Great Tang Broom Star

Shen Qiu was reprimanded, and left the palace in a dejected manner, just as Jia Pingan was waiting outside to enter the palace.

"Old Shen, you..." Jia Pingan said in surprise, "Why are you so disgraced?"

We don't know either!

Shen Qiu is loyal, but he doesn't know much about politics and politics... If he knows more, there is a high probability that the emperor will be replaced.

"Last night, Mingjing went to Jia's house. After some persuasion, I thought that I should not embarrass Baiqi, so I agreed to send the prisoner there. Will the confession come out?"

Shen Qiu nodded, "It's out, it really is a secret spy."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Jia Pingan comforted him solemnly, but he almost broke his stomach with a smile.

Later, Jia Ping'an followed the prime ministers into the palace.

Ren Yaxiang felt a headache seeing him, "Xiao Jia, this is..."

The bosses of the two military departments entered the palace together, which was inconsistent no matter how they looked.

"I have something to report to Your Majesty."

Jia Pingan was very tight-lipped.

Li Yifu sneered and said, "Is this trying to deal with someone?"

Someone beside him said maliciously: "I will deal with you."

Gannie!

Li Yifu knew it was Xu Jingzong without looking back.

This treacherous minister, Xu, never had any good words, and said whatever came to his mind.

When seeing Jia Ping'an, Li Zhi was also a little guilty.

Could it be that he felt wronged and came to complain?

Before the discussion started, Jia Pingan stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, after the incident of slandering the minister happened, the minister kept a close eye on a caravan and sent people to investigate several times. Last night they hosted a banquet for the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, and the minister hid next door. Informed the Tibetan spy..."

"Hmm!" Li Zhi's eyes turned cold, "Who?"

Who doesn't matter!

Jia Ping'an continued: "I immediately took down those secret spies and businessmen,

Now they are riding a hundred horses. Your Majesty, I just have a suggestion. "

This courtier is not bad, at least he didn't complain.

Li Zhi felt relieved.

No wonder that shrew wanted to protect him.

"Your Majesty, most of those businessmen are from the families of powerful military generals, but last night they casually talked about the secrets of the Tang Dynasty. The plan is very clear..."

Li Zhi's face was ashen, "Rebellious officials and thieves! You should be killed!"

The prime ministers were all outraged.

Ren Yaxiang said solemnly: "Your Majesty, these people should be killed, and all family members should be exiled."

"Leaking secrets is an unforgivable crime!"

"What are you waiting for if you don't kill?"

A group of bigwigs spit saliva wildly.

Jia Pingan coughed dryly and continued to spray.

"That... I haven't finished yet."

After everyone quieted down, Jia Pingan said: "The secret agent last night was nothing more than flattery, plus a lot of persuasion, so that those businessmen scrambled to reveal the secrets of the Tang Dynasty... I have a doubt."

Jia Pingan said solemnly: "Those dignitaries and generals...what do they think are the secrets of the Tang Dynasty? Their parents are short-sighted? They even casually told their families these secrets... If there is a war, the Tubo knows the Tang Dynasty like the back of their hands, so how can we fight this battle?"

Boom!

The prime ministers seemed to hear the thunder roaring above the nine heavens, and their complexions changed.

Who doesn't like to pretend to be tough these days? Seeing friends, meeting so-and-so... casually talking about national affairs, how about pretending this?

Awesome!

Looking at those people, especially the admiring eyes of women, the man is instantly satisfied.

Jia Pingan was furious, "That's a secret of the Tang Dynasty. It's not that you won the favor of a prostitute and it's worth showing off. Even the secrets are revealed casually. Such a person...how did he climb to the top?"

This is a bit of a map shot!

Li Yifu coughed dryly.

But this was not the time to argue, Jia Pingan glanced at him, his eyes were as sharp as knives.

"Li Xiang feels that this matter can still be discussed? Or is it not an example!" Jia Ping'an was really angry, "If such people are not severely punished, who will care about the secrets next time? The people next to the pillow can tell, the servants at home can tell, Even passers-by from Te Niang can say that the secrets of the Tang Dynasty have become a joke in the market, have they thought about the big picture? Never thought about it!"

Li Zhi's face was livid, "I know, I..."

The emperor was furious.

"Reward Jia Ping'an with a horizontal knife and a Mingguang armor!"

what does this mean?

Murderous.

The horizontal knife kills people, and the bright light armor protects people.

