"Promote me?" Liu Wei's face was full of surprise: "Father, I have always followed you to fight, how could it be his turn to support me? Besides, he is so young, he probably has never even passed the exam, so he won
What helps me?"
A look of loneliness flashed across Liu Xian's face, and then he steeled himself and said, "He has no official position, but if you think that he has no ability to support you, you are wrong."
Liu Wei frowned and asked, "What does father mean by saying a few nice words for me in front of Mr. Gao Ge?"
Who would have thought that Liu Xian shook his head and sighed: "What kind of status do you have that deserves Mr. Gao Ge's concern? Not to mention you, even if you are a father, you may not be cared about by Mr. Gao Ge."
Liu Wei was a little puzzled, but more angry, and asked: "Why? My father has been fighting for so many years, and he is one of the three famous generals of the Southern Army, with an official rank of first rank! I don't think that the bachelor is only fifth rank, even if he has all the talents
You are only a second-rank official, so how dare you underestimate your father?"
From Liu Xianguan to Dudu Tongzhi, he was a high-ranking official, so Liu Wei said this.
"What's the point of talking about products?" Liu Xian waved his hand: "It's no better than Hongwu. During the Yongle period, the nobles and the military were humble for a long time. Not to mention that the old man in the high cabinet enjoyed the honor of the emperor's master, prime minister, and assistant, and he was a great Sima who did not join the cabinet. We, the military people,
Who dares to be disrespectful? Ignoring others, you just mentioned the three famous generals of the Confederate Army. Did you know that among the three of Yu, Qi and his father, Qi Nantang, who had the smoothest official career, gave him the favor of his backer in the court, Mr. Zhang Ge?
How do you sign the letters you write?"
Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "How...how did my son know about this?"
"Qi, the little lackey under the sect, bowed his head and bowed again." Liu Xian said expressionlessly: "My father suffered a big loss from this, and he is not as able to bear the humiliation as Qi Nantang... Fortunately, I have Yu Xujiang as my father.
The difference is like a pair of brothers in distress, both of whom have been robbed of credit, wiped out, and even framed for many years."
Liu Wei was speechless: "Why does Qi Nantang, a famous general in the world, demean himself so much? Why is this so?"
"Why is this so?" Liu Xian sighed: "That's a good question. As a father, I also want to ask, how come there is such a clear distinction between high and low in civil and military circles, and why is this so!"
It is said that military force is used to stabilize the country, and culture is used to stabilize the country; in troubled times, one thinks of generals, and in governing the world, one thinks of the situation. The two paths of civility and martial arts should not be neglected in the first place, but throughout the dynasties, civil and military forces have never been completely equal. Looking at the annals of history, perhaps
You may feel that there are many people who are on horseback as generals and dismounted as prime ministers, but in fact there are always a minority of such people who are both civil and military. Therefore, the country always distinguishes between civil servants and military generals, but the relationship between civil and military officials is not harmonious in most periods.
After the civil war in the Ming Dynasty, the situation of the nobles and the civil servants in the Hongwu and Yongle periods was quickly overturned - not to mention the high casualties of the noble and noble warrior group itself, even the new emperor was supported by civilian officials, and the city of Beijing was also defended by civilian officials (Yu Qian)
Yes, how do you military ministers claim to be the mainstay of the country?
Once the system of worshiping civil servants and deposing military officers was formed, the communication system between civil and military personnel would also change. For example, the positions of general and deputy general were also required to be dispatched by the Ministry of War. In other words, many of the positions of chief soldier and deputy chief soldier no longer depended on military merit.
According to the regulations of the system, in order to inherit the ancestral shadow, these military attachés had to deal with the civilian officials of the Ministry of War and the Military Science Department. During this process, there were inevitably some "despicable handbooks" that devalued their status. For example, generals, deputy generals, etc.
To the Ministry of War, the official's handbook of the Military Science Department. Those who care about their status will call themselves "juniors"; those who depreciate their status will often call themselves "stooges". As for the garrison, the general and below will give gifts to the secretary office of the Ministry of War.
In the gift card, the words "Mu En is born late" and so on are written in fine characters.
When military commanders at the highest level go to pay homage to civil servants, even if their ranks are very different, they must wear military uniforms, hold a sword in their left hand, a bow and arrow on their right hand, and go to the court to pay homage to civil servants. As for the door above for civil servants He called himself a "running dog". After resigning, he even had to talk to the civil servant's close confidant, lest he be mistaken for being arrogant.
This is not an isolated phenomenon, but the general trend. For example, during the Longqing Dynasty, the prefects, county magistrates and general soldiers can all resist the courtesy when meeting each other. They only use "waiter" for greetings and "shift meeting" for official documents. With participating generals , the same is generally true for interactions between guerrilla generals and below.
What's more, when Gongsheng, Supervising Students, and Students interact with Wu Bian, even if the other party is a general, they only submit the title of "Servant and Teaching Student" and do not use the title of "Late Student". After waiting, they meet with the generals and guerrillas. It goes without saying.
This is already the case for the generals, deputy generals, staff generals, and guerrilla military attachés with real power, and the local military attachés are even more devastated. When the commander of the guard station goes to visit the prefect, he must be called "Entang" and does not dare to resist the courtesy.
It can be seen that Liu Xian finally learned the lesson after suffering for so many years, but Liu Wei is still too young...
"Okay, even if what my father said makes sense, how could he tell that Mr. Gao intends to support me?"
Liu Xian explained: "Liu Zhongcheng's text to the cabinet was very simple and did not go into detail at all. So how do you think Dr. Tea in this teahouse knew the inside story?"
Liu Wei was startled: "But what Dr. Tea said is simply not right."
Liu Xian sneered and said: "There are some mistakes in the details, but we met Mr. Gao by chance, Mr. Gao was besieged by thieves, Cao Gan fell into your hands in the end, and so on, these are all correct, right?"
"What does father mean?" Liu Wei looked a little confused.
Liu Xian narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Obviously, this story itself was deliberately released by someone. As for who released it... besides Mr. Gao, is there anyone else? Didn't you realize that this story is basically the same as Is the story we discussed with Mr. Gao almost exactly the same?"
Liu Wei suddenly realized it, but immediately became curious and asked: "But how did Mr. Gao release this news? Is the imperial palace newspaper something he can influence?"
"He doesn't need to influence the Di newspaper." Liu Xian gave his son some pointers: "As Gao Ge Lao, whether he is in the General Affairs Department or the Sixth Section, there must be people of his. Mr. Gao only needs to report this matter. Just have a little chat with the senior people in the General Affairs Department and the Sixth Section, and let them spread the word on their behalf."
When Liu Xian said this, he saw that his son was still a little doubtful, so he simply continued to explain to him: "If Zhaoji Tea House wants to use Di Bao to make an article, it must have some connections in the General Affairs Department or the Sixth Section, because it needs to analyze the inside story for the tea guests. They will also try their best to find out the story behind each message. In this way, the story that Mr. Gao asked someone to spread on his behalf was naturally found out by Zhao Ji Tea House, and then told by Dr. Tea."
"Oh, that's it." Liu Wei finally understood, but he immediately had a new question: "But why did Mr. Gao do this? Doesn't he find it troublesome to do this...?"
