were not separated, but because of this, these people posed a great threat to the court. The general trend of separating the civil and military families seemed to be the result of the separation of civil and military families. Mutual choice, but it may not be dictated by the current situation. "
"The world does not need such an almighty minister."
"This type of person is highly talented and must be arrogant. Once they reach a high position, they will easily develop dissent. Most of the rebels in the past dynasties have been like this. Hu Weiyong, for example, is pretentious, even if he is already the prime minister. position, but still feel that he is not satisfied, so he has the desire to rebel."
"This is only true for a mere scholar."
"How about being both civil and military?" Since the Song Dynasty, the number of rebellious ministers and traitors has been greatly reduced, and the division of labor between civil and military officials has greatly improved the efficiency of ministers and reduced distractions. This has led to the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. If the literati of the Song Dynasty wanted to study literature as well as With so much focus on political affairs, how much trouble can you solve for the country? "
"Moreover.
"Nowadays, political affairs are complex, ministers have limited energy, and the division of labor is becoming more and more detailed, requiring more and more experience."
"So the separation of civil and military affairs is the most appropriate."
Zhu Biao nod.
He actually agreed with what Fang Xiaoru said.
But since there is a division of labor, why can't the civil and military divisions be further subdivided?
Wouldn't it be more important to divide civil and military affairs into 'Wenwen', 'Wenwu', 'Wuwen', and 'Wuwu', full-time civil affairs, full-time military, as well as civilian officials serving in the army and military attachés serving in the court? Reasonable.
But Zhu Biao also saw it, and Fang Xiaoru was very resistant to it, so Zhu Biao didn't say much about it.
He smiled and said: "What Mr. Fang said is absolutely true."
"It's so simple."
"My Ming Dynasty implements a small government. There are not many officials, and the requirements for each official are very high. How can we ask for more?”
"Your Highness has a clear vision." Fang Xiaoru said quickly.
Zhu Biao added: "Let's not talk about arranging civilian officials in the army for now, but military discipline must be maintained, and publicity and education are always the affairs of civilian officials, so it is inevitable that civilian officials should be responsible. Let me ask you, if Ruogu sends you to Peiping, do you have the confidence to enforce military discipline under King Yan?" Fang Xiaoru's expression suddenly changed.
He glanced at Zhu Biao uncertainly, trying to see whether it was Zhu Biao's unintentional words or whether he really had this idea.
If it was just an unintentional remark, that would be fine.
If you really have this idea, then something serious will happen.
The King of Yan, Zhu Di, has always had a bad temper, and he has never looked down upon the literati. He often beat and scolded him. Moreover, Zhu Di was very protective of his subordinates. Under Zhu Di, it was almost impossible to enforce strict military discipline. It's impossible, because you can't pass Zhu Di's test.
To go to Peking is almost to die!
Fang Xiaoru hesitated for a while and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid I can't do it."
"Why?" Zhu Biao said with a half-smile but not a smile: "The bachelor was so confident before, why is he so confident now? Lost your confidence? Gu’s fourth brother does have a bad reputation, but after all, he has studied at Dabentang for several years. According to you, he deserves the title of ‘literary’. Why not?”
Fang Xiaoru said: "How can King Yan be compared with ordinary generals?"
"That is His Majesty's son."
"I come to study knowledge, but I am really not good at it."
"Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Fang Xiaoru bowed his head immediately. He stayed well in Yingtian Mansion and did not want to go to Peiping. Moreover, he did not have a good look at King Yan. If he was not born into an emperor, At home, King Yan’s temperament is not worthy of a high look at all.
Zhu Biao smiled: "Things are indeed a bit difficult to handle, but no matter how difficult it is, someone has to handle it."
"You can't just pick and choose when things happen."
"Besides. "
" Gu still has confidence in his younger brothers. They are all measured people. As long as the civil servants are in good hands, Gu believes that these younger brothers will be willing to cooperate. "
Liu Sanwu's eyelids. One jump.
He no longer dared to speak casually.
I even felt a chill on my back.
Zhu Biao actually wanted to assign them to the major vassal kings to enforce strict military discipline for the court. Isn't this pushing them into a pit of fire? Not to mention whether it can be done, even if it can be done, the skin will still have to be peeled off before death, and it is very likely that it cannot be done.
If you want to enforce strict military discipline, you must take action against the soldiers.
How could these feudal kings be willing?
Conflicts would inevitably break out, and they, the civilian officials, were alone, and it would be difficult for them to get out of the military camp alive.
Liu Sanwu glanced at Fang Xiaoru, who had an extremely ugly face, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes. Fang Xiaoru had dominated the limelight before, but now he was also embarrassed, and no matter what Zhu Biao thought, he would not Arrange for him to go.
He is an old man in his seventies, so he is naturally incompetent.
Think of this.
Liu Sanwu stood aside and watched Fang Xiaoru’s joke.
Fang Xiaoru's face was as dark as ink.
He shook his head again and refused: "Your Highness, it's better not to scare me. I really can't bear it. I have been serving in the Hanlin Academy and I don't know much about military matters. Let me go. It will only do bad things. How dare I miss your Highness’s important affairs?”
“Please find someone else to do, and don’t make fun of this matter.”
“I am scared.”
