General Essence Sticky Essence

Of course He Yun refused, turned around and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, as soon as the manufacturing blueprints come out, it will be a batch of projects. There are all kinds of munitions and warships, and the cost can be imagined. If the treasury was used for setting up altars before , where will the funds come from?

The minister knows that granting the mandate of heaven can stabilize the hearts of the people, but there is more than one way to stabilize the hearts of the people. A strong army is the most direct and effective way.Outsiders dare not take half a step into the Wei Dynasty. The people live in peace and their minds are settled, so why do they need to rely on gods? "

Some people asked: "Did the general think too seriously about the improvement of arms? Our military strength has always been strong, and the surrounding countries are far behind. gone?"

He Yun turned his head and glanced at him, seeing that it was a civil servant, he said:

"Your Excellency, you have stayed in the temple for a long time. Have you narrowed your horizons? You know that Wei's army is strong. Let me ask you, if Rizhao's warships can travel from the southernmost point to the Bohai Sea, can the Great Wei's warships do it? Rizhao's Firearms can fly into the sky to bomb and can travel underwater. Does Wei have such firearms?

Do you know that this victory was won by the flesh and blood of many people?If the military is improved, how many sergeants will be spared from sacrifice, have you ever thought about it? "

The civil servant was momentarily at a loss for words, and retreated.

"Having said that, the people inside and outside the city are now in fear. How long does it take to improve military weapons? Do you just let the people worry day and night?"

He Yun raised his voice a bit: "My lord, tell me, what do you want to do?"

The man continued: "Before now, we have already discussed in the court hall. As soon as the general comes back, he will change the decision that the adults and His Majesty have discussed together. Isn't it too rude? Besides, Your Majesty said to find Good technicians set up altars at the same time, but the generals press hard and refuse to give in, what's the reason?"

"As I said, the treasury is not enough..."

"Congratulations, General," Gongyi Yu interjected, "The general and all the ministers are thinking about the great Wei, so why bother to fight? Besides, it is wrong for the general to blaspheme the gods."

I'm... on edge? ?Blasphemy? ?

Su Xiang finally took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with the general that sacrificial ritual is a necessary ritual, but it is by no means the key to rejuvenating the country, and the prosperity of the country and the people's safety are definitely not something that can be achieved by the mercy of heaven and earth. If we have to compare, it should be that the military strength is stronger. Because it matters."

He Yun suddenly felt relieved, it was Su Xiang who spoke nicely.

The emperor said: "Then follow the general's advice and search for technicians first. We will discuss the rest later."

After discussing this matter, the morning court was over, He Yun raised his foot and was about to leave, but saw Su Xiang standing where he was, looking at him.Turning around and smiling at Su Xiang, He Yun asked: "Su Xiang has something to do with me?"

Su walked out of the hall side by side with He Yun, found a corner, and said: "The general's remonstrance is justified, but the words can be more tactful."

He Yun knew what Su Xiang meant, and he also knew that his tone was a bit tough just now, and he refuted the face of the emperor and the ministers.He bowed slightly to Su Xiang: "Presumably Su Xiang must have said a lot of good things for me, thank you in advance."

Su Xiang helped him up, and said: "General, you are being polite, I really didn't say anything."

"If it wasn't for Prime Minister Su, I'm afraid I would have been held accountable by now."

"The general really misunderstood. The general was not held accountable, not because of the truth."

He Yun stared at Su Xiang: "...Why is that?"

"My lord is in prison right now."

really.

Su Xiang continued: "The general and the lord are good friends, and everyone knows it. It's just that the identities are different now, and the balance between them depends on the two of them. I shouldn't say too much about the truth, but I have to warn the general, Human hearts are complicated, so you have to be careful."

He Yun said: "I regard Su Xiang as an elder, and I do have questions that I can't solve, and I want to ask Su Xiang for advice."

"Excuse me, General."

"Being honest and upright, after all, can't be worth a sentence of complicated people?"

Su Xiang looked a little hesitant, sighed slightly and said, "That's true."

He Yun smiled and said, "What if I don't believe it?"

"The general doesn't believe it, but the truth can't be told for a while, it's worry or joy."

"Why?"

"What is worrying is that the people's hearts are complex, and what is happy is that the general's heart is so precious. Then it is like this. I explained to the general that it is only a suggestion from the elders, and the general can make his own judgment."

He Yun nodded and said, "All ears."

"The truth knows a little about the general's personality. When the general took office, he was controversial, but he never made an excuse. It only took less than two years to block Yoyo's mouth with actions. This is the truth. A place to admire the general."

He Yun said: "It's not that I talk less, I really don't care."

Su Xiang smiled and said: "At that time, the general thought it didn't matter, and he could prove himself only with military merit. But now people frame the general in a different direction, they can't attack the general's ability, they can only target the general's heart."

He Yun's smile faded, and he asked, "What's your heart?"

"Loyalty and treachery. If the general is loyal, it will be a blessing to Wei; if he is treacherous, it will be a disaster to Wei. The same principle can also be applied to the prince, all because you have a lot of troops in your hands, and your skills are too great."

"How do you defend loyalty and treachery?"

"Long talk."

"It doesn't make sense."

