To be the emperor in a world that has been traversed into a sieve

The conversation was divided into two sides. On the other side, Liu Conghao was jumping at home, while on the other side, Ling Xiao was in a good mood, because the number one scholar who gave him an article "On the Passing of Qin Dynasty" a few days ago took it out of his mind today. An article - "Testing Method".

When he first saw the title "Testing the Method", Ling Xiao thought that Zhuangyuanlang had written another Zhang Juzheng's article silently. After he read it carefully, he realized that although the central idea of ​​the "Testing the Method" was still Zhang Juzheng's, But the rest of it is quite different. It truly seeks truth from facts and adapts to the national conditions, rather than copying it mechanically. This article should be called "Improving the Method of Examination--Dakongchao Edition".

Ling Xiao nodded in satisfaction, it seems that the number one scholar still has real talents.However, although this examination and reform is good, it needs people to implement it. The main content of this method is to rectify the administration of officials. If it is done well, it can effectively curb corruption and speed up the country's development. It is a good thing for the country and the people.But he also has disadvantages, that is, it is easy to cause centralization. This centralization seems to be a good thing, but it is not the case for Ling Xiao, because this central power is not the same as imperial power.If power is compared to a piece of cake, the cake is only that big, if the central government takes more, the emperor will take less, and if the central government has more power, the imperial power will be weakened.

Although the power of the central government is worrying, it is not a big deal for Ling Xiao. After all, although the imperial court says that all kinds of ideas are flourishing, it is actually his voice, and no one dares to challenge his authority.What he is thinking about now is who will do this test method.

If the examination method is done well, it is the job of leaving a name in history. Ling Xiao was able to persuade some old Confucians who had retired at the age of 80 or [-] to re-enter the WTO because of this name, so this time the examination method must be Count the old Confucian group, but it is not enough to have only the old Confucianism. Ling Xiao, who has been the emperor for many years, knows how to check and balance. With the old Confucianism, he will get some fresh blood. Some conciliatory agent must be plugged in between the two parties, so that this bill can be implemented smoothly.

With a swipe of Ling Xiao's pen, the proposal for the examination was finalized. He put this book aside and picked up another one. Unlike the previous ones, this book was not about court but It's a frontier fortress, and this is a invitation to fight.What this post says is also simple, and it can be summed up in only eight words: "If the Yi people are in civil strife, they will win if they fight!" '

Ling Xiao read one side carefully, he adjusted the tip of the pen, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It was late at night, the oil lamp was dim, and the young and handsome emperor made a casual stroke, and the future of the entire Yi people was decided.

Holding the booklet, Ling Xiao motioned for Ye Fuming to come over. As he walked towards the dragon bed, he said, "You've been with me for more than six years, right?"

"It's been 7 years." Ye Fuming took off Ling Xiao's jacket, revealing the underwear and a small part of his fair chest. His eyes seemed to slip across the chest inadvertently, and then and again. .

Ling Xiao suddenly realized that it had been so long, he sighed slightly, and asked, "Do you still remember the battle of Linyang back then?" Linyang is a small place, an unknown small town on the northern frontier, if The bones of the [-] troops were buried here, and no one would have known that there was such a place in the north.

Ye Fuming was stunned for a moment, and held the clothes in his hands tightly until his knuckles turned white. He seemed to have returned to the north seven years ago. However, the general has already been buried in another country; his father's eyes that cannot rest in peace, and the mutilated body of his own soldiers, this war is the scar of the Dakong Dynasty, and it is the eternal shame of the Ye family.His eyes were red, and he said word by word: "The hatred of the country and the family will never be forgotten."

Ling Xiao handed the folder in his hand to Ye Fuming, and he calmly looked at the man's increasingly ferocious face. Ye Fuming fell to his knees with a plop, his eyes red.Ling Xiao looked at him clearly, and before Ye Fuming could speak, he said, "Sure."

In the second hall, Ling Xiao first announced the test method. In the midst of the controversy, the test method was decided, and some other things were discussed in the court. After everyone wanted to report the matter, the court There was a brief silence.

The ministers were a little puzzled, as usual, at this time, it was time for the emperor to announce his resignation, and they were about to start their day's work. Looking at the current state of the emperor, it seems that there is something else to say?

Ling Xiao looked at the confused expressions on the faces of the people below. He handed the memorial to Xiao Dezi who was beside him. Xiao Dezi took it respectfully and began to read it aloud: "March [-]th..."

Following Xiao Dezi's words, small voices gradually appeared in the hall.Normally, this kind of situation would not happen, but it is enough to prove how much impact this memorial had on them. The small discussions among the people became louder and louder, reaching its peak the moment Xiao Dezi finished reading the memorial.

Looking at the heated discussions among the crowd, Ling Xiao coughed, which is strange to say, because of the coughing, all the noisy officials just now quieted down, but although they were quiet, all of them had ruddy complexions and beamed with joy.