The emperor was satisfied with Master Jia and couldn't be more satisfied.

but!

"Who are behind those merchants? Wang Zhongliang went to Baiqi to get the roster."

The emperor is about to make a move.

Congratulations!

But why are the prime ministers so sick?

Jia Pingan asked curiously, "Why are you so upset?"

Master Xu Yu said with a dry smile, "This old man is in a heavy heart."

Even Li Ji nodded, "Yes!"

Li Yifu was unexpectedly not bubbling, and looked at... why his face was pale.

Li Zhi glanced at him, this dog likes to talk a lot, and a bunch of cruel officials under him treat state affairs as small talk.

Li Yifu's heart trembled, and he immediately said righteously: "Your Majesty, this kind of people should be severely punished, and they should be punished severely. I wish to accept this matter."

I took the pot back, okay?

Li Zhi nodded, "That's fine."

How does this seem to be an exception?

The prime ministers all breathed a sigh of relief.

Jia Pingan said earnestly: "Why do great powers fight first? I think it is intelligence. The so-called knowing yourself and knowing the enemy is invincible in every battle. The Tang Dynasty has secret spies, and the enemy country also has secret spies. The so-called misfortune comes from the mouth...Be careful."

Jia Pingan resigned, and Zhou Shanxiang was waiting outside.

"The queen summons."

Sister... I haven't committed any crime recently, have I?

Jia Pingan thought it was okay.

He even had the intention to tease Zhou Shanxiang.

"Will you follow the prince or the queen?"

"Queen."

"Why? Wouldn't it be better to follow the prince? The prince still has a female officer, and he needs a loyal old man like you."

"Queen."

Zhou Shanxiang felt a little resentful.

There are more and more people on the queen's side, each with their own characteristics, some with great strength, some with clever ideas, some quick-witted, some simple and honest... She is gradually lost in the crowd.

"Loyalty is enough."

Jia Pingan reminded her.

"loyalty?"

Jia Pingan said indifferently: "My sister is already capable, and in her eyes, no skill can match the word loyalty."

Zhou Shanxiang was still gloomy.

Arrived at the Queen's later.

"This time you take the overall situation into consideration and understand the general situation. I am very pleased."

Wu Mei smiled and said: "Yesterday Liu Lang said he wanted to study with you!"

Liu Lang Li Xian?

Jia Pingan shivered, "Sister, you know a lot about me...don't delay his knowledge."

That guy is a big deal, don't mess with him.

"You!"

Wu Mei smiled, "It's up to you. By the way, the crown prince has recently been in charge of politics, and he asked a question in the morning, why did the Tang Dynasty go all over the place... This topic is too big, and he can't understand what I said, so he just asked Shouting that uncle must know."

Jia Ping'an's heart warmed slightly, "I'll talk to him later."

Wu Mei nodded, and then dealt with the political affairs.

Jia Pingan sat bored, got up and went out for a walk.

Zhou Shanxiang's mind was wandering outside.

There are more and more people around the queen, what should I do?

The palace is ruthless, if I slip, who will care about me?

Today's scenery, tomorrow's sunset, this is the normal state in the palace.

But how can a person who has had a good time endure abjection?

Zhou Shanxiang also couldn't bear it.

A gust of wind blew in.

Zhou Shan thought of two words like a ghost.

loyalty!

Without hesitation, she took two steps forward and stood in front of the table. Her clothes fluttered in the strong wind, her long hair fluttered, and she was very cold, but she remained motionless.

Wu Mei looked up at her, then lowered her head and continued to deal with political affairs.

Later, after finishing her treatment, she asked, "Where is it safe?"

Zhou Shanxiang did not overtake his competitors this time, and a female official said, "Mr. Jia is taking a walk outside."

Wu Mei smiled and said, "It's just a temperament that can't sit still, just like a child."

Shao Peng came in and said with a smile: "Queen, the local government paid tribute to some fresh fruits. I don't know how they grow them. They look quite attractive. Come here, bring them in."

A waiter came in with a food box.

The food box was opened, and there were dozens of small fruits.

Wu Mei's taste has changed a lot since she was pregnant, and she likes to eat fruit recently, but where did she get the fruit in early spring?

"Your Majesty didn't eat any of them, so I asked someone to bring them all over." Shao Peng smiled very comfortably.

Wu Mei ate one and found the sweet and sour taste very good.

