Chapter 482 A father’s advice to his son (please vote for me!)
...
On the first day of June in the 25th year of Hongwu, a piece of bad news came.
General Lu, the prime minister of the Daqian Dynasty, who had devoted himself to the Daqian Dynasty for nearly 27 years, suddenly died of a sudden illness at the age of 59.
When Li Cun learned about this, he cried bitterly for the loss of Yi Yin and Guan Zhong. Later, he ordered Lu to be buried with a state funeral and posthumously named Lu Wei the King of Guangde County, becoming the first king with a different surname in the Daqian Dynasty.
After General Lu's death, who would succeed General Lu as the second prime minister of the Daqian Dynasty, the largest dynasty in history, became a hot topic.
Some ambitious people also began to run around looking for connections, hoping to seek higher positions, or even seek the position of prime minister.
However, Li Cun did not let the position of prime minister hang for too long, so he appointed Chen Kangbo, an official in the East Palace and Li Biao's number one adviser, to temporarily act as prime minister.
Immediately afterwards, Li Cun secretly transferred Chen Tuan back to the central government and succeeded Zhang Shi as the privy envoy.
After that, Li Cun made a series of personnel transfers in the Daqian Dynasty at lightning speed.
After this transfer, Prince Li Biao won a great victory.
The latest leadership team of the Daqian Dynasty was not only made up of officials from the Eastern Palace and people who supported Li Biao's rule, but many of the positions of chief ministers were also occupied by officials from the Eastern Palace and people who supported Li Biao's rule.
Of course, Li Cun certainly did not move those capable ministers, such as Li Gang, Zhao Ding, Li Guang, Hu Quan, Yu Yunwen, Yuwen Huangzhong, Han Qixian, Gao Qingyi, Yelu Lu, etc., and kept them all for Li Biao.
Li Cun just transferred some dangerous people, ambitious people, and people who like to engage in party disputes to his palace to serve as his palace officials. He said that he was used to them and couldn't do without them. In fact, it was because he was used to them and couldn't live without them. I don’t want this group of people to disrupt the Daqian Dynasty, which has great prospects.
Through this major blood change, Li Cun wiped out all the party strife that had just emerged in the Daqian Dynasty, that is, some meritorious groups and some literati groups, leaving only those officials who were willing to do practical things.
At this time, everyone understood that although Li Cun had not been in charge of government affairs for more than ten years and was only busy expanding the territory, in fact, Li Cun still knew everything about the Daqian Dynasty.
Moreover, Li Cun removed all the hidden dangers of the Daqian Dynasty with a casual move, leaving the prince Li Biao with an iron-barrel-like dynasty that could fully display his powers without any constraints.
Many people who were still worried that the party struggle would destroy the Daqian Dynasty now lamented: "Your Majesty is still the same Majesty, with wise and prudent strategies, no strategy left behind, no military deeds left behind, a great cause set in stone, and passed on to his descendants. Whoops. , so majestic!”
At the same time, everyone knew that Li Cun would personally conquer the Western Regions in the autumn, and continue to eliminate hidden dangers and expand territory for the Daqian Dynasty.
To this-
Some people think that the territory of the Daqian Dynasty is already so large and so powerful that no one dares to provoke it. All the countries in the Western Regions have taken the initiative to send envoys to express their willingness to call the Daqian Dynasty a vassal, so why should they do it again? Use force against the countries in the Western Regions?Is Li Cun too militaristic?
However, some people say that the Turks, Huns, and Uighurs in the Western Regions have always invaded the Central Plains Dynasty as long as they became stronger. Now that the Daqian Dynasty is unprecedentedly powerful, of course it must be eradicated and not give these fierce Hu people any chance to make a comeback. .
There are also some people who say that it is unnecessary to waste people and money to attack the countries in the Western Regions. The Daqian Dynasty can use political means, economic means, diplomatic means, etc. to solve the countries in the Western Regions.
In short, there is nothing to say.
But this time Li Cun did not listen to any different opinions and insisted on conquering the army himself.
Before setting off, Li Cun called Li Biao over to give him some final instruction.
Only Li Cun and Li Biao, father and son, were in the Yangxin Palace.
Li Cun said bluntly: "This time I will take away 50 troops mainly from ethnic minorities. You should not cut down the troops I left behind. From now on, I will maintain this number of troops in my homeland."
Afraid that Li Biao, who had been thinking about disarmament, would disarmament again after he left, causing a mess that was difficult to clean up. Li Cun said with great seriousness: "My son, please remember, if you blindly value culture over military affairs and do not pay attention to national defense, The Daqian Dynasty, at least you yourself, will definitely be destroyed!"
When Li Biao heard this, his pupils shrank, and he thought to himself: "Is it so serious?"
Li Cun seemed to be able to see through Li Biao's meaning and replied: "What is force? Force is the lock that I work on. Do you only value the economy and development? This won't work. Without the lock of force, thieves and robbers will enter." If I work hard and plunder, the better you develop the economy, the greater the possibility that my work will be invaded."
