You Xiaojiejun, a name that has almost been engraved in Tie Er's bones, Ye An was extremely surprised the moment he heard it. Is this a retribution due to the cycle of karma?
The Youxiaojie Army brought by Sun Quanbin may not necessarily be the one commanded by Tie Er's father. In fact, the Youxiaojie Army numbered no less than tens of thousands, and I don't know which one Tie Er's father was commanding at the time.
When Ye An told Sun Quanbin what he knew about Tie Er's father, Tie Yu, Sun Quanbin stared at him in surprise and said: "What do you mean by asking like this? Not to mention that Tie Er is your servant, but that Tie Yu was
It has nothing to do with you if you die in battle and your pension is embezzled by your superiors..."
Ye An stared at Sun Quanbin and said: "This is a matter of faith. Please help me, sir!"
Sun Quanbin sighed: "Is there anything else? You have to know that with these 100,000 kilograms of grain, you can ask someone to help you with other things."
Ye An shook his head and said: "Nothing else! If the high official can help me find out the truth and make the traitor know the correct punishment, Ye An will give all the 100,000 kilograms to the high official without taking any money!"
Sun Quanbin trembled, and the drunkenness on his face disappeared in an instant. He looked at Ye An and said with an incredible voice: "Do you know how much these 100,000 kilograms of grain are worth now? Even if it is purchased by the imperial court, it requires thousands of guan.
Money, or even more, can you think clearly, are you willing to give up this huge wealth for the justice of your late father who is just a servant?!"
Ye An showed a smile that was uglier than crying and shook his head helplessly: "You're unlucky! I agreed to my promise and was given my life to repay you. How can I care about anything else? A word of faith is worth a thousand gold, so I have to pay it back!"
Sun Quanbin looked Ye An up and down, and sighed again: "You should never take the literary path from now on, and even if you do, don't enter the court. I'm afraid you won't even have the bones left!"
Then it is decided that these 100,000 kilograms of grain will be given to a certain family, and that family will help you find out about Tie Yu's matter and give you an explanation. Lawlessness in the military is especially common among civilians. As long as it is found out, the Queen Mother will definitely pay attention to it.
As long as the Queen Mother pays attention...hehe."
Ye An breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally had an explanation for Tie Er's matter. He bowed deeply to Sun Quanbin and said, "Thank you, sir!"
"Thank you! Do you know how much effort a certain family has to put into this matter? Tie Yu was recruited from the Youxiaojie Army into the Dragon Guard Army, participated in the war and died in Chanyuan, so there must be a pension.
But was the pension embezzled before the Dragon Guard Army sent it to the Youxiaojie Army? Or was it embezzled by the Youxiaojie Army? Or was it embezzled by its command? These are old cases from twelve years ago.
It will take a lot of effort to find out, and if it involves a lot of corruption, or involves generals, then even a certain family will not dare to investigate further!"
Indeed, Tie Yu's matter seems simple, but there are too many ulterior secrets behind it. If you pull out the carrot and bring out the mud, it will affect the whole body, and you may even suffer revenge from those who benefit from it.
.
This was also the reason why Ye An asked Tie Er to wait. As for killing people... it was much simpler than finding out the truth.
Ye An clasped his hands in his fists and said: "Sir, if something cannot be done, I only need a name!"
He raised his hand and gave Ye An a big slap on the head. Sun Quanbin shook his hand and said: "Remember your identity. A scholar is a scholar. Just follow the literary path properly. Don't be so heroic! Here you go.
What about the name? Killing sycophants? Wishful thinking! A certain family teaches you to be good. Things in officialdom are not that simple! Maybe the person you want to kill is someone else who wants to protect him? Or a noble person wants to protect him? What about you?
Now that things have come to a point, you can only wait, kid, don’t forget your identity! This is your capital to gain a foothold in the world!"
The words are beautiful, but from the beginning to the end, they are teaching Ye An not to meddle in other people's business. The division of interests in this world has been determined long ago. There can be no inexplicable greed, and there can be no greed other than interests.
without.
Sun Quanbin's meaning is very simple. If a small commander of the Youxiaojie Army embezzles Tie Er's pension, then he will give Tie Er a fair punishment. If not, then he will stop investigating thoroughly.
Go down, and at the same time ask Ye An not to investigate the matter further.
From a starting point, Sun Quanbin is good and is thinking about Ye An, but in fact he is still required to compromise with interest groups. Once it comes to matters involving generals, he should just put his tail between his legs and be a good man. There is no need to ruin his future.
On the body of a thief with an army.
As a high-ranking internal official, Sun Quanbin had taken great care of Ye An and said everything he needed to say, but for some reason, Ye An felt unusually cold and angry.
A loyal sergeant, a soldier who sacrificed his life for the country, became a victim of interests. Even after he died, his military merits and pensions were embezzled by those above him.
The terrible thing is that almost everyone thinks that this is a matter of course. Even Tie Er, the sufferer, in the end just hopes that Ye An will remove his military status from the Xiang Army, and does not expect Ye An to help him get back his father's pension.
and military merit.
A country's military system should be as solid as iron, a red line that no one can touch. Only in this way can the combat effectiveness of the army be guaranteed and the soldiers can fight for the country and even die generously.
But the military system of the Song Dynasty that Zhao Zhen saw was so unsightly that it was as full of loopholes as a sieve.
The saddest thing is that almost everyone thinks this should be the case. Ye An can't help but ask, can this country be saved?
In less than a hundred years, the two emperors were led away like pigs and sheep. This ironic scene made Ye An look at Sun Quanbin with a sneer. The ridicule in his eyes stung Sun Quanbin: "The military system has declined to the point where people are like slaves.
If we all take it for granted, the country is in danger!"
"If you have the ability, use your talents and knowledge to show them in the court. Don't say such nonsense. Only you know it? All the princes in the court are angry?!"
Ye An was silent. Sun Quanbin's seemingly reasonable words could only prove two points. Either the princes in the court were involved in it, or they did it intentionally, but no matter which case it was, it was a sad thing.
things.
What is the army? It is the most fundamental guarantee for a country. They are the existence of coercive force, a component of violence and the cornerstone of a country. Once there is a problem with the army, the country will be on the verge of destruction.
It can be seen from history books that in the early Song Dynasty, the military system of the Song Dynasty still had no problems, at least the rules in the army were still ironclad.
But since the Chanyuan Alliance, the military system of the Song Dynasty has plummeted. Except for those Xiang troops who recruited refugees, the overall trend of the Forbidden Army has also declined.
And Ye An now sees that the rules in the army are gradually falling apart. Pensions for fallen soldiers are almost untouchable in any era, but Ye An can bump into them, and he has to sigh that it is his luck.
