Everyone has shortcomings, and Su Ping is no exception.
He has "three fears": he is afraid of others being weak; he is afraid of seeing poor people; he is afraid of women crying.
If the opponent is aggressive, he will be aggressive as well, but if the opponent gives in, he will be like a deflated rubber ball;
When he saw the poor people's houses were in ruins and could not afford food or medical treatment, he couldn't help but pay for them, but if he couldn't pay for it himself, he would be sad;
He rarely has the same understanding with women. If he can't avoid it and insists on arguing, he will relent as soon as the woman cries.
With these shortcomings, Su Ping himself felt that he was not qualified to be a general.
In fact, he never thought that one day he would lead thousands of troops to fight. But life is full of uncertainties. For example, some people slowly become what they least want to see. I wonder if Su Ping will
There was a day like that.
As soon as Tang Mei cried, Su Ping's hard-heartedness melted away. That night, he went to see Fan Gongfei and asked her to recommend Tang Mei.
Su Ping did not coerce Fan Gongfei as Grandma Wang said. What do you mean, if you don't agree, I will cut off your recuperation and make you suffer. Obviously this is not Su Ping's style of doing things.
Even when a person is about to die, he speaks kindly. Concubine Fan seems to have given up a lot. At this time, she was seriously ill, but no one came to ask her for help, so she agreed to recommend Tang Mei.
She also asked Su Ping to go back and tell Tang Mei, hoping that Tang Mei would remember this kindness. She did not expect Tang Mei to repay anything, but she only hoped that Tang Mei would treat Tang Zhao better in the future. She emphasized again that it was the prince who empathized, not Tang Zhao.
Seize love.
Su Ping solemnly agreed, but Su Ping did not tell Tang Mei this after returning. Because Su Ping felt that human feelings cannot be expressed and can only be understood by the other person.
What the other party realizes is human kindness. If you still need to remind it, it only means that the person is ruthless. And when facing a ruthless person, it is useless to say it, and it may even cause resentment. - The premise is that the other party is of sound mind.
of adults.
If the other party is young, has little life experience, or lacks intelligence, then you can give him a reminder. But you must also "stop there". In short, you must remember the four words "too much is not enough".
In fact, Tang Mei may not be selected by the royal family as the princess after being nominated by the family. But Tang Mei will feel regretful if she misses this opportunity.
If Princess Fan was still healthy, and Tang Mei was not Supervisor Okura, she would not have had this idea due to her poor popularity as Miss Six.
But now that Princess Fan is on her last legs, the two concubines have begun to move closer to her, and she can use Okura's lack of children to gain some support. Not only does she feel regretful that she cannot be nominated under such circumstances, she also
I feel shameless.
When it was time to light the lamp, Su Ping returned to Qinxiang Xiaozhu and told Tang Mei that the princess had agreed to recommend you.
Tang Mei became happy and started to rummage through the boxes again, not knowing what she was looking for. But after searching for a long time, she still walked out of the bedroom empty-handed, pretended to be calm and sat on the couch and said: "This is for daily wear, you still have it?"
Are you missing something? If you are missing something, you can tell me and I will reward you."
The word "reward" sounded a bit harsh to Su Ping, so he said: "If you want to repay me, you can give me something. It doesn't matter what you give me, as long as it's your intention. If you have nothing to give, don't give it. As for that, don't give it to me."
You should leave the reward to your servants."
Tang Mei immediately said: "Su Baoyu, don't go too far. Even if I am not the princess, I am the direct daughter of the Duke's mansion. Do you know the "Taiping Alliance"? The direct sons and daughters of the Tang, Meng, and Ximen families are born to be
You have a title. And you are a commoner, so I give you something as a reward. I was right, I won’t tolerate your pretentiousness with me."
Su Ping hooked his fingers and said, "Bring me the Alliance of Peace and see it."
Tang Mei stared angrily for a while, then opened the drawer and actually fished out a codex.
Su Ping saw "League of Peace" for the first time and was quite shocked.
The conclusion of this alliance started a hundred years ago. In the last years of the Tang Dynasty, there were many wars. A team from Liang Dynasty, led by Zhao Lue, massacred all parties. At the same time, the Tang family in Longyou, the Meng family in Jingzhou, and the Ximen family in Huainan
The team was also rapidly devouring the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
However, any one of these four families could not end the Tang Dynasty. On the contrary, under the leadership of the Tang Dynasty general Zhu Quanzhong (Zhu Wen), there was a possibility of being defeated by each one. So the four families agreed to mobilize in a unified manner and take a major action. The result was that Zhao
Lue's troops were the first to enter Chang'an and killed Zhu Quanzhong with a sword.
Tang Zhaozong fled to Luoyang, and Zhao Lue was the first to attack Luoyang, forcing Tang Zhaozong to abdicate. But at this time, the teams of Tang, Meng, and Ximen came to kill them. They were originally invited by Zhao Lue to support them, but now they are
It is easy to ask God but difficult to send Him away.
So the "Peace Alliance" was signed, which resulted in the three families of Tang, Meng, and Ximen each occupying one area. The army has been retained. Each family maintained a scale of 150,000 and became a vassal warlord. The royal family occupied Hebei, Shandong, and Henan.
, Hedong, Guannai, Wudao. The Xuanjia Army maintains a scale of 200,000.
Gyeonggi Road, which is the road directly under Luoyang, is nominally owned by the royal family, but is actually occupied a lot by the three clans. For example, the Tang family is located in the east of Luoyang City and owns large fields. It mainly provides food to Qinghuafang.
