Chapter 399: The Prime Minister Shows His Head

The manpower to supplement the rear army of the Shenwu Army can only be selected from the united soldiers in Hedong County and Fengyi County, and the united soldiers were responsible for the logistical support work during the first war in Jiangzhou, and they have more or less direct or indirect combat experience, and now they can just save the time for recruit training. www.biquge.info He has been responsible for the reorganization and training of the new army since he entered the Longwu Army and served as the chief of history under Chen Xuanli, and later after being merged into the Shenwu Army, Qin Jin still made him responsible for the training of new recruits.

Chen Qianli is familiar with the work of recruit training, and Qin Jin does not want to leave them idle, so he still reuses them to a limited extent.

After the end of the First World War in Jiangzhou, Pei Jing had specially sought out Qin and Jin secret agents, and his main purpose was to completely drive Chen Qianli out of the Shenwu Army.

These cognitions, Qin Jin was already clear as early as the beginning of his appointment as Feng Yijun's Taishou, and the reason why he still entrusted Chen Qianli with a limited amount of important responsibilities was because there were too few people available under him, and if everything was done with the people he trusted the most, then the scale of the Shenwu Army would never have developed to this day.

It was Qin Jin who chose another path other than cronyism, and he was able to unite the former enemy of Huangfu Ke closely around him, and defeated Shi Siming's rebels in the south of Hedong Province, so that the Tang Dynasty finally gained a firm foothold in Hedong.

Otherwise, I'm afraid they are still struggling and groping in Pujinkou.

Therefore, although he was apprehensive about some people, Qin Jin still let go of his hands and feet, as long as he placed it in the right position, the rewards would be extremely rich.

For example, Shi Sun Anping, the magistrate of Hedong County, Qin Jin has already petitioned the imperial court to promote his presiding ruler Cizhou as the Taishou, and the Huangfu Ke is also an envoy, and Qin Jin also suggested to the imperial court that he should be appointed as the Taishou of Jiangzhou.

In this way, each has its own gains, and the Shenwu Army has also been developed to the greatest extent in substance.

The handing over of the newly leveled Jiangzhou and Cizhou to others aroused great dissatisfaction among the generals within the Shenwu Army, believing that Qin Jin was giving over the fruits of victory to others. In an internal meeting of the Shenwu Army, Lu Qi, the former commander-in-chief, openly complained to Qin Jin.

Including Pei Jing, although he didn't say it, he was also a little disapproving.

"So that the king is so generous, it's like the Shenwu Army is making wedding clothes for others!"

This is not that Qin Jin is willing to do this, if possible, he is willing to recommend Lu Qi as the Taishou of Jiangzhou and let Pei Jing go to Cizhou to be the Taishou. However, the imperial court was not opened by the Qin and Jin families, and if he recommended his cronies to such two important states and counties, it would only make the Son of Heaven think that he was inviting people to buy people's hearts and cultivate strength for himself, and the imperial court would not agree to such an unruly suggestion at all, and would definitely select another candidate who was reassuring to the imperial court. Therefore, instead of putting the initiative of selecting the candidates for the Taishou of the two states and counties in the hands of the imperial court, it is better to take it into your own hands and select a few people who are trusted by the imperial court and have a very close attitude towards the Shenwu Army.

Undoubtedly, Shi Sun Anping, the former magistrate of Hedong County, and Huang Fu Ke are the most suitable candidates.

Sun Anping originally abandoned the official in Hedong and fled, and he wanted to punish the crime after further investigation, and this person had neither a backer nor a background, and he was from the same humble background as Qin Jin, and he had been an official for nearly 30 years before he climbed to the position of the county magistrate, and it was already even more difficult to go further. In this way, Qin Jin not only has the grace of saving his life, but also the grace of support. Therefore, only when this person stands on the same road as Qin Jin can he sit in the position of Taishou.

As for Huangfu Ke, he originally had the post of the Son of Heaven, but he was willing to cooperate with the Shenwu Army, and played a pivotal role in the Battle of Jiangzhou.

Qin Jin didn't want to say all of the above in public, but he still had to let Lu Qi and Pei Jing, who he relied on the most, understand that his work was really the most beneficial choice for the Shenwu Army.

Therefore, after the meeting ended, Qin Jin specially kept these two people.

"It's not that Qin is making wedding clothes for others, on the contrary, he is fighting for the greatest interests of our Shenwu Army......"

When Qin Jin told his good intentions together, the two of them suddenly realized that Qin Envoy Jun had another great use for them.

