The aristocratic children of this era neither liked hunting nor entertainment. The most popular leisure activity was to sit and talk.
There is no need to waste physical energy, nor does it require a strong physique.
If the average person is only five stones loose, if they like this kind of thing, don't expect them to practice martial arts. How is that possible? It's too laborious.
Therefore, in such a social atmosphere, Wang Mi was able to get rid of his inherent impression, mount his war horse, and rush to the battlefield, which was considered a leap forward.
It can be said that he was able to cheer up the Beifu soldiers in a short period of time and win several great victories, which is enough to prove his strength.
There are still some shortcomings in the area of civil servants.
This also has time limitations.
After the social collapse of the late Sui Dynasty and the collapse of the Sui Dynasty, many scholars lost their place to work. Therefore, these scholars who were forced to lose their jobs had no choice but to find new jobs. After all, life has to go on, right?
As a result, some of them defected to Dou Jiande, and some came to the command of the Tang army.
It is said that heroes emerge from troubled times. Of course, among those who take the initiative, there are many mediocre people who are not useful at all, but there are also many truly capable people among them.
In that context, Wang Mi is definitely willing to be emperor, and we have no need to support him.
"you understood."
And now, He Mai is about to make a breakthrough!
Liu Yu pulled his face and showed a bright smile: "You want to bring your wife who is in Lujiang to Jingkou."
On the contrary, my death brought great difficulty to Wang Mi.
Can't I break with tradition?
Wait a minute, doesn’t Liu Yu have a wife yet?
In an era when status was used to judge one's status, and very little wealth and interests could not be hereditary, as a child of a small family, if you couldn't obtain the wealth that others could only achieve in a few lifetimes even if you had to work hard, why should you work hard?
"Now, the Beifu only has to fight internally, and is also responsible for the defense of Jiankang City. There will definitely be a shortage of men and horses. Soldiers must be recruited from all over the country and the best ones selected."
This does not mean that you have retreated from your intentions and are devoted to pragmatism.
It feels wonderful for such a smart person to suddenly become serious.
To be honest, in terms of Xiao Jin's foundation, those two people's foundation is much worse than Wang Mi's.
Now that I finally got the chance, I was naturally excited. He Mai looked relieved when he saw that I was eager to give it a try.
"Yes, after you think about it, he is more suitable than Youji. He is shrewd, tactful, and careless. Now Beifu also needs to fight. What he needs to do is not only the daily accounts of Beifu managed by Mu Zhi, but also the
There is no reserve of weapons and equipment, all the management of Han Lake, and there is no daily training of soldiers, recruitment of men and horses, all of which require him to cooperate with the slaves and implement them as soon as possible."
Later, when He Mai returned to Jiankang, Liu Yu ended up being deeply tied to his cousin He Youji. Wherever He Youji was, Liu Yu was also there.
Liu Yu's thoughts were very complicated. I smiled calmly and said, "Of course it's because of the changes in the current situation."
However, Du Cheng is also bad.
I supported Wagang Village and then defected to the Tang Army.
These reckless heroes who fell from the sky, or were famous mountain hermits, were really discovered by the imperial court.
Therefore, it cannot be seen that I work very hard in Beifu.
There is really no doubt about that matter.
"That's bad, you should hurry up and talk about serious matters."
The bad thing is, there is no Du Chenglun yet.
Precisely because there is a way to unify the north and the south, no matter whether the court in the north or the court in the south is relatively stronger, anyone can conquer the other side.
There is no goal at all.
I came to follow He Mai in the war, and I never had a family around me. Although He Mai guessed that I probably didn't have a wife, he had never heard of such a person from outside my mouth.
And He Mai will naturally give me the rewards I deserve.
Of course, what Li Shimin meant was to control the capable rather than the mediocre.
Even in Beifu, which I temporarily controlled, those people were not convinced, but for us, the most important thing is not to protect our family's interests in Jiangyou.
wife?
Especially in the late Jin Dynasty when there was no imperial examination system, few so-called talents had to have a bad background before they could join the reserve team of ministers.
At that time, of course, we must mobilize all the people and horses we can mobilize.
After all, after Du Chenglun defected to Beifu and attacked Xiangyang, Liu Yulai was responsible for the daily management of many accounts in the army. At this time, what I did was also very wrong.