Jia Pingan came in just in time, and couldn't help his teeth sore when he saw it, "Sister, be careful if your teeth are sore, you won't even be able to bite the rice."

Wu Mei shook her head, "It's okay to eat more of this, do you want to eat it?"

Jia Pingan waved his hand, "Don't dare to eat this, it's so sour."

Wu Mei smiled, and then ate most of it, leaving a few pieces.

Everyone is staring at it!

It's not leftovers, it's grace!

Whoever gets the rest of the fruit is the queen's confidant.

Wu Mei glanced at everyone.

"Zhou Shanxiang ate it."

Zhou Shanxiang was taken aback.

She glanced at Jia Pingan with mixed feelings in her heart.

Sure enough, loyalty is king!

Mr. Jia, thank you very much.

"His Royal Highness is here."

Li Hong entered the hall, saluted and asked, "How is Aunt today?"

Wu Mei smiled and said: "Okay."

Then he smiled and said, "Uncle hasn't come for a long time."

Why didn't you come?

Last time, he was hung on the door of the bedroom and beaten severely.

Jia Pingan sat down and said with a smile: "I heard that the prince is a little confused about the relationship between countries, and I happen to have some superficial views."

Li Hong sat down, the people around became quiet, and they all looked at Jia Pingan.

How come there is some classroom atmosphere!

"What is a country? To put it simply, it is a group of countless people. This group is led by someone, protected by the army, and has various laws and regulations."

"If you want to know the relationship between countries, you must first know the needs of the country."

This is a lesson in international relations strategy with far-reaching implications.

The face of the prince's entourage changed slightly, and he was listening carefully while making people report to the emperor.

If the point of view of this class is wrong, the impact on the prince is self-evident.

"The country's primary responsibility is to quell internal and external troubles. Where do internal worries come from? It is the ruler's responsibility to feed the people and make them feel better and better.

"Where does the foreign trouble come from?"

Let's get to the point, Li Hong sat up straight, and Jia Pingan did the same.

Wu Mei watched this scene with a smile, but she was also listening.

"Prince, you need to know one knowledge point, what is the world?"

Li Hong thought for a while, "It's a big group composed of many groups."

"So what do you think the relationship between countries should be like?"

"I think..." Li Hong frowned, "Gentlemen say that countries should live in peace with each other, and it won't last long. You can't just conquer, but you have to have friendly exchanges..."

pedantic!

Jia Pingan's brows became more gloomy, "Only the Honghe Temple and the emperor can say such things, why? Because when they said such things, they didn't have such thoughts in their hearts at all."

The expression of the prince's entourage changed.

Isn't this slap too hard?

"Your Majesty, Duke Jia is telling the crown prince about the relationship between countries..."

Li Zhi got up, "Go and see."

When he arrived, it happened that Jia Ping'an was spraying.

"What did you read in history?"

Li Hong said: "I read the rise and fall..."

"Can you find the pattern?"

"Boom and bust."

Yes, not only Jia Pingan nodded and smiled, but also the emperor outside and the queen inside.

"But you didn't see the deeper problems. Let's not talk about the problems in the country today, but talk about the problems between countries. Whenever the Central Plains dynasty first rose, it must be surrounded by powerful enemies. Dogs, Huns, Turks , Liaodong..."

"Immediately there was a fight. The first emperor ordered Meng Tian to lead an army to conquer the fortress, defeated the Xiongnu, and regained the land of Henan. The former Han Dynasty suffered a great deal of courage, and the Han Wu dynasty took revenge, and the Xiongnu collapsed. In this dynasty... the first emperor was heroic, but there was also an alliance of Weishui bowed his head... and then took revenge..."

"But have you noticed? Whenever the enemy is defeated, there will be a trend in the Central Plains Dynasty. A group of courtiers and a group of Confucian scholars are shouting to recuperate, to put swords and guns in the warehouse, to release horses to Nanshan... to use virtue to influence Aliens, be friendly..."

There are really many such people. Since the former Qin Dynasty, their influence has become more and more powerful, and finally became the largest force in the ruling and opposition parties, influencing the policies of great powers.

"What did those so-called virtues come in exchange for?" Jia Pingan squinted and said, "Look at the performance of the Huns after the fall of the former Qin Dynasty. They felt that this was a good opportunity, so they kept attacking and harassing the big man. Look at the aliens after the fall of the former Han Dynasty Those barbarians treat the Han children as military rations, as two-legged sheep...the whole Central Plains has been slaughtered, and there is no human habitation for thousands of miles...What is the virtue at this time?"