"It's unreasonable. From the truth, both the general and the prince are loyal. But this matter can't help but depend on the truth, and it depends on your majesty. The general thinks carefully, how many people have supported their own self-respect since ancient times? Why do you ask your majesty to be unconditional?" Trust the general?"

He Yun felt a little pricked and couldn't speak.

"The imperial edict intends to target the prince and the general. All the ministers and your majesty can see it, but your majesty does not stop it. This is because the imperial edict is under the banner of considering your majesty, and what he worries about is the same as your majesty's. It’s the same, it’s all because they are afraid that the two masters will be overwhelmed by great achievements. And when the two are overcoming obstacles on the battlefield, the officials can list countless crimes, all of which are fussy and want to add crimes, does the general understand why?”

He Yun shook his head.

Su Xiangdao: "Firstly, they are jealous. In layman's terms, they don't like people. Secondly, people seek benefits and avoid disadvantages. They understand His Majesty's worries. At this time, helping is harming and trampling is benefiting."

He Yun smiled bitterly and said, "I can't refute what Prime Minister Su said."

"The prince went to the palace to plead guilty to His Majesty, and took the initiative to go to the prison. This is to give in to His Majesty. Just now, the general asked the general to be more tactful. Don't refute the monarch's face. He is also worried that someone with a heart will make a fuss and say that the general takes credit for himself. As for How close the Gold and Silver Tiger Talisman is, we don’t talk much about the truth. So far, the words are out of proportion, the general thinks about it on his own, so the truth will go back home first.”

He Yun bowed and said, "I am very grateful."

Even though his heart was in a mess, He Yun went to the Central Army camp first.Huang Yu and Lu Chuan were both training soldiers. When they heard that He Yun was coming, they greeted them one by one.

"Long time no see, General! It's really hard work!"

He Yun said: "The two lieutenants have also worked hard."

The three of them walked in together, and He Yun asked, "How about the recruiting recently?"

Huang Yu replied: "It's in progress, the recruiting is going smoothly, but there is only one problem."

He Yun stopped in his tracks: "What's the problem?"

Huang Yu said: "The supplies in the army are insufficient. Some time ago, the Wujia Army spent a lot of supplies when stationed in the north and south, and lost a lot of military equipment in the war. After Rizhao retired, General Mo and Lao Lu went to the court to reflect, but so far there is still a lot of supplies. Not deployed."

Lu Chuan also said: "The recruits came to the army camp but did not have enough supplies. This is indeed a problem. Except for firearms, there is not enough armor, winter clothes, food and weapons in the army."

"How did the DPRK and China respond? Why didn't they allocate supplies?"

"No response, just told us to come back and wait. Later, I asked twice and said the same thing. It is estimated that the war caused too much loss in the treasury, and the supply is not available for the time being. Maybe it is waiting for the enemy to pay? So the recent recruitment volume The last general and Lao Lu also controlled the reduction, thinking about taking it slowly."

He Yun frowned: "How long has this situation been going on?"

Lu Chuan replied: "It has been insufficient since the Wujia Army was stationed in the two mountains. Later, the news of the loss of the [-] army came back to Jinyang, and the general started to recruit new soldiers. It was even more insufficient. It seems that it has been three months."

Three months, tell me the treasury is not enough?fart!

"How are the sergeants feeling?"

"It's okay for the time being. I'm worried that people in the army will fluctuate. In fact, the last general and Lao Huang haven't greatly reduced the food, clothing and military pay of the sergeants, but it won't last long."

He Yun took a deep breath, and said: "I understand, I'll take care of the material matters, and the two of you need to worry about the military camp."

"General, there is one more thing. The post of deputy general of the Wujia Army cannot always be vacant."

He Yun thought for a while, and said: "There is no suitable candidate for the time being, it's better to be short than to be indiscriminate, there is me."

The two lieutenants didn't say anything more, He Yun turned around: "Since that's the case, I won't go in, let's go first."

Go to the camp gate of the Central Army camp, the Treasury Bureau is on the left, and the General's Mansion is on the right.

He Yun took two steps back and forth, sighed, and turned to the right.He thought about what Prime Minister Su said, and he couldn't go to the Treasury Bureau. He was afraid that if he couldn't control himself, he would have disputes with others, and the treasury might be demolished.

At the end of the day, the concierge was sitting at the door, bored, when he saw his general walking through the street from a distance.

Just as the concierge was about to get up, He Yun had already stepped onto the threshold, took a deep breath, and yelled ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! walked in.

Behind him, the porter was stunned, and silently sat back on the spot.

Feng Yi was walking towards the front yard with the medicine tube, before he could pass through the photo gate, he was frightened for a moment, then turned around and said to He Lian, "Lan Tian, ​​general...what's wrong?"

At this time He Yun had already entered through the photo door, with a fierce expression on his face, he asked, "Are you going to the prison to deliver medicine?"

Feng Yi turned his head and cleared his throat: "Yes, General."

"Brother Zichen, are you okay?"

"It's very good! If you eat two more, you don't need to give it away."

Finally, there is some comforting news, He Yun said: "Then you go."

Feng Yi hurried away.He Lian asked, "What's wrong, Second Brother?"

He Yun walked towards the inner hall: "Don't ask me, I'm dead!"

He Lian followed, hesitantly asking, "How did you die?"

"To death!" He Yun sat down at the table.