Ling Xiao looked at the reactions of the people below with satisfaction, and said, "I want to send [-] troops to support the north, what do you guys think?"

The people below were stunned, and a courtier came out and said, "Your Majesty, there are 5 garrisons at Lin'an Pass. Isn't this 5 troops a little too much? Besides, the Yi people are in civil strife. In fact, the [-] garrisons are enough to repel them." gone."

Ling Xiao glanced at the courtier and said, "Repel? What I want is not to drive the Yi people back to the north. What I want is the fertile fields thousands of miles away in the north! What I want is for the Yi people to disappear from this world!"

Everyone looked at each other, knowing that Ling Xiao's mind had been made up, they all bowed deeply, and said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!"

There was a lot of response, but that's all.

Chapter 17

The next thing is to discuss the matter of dispatching troops. The team that Ling Xiao has cultivated for seven years has shown extreme efficiency at this time. Except for the small waves caused by Ling Xiao's arrangement of Ye Fuming to lead troops to support, everything else is very smooth. It was arranged.

Well, not small waves, but huge waves.Ling Xiao shook his head as he looked at the opposition memorials that were about to pile up into a hill.

He sent Ye Fuming there for a reason. First of all, although Ye Fuming was young, he grew up in the northern frontier. Before he became Ling Xiao's bodyguard, he had been living in the north with his father, and his father was At that time, the well-known Silver Spear General, as the saying goes, a tiger father has no dogs, Ye Fuming's ability can also be seen.Secondly, it is Ye Fuming's uncle who is currently guarding the Northland, and most of his subordinates are the old members of the Ye family who survived the war or descendants of the old members. If it was Ye Fuming, who they jokingly called General Ye easy to accept.Finally, and most importantly, Ye Fuming is still in charge of the Sharpshooter Battalion.

The 5000-strong sharpshooter battalion has extraordinary capabilities in a world where the military strength is roughly equivalent to that of the Tang Dynasty. This establishment should have appeared hundreds of years later, but it was brought forward because of Ling Xiao and a group of traversers. Appeared in Dakong Dynasty.Although this establishment is only 5000 people, this power is used well, but it is enough to control the situation of the battle.

If technology is only 20 years ahead, then you can change it with your personal heroes. If you can be [-] years ahead, you can barely use excellent tactics and command to contend. Lack of skills, this is absolute power, absolute suppression, this is the power of technology.

What's more, in this era of superstition, a weapon that can breathe fire and kill people thousands of miles away is enough to make those Yi people who are superstitious about gods doubt their own lives.

Those ministers also understood these words, and the reason why they still wrote the letter was just because they hoped to benefit from this war.

Ling Xiao naturally understands what those ministers are thinking, but he doesn't intend to talk to them. If this is an ordinary small battle, he doesn't mind letting those ministers gain some strength from it. He can even arrange a nominal position without rights for them to offer He doesn't mind other people's gold plating, as long as it doesn't affect the war. He knows that horses have no night grass and are not fat. He wants the horse to run well, so how can it be done without giving more grass.

But not this time, this battle is too important, so important that he does not allow the slightest mistake.

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the man with an indifferent face over there, and said, "Ye Shiwei, are you going to start recruiting troops tomorrow?"

Ye Fuming looked at Ling Xiao, there was no indifference on his soft face, he nodded: "Your Majesty, I won't see you for a long time after tomorrow, you have to take good care of yourself."

Ling Xiao pretended to be relaxed and smiled, and he said: "If it goes well, you may be able to come back soon, maybe they will surrender the whole country as soon as the Sharpshooter Battalion comes out." Having said that, the danger of this battle He knew it, let's not talk about anything else, it is a big problem to go deep into the north for thousands of miles.

Ling Xiao withdrew his thoughts, and turned his gaze to the man in front of him.He took a step forward and gave the man a tight hug. He put his head on Ye Fuming's shoulder and said in a low voice, "I don't ask you to fight well, or even win, I ask you only one."

Ling Xiao tightened his arms and said in a deep voice, "Come back alive!"

The warm spring sun shines on the faces of the soldiers. They are about to go to the distant frontier. After this battle, I don't know how many loyal souls will be buried in other places.

Han Shangqing patted Ye Fuming on the shoulder fiercely. Although they were rivals in love, they were also friends. He whispered: "If you die in the north, Ling Xiao will be mine alone! If you come back late, Ling Xiao is mine alone!" After finishing speaking, he said again: "Although Ling Xiao is mine anyway, I guess you won't be reconciled if you don't fight for it. So, you won't die in the It's Lin'an Customs."

"Naturally." Ye Fuming nodded slightly, his eyes slid towards Ling Xiao who was standing in the distance, the words from last night were still echoing in his ears, looking at the blurred figure due to the distance, Ye Fuming showed a shallow smile

Ling Xiao stood on the tower, with the wind howling and the battle flag fluttering in the wind. He didn't look at Ye Fuming, but as if responding to Ye Fuming, he said softly: "I must, come back..."
