Liu Ba has a saying that changes in thoughts take time, and hasteness will not be achieved.
Others are like this, and Liu Ba is no exception.
In his eyes, the Sun father, son and brother will never be able to get rid of the mark of the martial arts husband.
What about the others, especially those generals from Xiliang, can they get rid of the label of cruelty and killing, and become ministers who can truly stand in the court with the Central Plains scholars and officials?
I'm afraid it's difficult.
With such prejudice, Liu Ba's judgment on the situation in the northwest was very worried.
After dinner, removing the bowls and chopsticks and changing into tea cups, Liu Ba talked about the situation in the northwest he knew.
The first question is that with the stability of the situation in the northwest, many people have the idea of underestimating the enemy. The most concerned issue is not to prevent the Hu people who went south, but how can they follow the emperor to fight westward.
Although the Hu people who went south recently were not as good as in previous years, the situation on the frontier was not easy. The Hu barbarians would not easily accept control. The reason why they obeyed was because the Han army had strong military forces, which made them dare not act rashly.
The Han army relaxed its vigilance in terms of thought, and it would be a matter of time before the attacks were taken by the captives.
Secondly, the number of household registrations in border counties is increasing, and there is no time to transfer to the mainland. When large-scale cultivation or grazing cannot be built, the mainland will increase its supply, which puts pressure on transportation.
Finally, with the recovery of the mainland, the originally not very obvious gap between the rich and the poor gradually emerged, and the imbalance in border counties became increasingly serious. There are more border requirements to increase the prices of horses, cattle and sheep, and increase compensation for border counties.
Yang Xiu's article was dug out again and used as a basis and asked Situ's Mansion to make adjustments.
This incident made the Situ Mansion very passive, especially the Situ Changshi Niheng who stayed in Chang'an, who was blocked by people almost every day.
Thanks to Ni Heng's good eloquence, he was open-minded and didn't care about face, so he fought to the point. If he had a thinner old minister, he would have been so angry that he had already been smeared by them and agreed to their request.
"The harsh woman is afraid of pestering the man. Your Majesty, you are blocked by others every day, and you can't do any normal business."
Liu Ba ended with a sigh, picked up the teacup that was not too hot, and drank it all in one go.
Liu Xie listened very seriously, but he was in a calm mood.
The problem that Liu Ba mentioned does exist, but it is far from the point where the Situ Mansion cannot handle it and he, the emperor, needs to come forward.
In other words, Liu Ba should have another purpose when he comes to see him.
Could it be for Shixie?
Liu Xie muttered in his heart, but did not say that. He had to wait for Liu Ba to speak himself, instead of taking the initiative to ask.
The battle between the monarch and the minister is sometimes a battlefield without bleeding.
Liu Xie raised the teapot and refilled Liu Ba. He said with a smile: "The first problem is easy to deal with. I will issue an edict to Yanran Protector to keep them cautious and not underestimate the enemy. As for the other two issues, Situ Mansion
It should be able to handle it."
He took a sip of tea and said slowly: "These are problems that will be encountered sooner or later. Now we will start to solve them. It will be better to solve them if the problem is serious. As for governing the country, it is like this, there will always be problems. No
When you are free."
Liu Ba, who had just picked up the teacup, was stunned and hesitated for a moment. "Are you surprised by your Majesty?"
"What's unexpected?"
"For example, the generals of Yanran Protectorate's Mansion are arrogant."
"It's all human beings, and it's inevitable that you will indulge yourself when you have the upper hand. When you encounter a strong enemy and suffer, you will naturally restrain yourself." Liu Xie turned the teacup in his hand. "Besides, you can't just say that they are louder.
If you think that if you are arrogant, it depends on whether they train hard and prepare for war. As a warrior, it is different from a scholar, so it is normal for you to not adapt to it."
Liu Ba's eyes flashed slightly and hesitated for a moment. "Your Majesty thinks I am a misjudgment?"
"I don't mean that." Liu Xie smiled. "Have you lived in the military camp? Which general can you talk to?"
Liu Ba was speechless, then blushed, and his expression was a little embarrassed, no longer as arrogant as he had just now.
He had never lived in the military camp for a day, nor had any friendship with any general, but the emperor had been in the military camp and was deeply trusted by the generals.
When talking about military affairs in front of the emperor, he was showing off his skills. When it comes to knowing people, he could not compare with the emperor.
"Zi Chu, it's not just the martial artist who wants to change." Liu Xie said meaningfully.
"Your Majesty... what he said is very." Liu Ba put down the teacup and bowed to salute. "I have lost my words."
"Nevertheless, it is still rare to be able to travel to the northwest in person." Liu Xie waved his hand and slowed down his tone. "It is my responsibility for the generals to be anxious for the westward expedition. I am not cautious enough and have given them a bad influence.
.It seems that it is still possible to complete domestic construction within ten years. Even if everything goes as expected, it is probably a problem to bring a new generation to the war in ten years.
It is a seed, and you cannot sacrifice it in vain."
"Your Majesty..." Liu Ba was even more embarrassed.
The emperor said that the new generation is a seed, but did he say that even the people today can’t do it?
Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, then laughed silently. "Look, I'm speechless again. I'm ashamed, ashamed, I don't mean this. Well, at least not exactly that."
Liu Ba also shook his hand and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty does not need to explain, I can understand it. We have too much habits, and even if we are willing to change, it is not so easy. Xun Yu is like this, and I am no exception. The Han Dynasty really needs to change customs and customs.
Look at the next generation.”
"But I don't want you all to change."
"Your Majesty means..."
"Emperor Guangwu has raised his scholars for a hundred years, and he has achieved the current scholarly style. Although it is biased, in general, scholars have insisted on it and are not easily moved by the outside world. It is still good. If everyone seeks profit, they will look at the moral integrity.
The righteousness is like grass, and it is not what the court wants, nor what I want.”
Liu Xie sighed, thinking of the era when public intellectuals were rampant, and he felt emotion in his heart.
He did not speak empty words to Liu Ba. He really admired the style of the scholars of this era, even if those people seemed a little stubborn, a little stubborn, and even a little stupid.
Of course, he admires the true gentleman, not the hypocrite.
Those who speak and have another one in their hearts will not look down on those who look at each other.
Facts have also proved that true gentlemen seem stubborn, but in fact it is not difficult to change, as long as they can be proved to them.
Those who are unrealistic and insist on wrong ideas often do not adhere to their ideas, but are unwilling to give up their interests. Just like many books who hold on to their principles and do not let go of their principles and do not necessarily mean that they believe in the principles and do not change their principles and do not necessarily mean that they do not want to give up the principles and their reluctance to give up the principles and their reluctance to give up the principles and their
Privileges and benefits brought.
For such a person, he would not even look at him, let alone sit together and drink tea and chat.
"Is there any better plan for transporting materials to the frontier?" Liu Xie took the initiative to change the topic so that Liu Ba would not be too embarrassed.
"Some." Liu Ba cheered up. "There are two plans now, one is outrageous and the other is even more outrageous."
Liu Xie was stunned and couldn't help laughing. "Tell me, listen."
"The outrageous plan is to repair the straight roads and expand along the edges to directly lead to the grassland. For even more outrageous things, some people suggest building a weir on the river upstream of Longmen to open the boats."