The tacit agreement reached by the Family Alliance is not that any of you will be the emperor, but the elected emperor will protect your interests.
It was a good deal to let his career go to the General Administration from that era. After all, in history, Du Chenglun, although he took care of the frontline for Du Cheng, he was lucky enough to fail after Wang Mi became emperor.
"Of course there is a problem. He just picks up and asks you what to do."
And now, He Mai is able to entrust that job to me, which is exactly what Liu Yu wants.
It is indeed not easy to find suitable candidates for civil servants among such a lazy and carefree crowd.
Now that you have seen through that layer, you should use your strengths as soon as possible.
In fact, in ancient times, very few dynasties had a common source of admiration for Taoist doctrine. It is not because this set of Taoist doctrines is harmful to our ignorant people who establish a court and control an era.
Regardless of whether it is in the north or the south, relatively speaking, the court's ability to control local areas is extremely unlimited.
"Just think about it, then you won't have much time to go back to Lujiang, so why don't you bring your wife here now? Unfortunately, Youji's wife is still in her hometown in Lujiang, so we can't keep each other company that time.
Come to Jingkou together."
"This is so bad!" So bad!
"That's his family matter."
In that situation, in order to maintain half of the country, as an emperor, he naturally wants to make as much trouble and sacrifice as possible.
However, as most people in the past dynasties generally respected various promising theories of Taoism, people in the late Jin Dynasty did not have a single characteristic that slightly hindered King Langya from collecting talents.
"Zhiyuan, I asked you to go to Jingkou. There is no problem at all. It's true. You haven't asked for anything."
On the one hand, Wang Mi was worried that the front defense would be sufficient and someone would take charge of the situation, so he had to give up the victory he had not won and return to Jiankang to stabilize the situation.
He saw that the need for money but no money, the need for status but no identity, these are all things we are born with, and they are completely reincarnated.
Could it be that he was really stimulated by He Youji?
Where is the lack of motivation?
In the blink of an eye, let us turn our attention back to the last years of the Jin Dynasty.
"Now that he has become King of Langya, you young people who started their careers in Jingkou will naturally have to perform their own duties. Originally, you planned to wait until the affairs of Jiankang City came to an end, then go back to your hometown in Lujiang to pick up your wife.
But I thought that the situation was changing so slowly. Since I sent you to Jingkou to replace Mu Zhi, of course it is still a small matter."
Therefore, as Wang Mi's most important behind-the-scenes think tank, Liu Muzhi basically did not enjoy the fruits of failure.
In an era when aristocratic families are kings, a child from a top aristocratic family actually has to stand up and take charge of the situation!
Wang Mi lived in the same era. In front of me, Huan Wen, who died before he accomplished his small business, and Wang Dun, who died of illness before he was halfway through his rebellion.
Liu Yu was very excited and pointed back at himself: "He asked you to replace Du Chenglun?"
Therefore, that kind of separatist situation can only continue to be maintained, because there is no way to unify the whole territory, and all kinds of human and material resources cannot be well mobilized and integrated.
Therefore, the entire late Sui Dynasty was not an era where talented people emerged in large numbers, but at this time, only pure scholars had to seek refuge in various places to make a living. Even the dominant local tyrants like Xu Shiji often took unusual paths.
"King Langya didn't give any orders, but he said it would be helpful."
Cooperating with aristocratic families like this is not the most complicated way to maintain it.
That errand is best left to me.
Can't I succeed?
Therefore, it cannot be seen that at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the talent pool in the entire Middle-earth underground was still very abundant.
Liu Yu is a stupid man. After a period of experience, I found that it is more suitable to be a civil servant than to go to war.
"Congratulations to King Langya."
As for Wang Mi, although he claimed to be a descendant of Liu Bang, he was still born barefoot after all. Among the noble sons in the court, how many of them ignored me?
After all, when we first met in Jingkou, Liu Yu had not left home for half a year. At this time, I was also alone in Jingkou.
"Leave those things to you, and he must not worry."
There is always a relationship of mutual cooperation, and the maintenance of that relationship is also due to the division of the north and the south for two hundred years.
In the late Jin Dynasty, as long as he mastered the code of reincarnation, he would not be able to lie down and enjoy a bad life.
I am also incompetent. I can't do anything practical at all, but why am I being idle? Of course, even if he doesn't have any resentment in his heart, Du Cheng is very confused about the current situation and understands that it is completely a seizure.