Having said this, Li Cun leisurely reminded Li Biao: "Zhao Song is a lesson learned from the past!"
Hearing what Li Cun said, Li Biao's heart suddenly froze.
Li Cun directly pointed out Li Biao's luck: "Don't think that if I conquer everything around me, Daqian will have eternal peace. This is absolutely impossible. Don't forget, I will also enfeoff many vassal states. If you don't Enough force will not guarantee that your brothers will not hit you, and don't forget how I started. Fortresses are often breached from the inside, so you must have force that can deal with any unexpected situation."
Only then did Li Biao realize that he had thought wrong before. The smaller the army, the better. The world would never be peaceful and without war. He almost made a big mistake.
Seeing that Li Biao finally realized the horror of not paying attention to military construction, Li Cun regained his momentum slightly, and then while stroking the dragon chair under his buttocks, he said: "Everything has come too easily for you. You don't even know this. How magical is a chair? There are so many people who long to sit on this chair that represents the supreme power. In order to achieve their wish, there is nothing they can't do except what you can't think of. Brother kills brother, A son kills his father, a minister rebels against the king..."
Li Cun looked at Li Biaopi and said with a smile: "Do you believe it, if you lose your absolute power, something like this might happen to you in the future?"
Li Cun's words made Li Biao sweat profusely!
Li Biao, who was familiar with history books, knew that his father's words were by no means alarmist.
There are really too many such examples throughout the ages.
Let’s not talk about the distant ones, let’s talk about the Zhao and Song dynasties that were destroyed by the Daqian dynasty.
Zhao Ji lost the protection of force and was placed under house arrest by Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan lost his military protection, and Zhao Gou held 10,000+ troops. He watched Bianliang City in Tokyo be attacked by Qian's army, and Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, and all the royal family and clan members of the Zhao and Song Dynasties were captured.
There was also the Anshi Rebellion period, which was similar to the situation at the end of the Song Dynasty.
Li Longji lost the protection of force, so Li Heng put Li Longji under house arrest until Li Longji died.
Li Biao could easily grab a lot of such examples.
From this moment on, Li Biao made up his mind that he could no longer reduce the number of local troops of the Daqian Dynasty. With such a large land area, the Daqian Dynasty had only 200 million troops, which was not much. There was no need for him to be smart. Without tampering with his father's deployment, no, he would also actively develop the military on this basis.
Seeing that Li Biao fully understood the importance of the army, Li Cun added: "The Liu Qi, Wu Lin, Su Dong, Yang Yizhong, Li Xianzhong, Wang Zhen and others I left for you are all trustworthy and capable of fighting. General, although Zhao Han'er, Kong Lengzi, Er Zhuangzi and others are less capable, they are more loyal and loyal. They can be absolutely trusted at any time. Have you written it down?"
Li Biao knew that his father was worried. His father had taken them all away this time, and everything left to him must be fine.
The key point is that his father has never been inaccurate in his judgment of people in his life, and he has always been famous all over the world for his knowledge of people.
Therefore, Li Biao didn't act smart anymore and responded: "I have taken note of it, and I will use him again." Li Cun nodded, and then said: "The general is only one aspect. You must remember that before I join the army, I will use him again." Therefore, the execution of orders and prohibitions, the invincibility of battles, and the invincibility of all attacks are all due to the military supervision system. Therefore, you must pay attention to the military supervision system. I might as well tell you straightforwardly that as long as there is a complete and trustworthy military supervision system to command the cadres, the army will be able to do anything. The army will not be in chaos."
Li Biao, who had been in the army for two years and was also responsible for supervising the army, knew this very well.
Therefore, without saying anything, Li Biao nodded and said, "I will keep this in mind."
After explaining the most important thing about the army, Li Cun said: "My son must remember that if he is neither deaf nor blind, he is not worthy of being in charge. If you use people to their advantage, there will be no need for them in the world. If you use people to their shortcomings, there will be no one in the world." When you use people, you must use their strengths and tolerate their shortcomings. Therefore, you must never be like before, and you can't tolerate any mistakes."
If it were ten years ago, Li Biao would definitely doubt his father's view, because at that time he really couldn't tolerate the slightest fault from others.
But now Li Biao can't.
After obtaining the Wude Division, Li Biao realized that many ministers who were flawless in his eyes were actually corrupt officials, took bribes, formed cliques for personal gains, and were even treacherous ministers who were corrupted by their reputations.
Of course, it cannot be said that there were no moral people among the officials of the Daqian Dynasty.
But generally speaking, there are still many people who have problems.
The key is that those officials with high moral standards do not mean they are capable officials.
Moreover, sometimes, if some officials want to do things, they will definitely make mistakes. Only officials who do not do things will not make mistakes.
Therefore, the smart approach is to be like his father who understands everything, but as long as these people do not go too far and are beneficial to the development of the Daqian Dynasty, they can keep them until the need arises. .