This "Peace Alliance" has greatly enhanced the interests of the three warlords and seriously reduced the interests of the royal family.
For example, if a young lady from a wealthy family commits a crime, Jingzhao Mansion and its lower yamen are not qualified to take charge of it. The Ministry of Internal Affairs needs to bring the emperor's edict to mention the person, and then the family will oversee the trial in Dali Temple.
The salary of the royal family only lasts for three generations. After the third generation, they are all civilians. However, the court still takes some care of the royal family after the third generation. Although they have lost their titles and salaries, if they join the army, they will start at the level of centurion and have a horse.
.
If you take part in the imperial examination, as long as the papers are neat and tidy, you can basically become a Gongsheng student, and you can guarantee the minimum food and clothing. But it is more difficult to pass the provincial examination, because there will be sects involved, and the four sects will supervise each other and restrain each other.
In fact, this is not entirely a bad thing. It will lead to a good result: no one wants to promote waste. This is actually much better than the ninth-grade Zhongzheng system, and there will not be a bad situation of "no poor family in the upper class, and no nobles in the lower class".
This is also one of the differences between the clans of the Liang Dynasty and those before the Tang Dynasty.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the strange system of the Liang Dynasty can persist for a hundred years. Talented people still have channels for advancement and will not be completely blocked.
The four major armies of the Liang Dynasty, because of their competitive relationship, paid more attention to the selection and appointment of talents. Because of this, the Liang Dynasty's army has always maintained a high level of combat effectiveness.
But if the nine-rank Zhongzheng system is continued like in the Jiangnan Jin Dynasty, corruption will inevitably emerge in endlessly. Talented people cannot be promoted. All senior officers are nobles, and nine out of ten mid-level officers are members of the noble family. The longer the time goes by, the more corruption will occur.
The more thorough they are. Nowadays, most of the low-level officers are taken up by households related to the gentry.
Although the Southern Jin Dynasty was rich, its military strength was worrisome. It almost capsized the battle against the small Nanzhao Kingdom. In the end, they used twenty times the force to trap Nanzhao for eight months. Although Nanzhao was defeated in the end, their king
Still broke out.
The emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty knew very well that the army was incompetent. Although he had an army of millions, he would never dare to cross the Yangtze River. He only maintained a defensive posture by Chen Bingjiang.
"It turns out Miss Six is a salary earner." Su Ping rubbed her chin.
"What do you think?" Tang Mei said with some pride in her big eyes.
Su Ping closed the book and pretended to sigh: "I really underestimate Miss Sixth. The common people are so rude and frightened. Then from now on, I will not come to see Miss Sixth."
"Why?" Tang Mei raised an eyebrow.
"I'm afraid. When the common people see the nobles, their legs tremble." Su Ping said in a mocking manner.
Tang Mei narrowed her eyes and said nothing, obviously she had seen that Su Ping was faking it.
Later, Tang Mei said that she planned to reward Su Ping, but she was not very rich now, and she said that the family's finances were tight, so she finally decided to make a pair of shoes for Su Ping with her own hands.
"Originally I could have given you something decent, but I just changed a horse today. You know, the donkey and mule that pulled my cart are too old and are not even as useful as a donkey."
"Oh..., what are you going to do with the donkey and mule?"
"That mule is thirty years old. Let's kill it and eat its meat."
"How about this? I don't want shoes, so just give me this mule."
"The donkey and mule are already losing their hair. What do you want them to do?"
"For commuting to and from get off work."
"Okay then, I'll ask Tang Wan to go to the office to apply for a mule riding license for you. You have to remember that if you are not a noble, you are not an official of fifth rank or above, and you are not in a hurry to handle official business, you are not allowed to run horses or mule in Luoyang City. Otherwise you will be arrested.
If Jin Wuwei catches him, he will be punished by whipping or beheading."
The Jinwu Guards of the Liang Dynasty were different from those of the Tang Dynasty. There were twelve guards in total, such as Xiaoqi, Leopard Cavalry, Qianniu Guards, etc., collectively called the Jinwu Guards. Each guard had a thousand men. And Jinwu General "King of Qi" Zhao Changchun also
He is the father-in-law of the fifth son Tang Jian.
The lady who chased Tang Jian with a mallet a few days ago was the daughter of King Qi, and she was extremely fierce.
"Old Liu, are you at home?"
A woman came to Miss Sixth's house and saw that there was no one in the concierge, so she shouted hello.
Tang Mei stood up, opened the window and looked, it was Mrs. Tang Jian. She was such a tall woman, with a sturdy figure, a big face like a pillow, a flat nose, a face that covered the sky, a face full of freckles, and she spoke in a loud voice. Seeing Tang Mei push
Opening the window, she walked in.
Tang Mei said quickly: "What does fifth sister-in-law want from me?"
The Fifth Young Master's wife said: "I heard from the warehouse man that he would come to you to get a note for me even if I take something. Is this true?"
"I told the Lord that if a person like my sister-in-law wants to take anything, she will get it if it is reasonable and reasonable. Why, the Lord won't give it to the Sister-in-law?"
"Do you think what I want to take is unreasonable?" As he was talking, the fifth young master's wife walked in and saw Su Ping. Su Ping saluted to the lady. The lady clasped her hands in front of her belly and looked at it, and suddenly raised her fingers.
He said: "What a good young man. You knocked the Khitan people off the ring that day, but you made me feel bad."