Li Hong was shocked.

"Virtue..."

Jia Pingan interrupted him, "The virtues are right in the middle school, the so-called inner saints and outer kings, the so-called Han family's own system... Where have these teachings been thrown away by those gentlemen? The so-called enlightenment is purely whimsical, purely It's the stupid idea of ​​those rotten scholars... who would use it? Do you see if His Majesty can use it? Your Majesty denounced it as Confucianism, and threw those rotten scholars aside with one sentence."

Where did the Tang Dynasty come from?

The previous generations of emperors sneered at the so-called Confucianism, dominated by domineering and supplemented by kingly ways, which created a glorious and prosperous age.

But the imperial examinations gradually prospered, and then Confucian students took the upper hand in the court, the weak wind gradually flourished, and the domineering gradually took the turn of concubines, and finally dissipated.

Of course, Jia Pingan couldn't just sit back and watch the prince be taught to be like that by those idiots, and the empress would not agree either.

"Virtue can only be used to cultivate the folk customs of the country, do you understand? Whoever puts virtue above the court, you can just kill that kind of person... If you kill someone wrong, don't let them go!"

Li Hong blinked his eyes, Wang Zhongliang outside was a little frightened, wondering if the emperor would be annoyed?

But the corner of the emperor's mouth was slightly raised, and he was quite happy.

"Do you know the jungle?"

Li Hong nodded, "Aye said about the hunt, and said he would take me with him next time."

"This is a good thing." Jia Pingan smiled and said, "You will find many rules in the jungle. Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimps. Tigers and wolves eat cattle and sheep, but cattle and sheep eat grass... Prince, this world is a Jungle, if you don't eat people, people will eat you..."

this……

Wu Mei's heart shuddered, but she felt that this metaphor was quite subtle.

The emperor outside felt that this remark was very clever.

"Is that so?"

The prince was surprised.

"Recall the history. Once the Central Plains Dynasty slack off, those seemingly well-behaved and loyal foreign races will immediately transform into tigers and wolves...Look at the former Han, the Han people were almost wiped out, a lesson Is it miserable enough?"

The prince nodded.

He had seen related records in the history books, but it was just a written description, which still made him feel heartbroken.

"Look at those foreign races today who are obedient and obedient, such as the Khitan, they seem to be honest after being beaten a few times, but I dare to say that the Khitan people are always thinking about rushing into the colorful world of the Central Plains...burning, killing, and looting, Do all kinds of evil..."

Li Hong raised his head, "Then what should we do?"

"Always stay strong, always weaken our opponents."

Li Hong pondered for a long time, and asked for a long time: "Uncle, how can we always remain strong? Throughout the ages, dynasties have always flourished and declined. How to avoid this cycle of chaos?"

This question is somewhat generalized and difficult to answer.

Jia Pingan said slowly, "Now that Liaodong is recovering, the enemies of the Tang Dynasty will disappear. Some people even say that when Tubo comes, we can make plans, and if we don't come, we can ignore it... The voice of singing and dancing is very loud! How does the prince feel?" ?”

Li Hong shook his head, "Be careful of Tubo."

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace." Wu Mei thought the prince was good.

"Barely meaning."

Before Jia Ping's voice fell, the queen glanced at her.

"Then what do you say?"

Jia Pingan thought a lot, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings, "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, but when the danger is no longer there, no one will listen to you no matter how you yell. Sing as you sing, dance as you do. The only way is..."

He stared at the prince, and said seriously: "Even if there is no opponent, we must find an opponent for Datang. Even if this opponent is weak, we must take it seriously. The entire court, including civil and military officials, must form a joint force. Looking for an opponent for Datang...

Those who love war will die, and those who forget war will be in danger. Datang must maintain one or two opponents at all times, so that the government and the public can form a consensus... Datang without opponents is not far from being destroyed. "

Li Zhi pondered.

Wang Zhongliang was terrified.

Create opponents for yourself... Isn't this militarism?

"Isn't this militaristic?"

The prince really raised this question.

Jia Pingan smiled and said, "You should ask the former Qin, the former Han, and the former Jin..."

Li Hong's mind suddenly seemed to be beaten by someone, and he woke up suddenly.

"If you forget the battle, you will be in danger! Datang without an opponent will surely perish."