There is a saying that if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are careful, there will be no disciples. If you are too harsh on others, no one may be willing to work for you.
Li Biao had this problem before.
On the other hand, his father, whether he was a loyal minister or a treacherous minister, never missed his father's good deeds. Even if one day those corrupt officials had their families confiscated and their families were confiscated, they would not blame his father. They would only think that it was themselves. They went too far and ended up like this. Some even before they died, they would be grateful to their father for pardoning one or two people in their family. They would even take the initiative to say that it was because they were not strong enough. He made many mistakes and betrayed his father's trust.
The key is that it was his father who dealt with these people.
As a result, all the money these people worked so hard for and embezzled went into the treasury and his father's pockets, not to mention that his father also gained a good reputation for benevolence and nostalgia.
In this regard, Li Biao felt that he could really learn from his father.
Therefore, Li Biao said sincerely: "My son understands, it is rare to be confused."
Li Cun nodded and added: "But you must remember that once you take action, you must hit the snake seven inches with lightning speed. Don't give these people any chance to fight back, otherwise there is no guarantee that they will not stand up." Take risks.”
Li Biao nodded deeply in agreement: "I know the powerful relationship between this!"
Li Biao is now 27, no longer a child, and he has been in charge of the Daqian Dynasty for many years. Li Cun believes that he should be able to handle these things, otherwise Li Cun will not leave with peace of mind.
But there are some things that Li Cun still has to explain to Li Biao:
"My son, do you know why there were so many talented people in Shu Han when Liu Bei was there, but after Liu Bei's death, Shu Han was reduced to the point where 'there are no generals in Shu, and Liao Hua is the vanguard'?"
"This……"
Li Biao bowed and said, "Father, please make it clear."
Li Cun did not hide it, and said bluntly: "In terms of personal ability, whether it is to lead troops to fight or govern the country, Liu Bei is not as good as Zhuge Liang. But precisely because of this, under the rule of Liu Bei who is unable to do anything, The civil servants and generals of the Shu Han Dynasty all had the opportunity to display their talents. However, under the rule of Zhuge Liang, who was capable of everything, the civil servants and generals of the Shu Han Dynasty were unable to express their ambitions. As a last resort, those talented people could only go to other countries or escape from the world. Not coming out.”
At this point, Li Cun said what he really wanted to say: "I am not a small country in the Shu Han Dynasty. If my son imitates Zhuge Liang, even if my son dies from exhaustion, I am afraid he will not be able to govern me well. My son will not be able to govern me well." We should learn from Liu Bei so that our great cadres can make full use of their talents."
Li Biao felt that his father's words made sense, but he really couldn't let him go completely.
Li Biao thought to himself: "I'll try to find a balance between them."
As for Li Biao, he agreed as always: "If I know this, I will definitely give my talents an opportunity to demonstrate their political ambitions."
After saying that, Li Biao added in his mind: "I will personally monitor whether they are doing well or not. There should be no problem, right?"
With Li Biao's guarantee and Chen Miaozhen giving Li Biao the Shiquan Dabu Decoction to recuperate his body, Li Cun estimated that Li Biao would not exhaust himself to death like Yong Zheng did in history.
At this time, Li Cun regained all his momentum and said: "Those things before were all things that an emperor told a prince. Now I will tell you some things that a father told his son. My son must remember it and must follow it."
Seeing that his father didn't even say "I", Li Biao knew how important what his father said next was.
Li Biao quickly responded: "Father, please tell me directly, and I will definitely obey."
"My son, please remember to be careful of everyone around you, including all your close associates, even concubines. Don't trust any of them, and be wary of everyone at any time and at any time."
"You must not conspire or talk with anyone in the ears of others, but remember that when you are discussing secretly, you must beware of the other person's violence, no matter who he is, and your personal guards cannot leave you ten feet away. "
"Always pay attention to the sounds in the market and judge in advance whether something dangerous has happened."
"Always memorize at least three escape routes. If you encounter a crisis, choose one of them and escape."
"Normally in the palace, you must carefully judge the safety of the surroundings. You must not take it lightly. You must be prepared for danger in times of peace."
"Also, keep several fast horses at each palace gate, and prepare several sets of saddle guns around the city gate. Once you judge that the situation is not good, you must immediately flee to a safe place. Never hesitate. , your life may be at risk."
"Don't drink alcohol at ordinary times, and eat less in the afternoon..."
After hearing his father's heartfelt advice, Li Biao finally understood why the emperor was said to be a loner.
At the same time, Li Biao fully confirmed that his father, who had even told him such things, was really preparing to pass on the Daqian Dynasty, the largest power in history, to him, and he was really more concerned about his personal safety. , instead of being more concerned about the safety of the country and the country of the Daqian Dynasty.
At this moment, Li Biao felt that he was the greatest luck to have such a father, and he was moved to tears.
But it was precisely because of this that Li Biao secretly swore in his heart: "I must manage the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers passed down by my father, and then help my father to pass on these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers..."