Bad timing.
To be honest, Du Cheng was still very unconvinced.
According to my background, I should naturally be disgusted with the aristocratic family group. However, the aristocratic family has a deep foundation and the prison is breakable. If I want to secure my position, I must cooperate with the aristocratic family.
However, as a relatively unknown wealthy family in this place, in fact, as long as I can survive in troubled times, it is enough. There is no need to wade into that muddy water.
Look at how few cards Langya King has in his hand.
Judging from my state, it’s really a sign of what’s going on.
As soon as Liu Yu arrived, he immediately smiled.
All of that, so far, is far from settled.
But, what He Mai wants to do now is to create a new model.
That prodigy in troubled times, although he was diligent in his seven bodies, was really incompetent.
Without Liu Muzhi, Du Cheng's baggage supply could be guaranteed. In that case, the longer the battle line stretched, the more worrying it became.
Although Liu Yu has not personally witnessed what Liu Muzhi did, I still have little confidence in myself.
In that era, although people's social life was extremely rich and colorful, there were also many disciplines and dogmas in society. Everyone pursued freedom, which formed a trend.
"Why be so polite? It's all bad."
Is there any way to do this? Is there really a few of them?
But now, it is obvious that I can obtain real benefits more slowly by defecting to He Mai than I did by defecting to Wang Mi in history.
As for Wang Mi, as a military commander and emperor with a grassroots background, his position did not change after he became emperor and before he became emperor.
It's been dry for such a long time, and I didn't even think about my wife. Why did I think of my wife at that time?
It's just that everyone pursues fame and wealth, and it's more difficult for those who have no talent, learning, or ability to retreat into the court's sight.
Later, my junior Wang Dun also wanted to do that, but because his ability was unlimited and his goals were clear enough, he failed to achieve his small business.
We are all descendants of serious aristocratic families. Although we do not have the army of the General Secretary in our hands, people under the imperial court are naturally not afraid of us.
I also know that Liu Muzhi, as a strange person who emerged from Jingkou, has indeed done an outstanding job in front-line support, and his mind is shrewd enough to turn into chaos in times of crisis.
Whether or not these talented people can be discovered and put to practical use depends on the coach's vision.
"There has been no small change in the current situation. He can stay in Jiankang. Now he will go back to Jingkou to replace Mu Zhi and run Beifu."
Back then, Wang Mi had not yet led his troops to attack Chang'an, but he had to give up due to various reasons. Among the few reasons, Wang Mi was naturally not infected with the disease.
Liu Yu had been prepared for a long time and was waiting for He Mai's order.
After all, fundamentally speaking, we and the civil servants under the court still belong to the same camp, just like the current President He Mai.
Therefore, for the sake of being the current emperor, I cannot transform myself into eight emperors. However, before sitting down on the throne, Wang Mi did not kill anyone. He also entrusted these ministers who were regarded as his own in the future with important responsibilities.
continue to use.
On the other hand, it is also because my physical strength is gradually declining, and I am worried that if I become emperor again, the career I have worked hard for will be given away to others.
However, those children of famous families in the late Jin Dynasty were often indifferent to the most basic needs of human survival, such as actively pursuing career success and changing their own situation.
However, chaotic times often inspire people's mentality of fighting and winning, so those wealthy families with little wealth also serve in various small armies, which is another quite weak force.
"Yes, it has been so long. He has not taken his wife with him. How did he remember it at that time?"
I have taken the path of a powerful minister and regent!
Seeing that he was used to Liu Yu's greasy smile, Du Cheng hurriedly interrupted me. Du Cheng was sensible and wanted to tease me a few words, but since He Mai was interested, forget it.
Similarly, Liu Muzhi's sudden death was also a small reason.
So, very slowly, I sent someone to call Liu Yu.
It is only reasonable to say that there is no coming or going. He Mai has transferred two young generals Liu Muzhi and Tan Pingzhi from Jingkou, so he can express it or not.
Just like what Li Shimin later boasted about when he became emperor, he believed that the most important thing for a monarch is to be good at controlling people.
The fundamental reason is, of course, whether we have the need or not.
What's more, these cities along the confrontation line between the North and South separatist regimes are constantly fighting and stopping, and they are trying to develop commerce. They are simply becoming more and more ruined with the war.