"I have been operating in the political hall, and I plan to set up a wartime camp in Hedong, and all the military, political and financial powers of the counties and counties within the jurisdiction will be under the control of the observation envoys, so that after the unification of the military and political orders, the suppression of the rebellion will naturally avoid the embarrassing situation of local affairs!"

"If you are far-sighted, you will be ashamed of yourself!"

When Lu Qi said this, his face showed a little shame. If Qin Envoy Jun's plan succeeds, then the real power of the state and county Taishou will be further deprived, even if it is handed over to someone outside the Shenwu Army.

In fact, what he was dissatisfied with was only that Qin Jin handed over Cizhou and Jiangzhou to people outside the non-Shenwu Army, in case these people crossed the river and demolished the bridge, wouldn't they make wedding clothes for others, and the chickens and eggs were beaten?

"Could it be that the envoy wants to be this observer?"

Although Pei Jing didn't understand what this observation was, he understood that since he had mastered the local military, political and financial powers, it was just a change of name.

"Definitely!"

Facing the expectant gazes of the two people, Qin Jin shook his head again. It is too difficult for him to make this observation in person, and it will not be approved from the political hall to the Son of Heaven. Therefore, from the very beginning, Qin Jin had no intention of seeking this position for himself.

Now after all, it is not the end of the Tang Dynasty in history, there is everything with military power in hand, and the sealing of the imperial court is just a posthumous recognition. At this time, after all, less than a year after the An Lushan rebellion, the central government of the Tang Dynasty was still highly centralized, and although its prestige was declining, it still raised its arms and shouted, and the world was subordinate. In other words, although the current Tang Dynasty is going downhill, it will not necessarily enter a dead end of feudal towns.

In this regard, Qin Jin's mood was ambivalent, it was clear that the Tang Dynasty had entered the dead-end of the feudal town, which was the most beneficial to him, but he still hoped that this day would never come.

It's just that when some things are out of the way, it's easy to think about it, and once it's involved, what you do may not be against your will. For example, the wartime operations of the Qin and Jin dynasties in the middle of the dynasty will only lead the Tang Dynasty to the fast track of separating feudal towns.

But what can be done, if this is not done, the Shenwu army may be torn to pieces in the internal struggle of the Tang Dynasty, like the Longwu army, and in the end there will not be even bones left, and he himself may die without a place to bury.

From the first day he came to the Tang Dynasty, Qin Jin was facing this difficult choice every moment, just like the situation of sailing against the current and retreating if he did not advance, he could only choose to face the difficulties, and if he slackened a little, he might be spit on in the turbulent undercurrent.

"The Observer can only be filled by eunuchs!"

As soon as these words came out, Pei Jing and Lu Qi were stunned.

"Eunuch?"

Qin Jin nodded.

"It is the eunuch, only the eunuch is the observer, can he gain the trust of the Son of Heaven, and can make the Son of Heaven agree to the advice of the wartime action!"

Qin Jin also knew very well that if the book was written by himself, the Son of Heaven would not agree to it 100%, but if the book was written by the prime minister of the political affairs hall, it would be another matter.

……

In Xingqing Palace, Chang'an, Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, suddenly discovered that he had always underestimated Wei Fangjin, the prime minister who had been unknown in the political hall. Wei Fangjin was in charge of investigating the case of Gao Xianzhi's rumors, and found that most of the rumors were inextricably linked to the power struggle of the imperial court, in other words, the internal troubles were far higher than the external ones.

However, Wei Fangjin still had reservations in the end, as the so-called three-foot waves are windless, although the vast majority of people are fishing in troubled waters, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no shadow of the thief rebels. Moreover, Wei Fangjin also cited Gao Xianzhi's yang and yin violations to the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven once ordered Gao Xianzhi to take advantage of the victory to launch a counterattack, and then counterattack the eastern capital Luoyang. But the result was that Gao Xianzhi had no other actions except for large-scale dispatch of the army. This annoyed Li Longji and further hurt his self-esteem.

If Yang Guozhong was responsible for this move, Li Longji would still suspect that there would be a communiqué and a personal vendetta, but Wei Fangjin has never had interests with Gao Xianzhi, so his credibility is naturally higher.

At the right time, Wei Fangjin's astonishing actions were repeated again and again, and today he actually wrote again and again.

Speaking of the victories of the Shenwu Army in Hedong Province, in order to further strengthen the combat power of the first and strengthen the effective control of the imperial court over the local area, it is recommended that wartime Xingyuan be established in each county engaged with the enemy, and Xingyuan will govern the military, political and financial power of several or more than a dozen counties, so as to concentrate all forces to prevent all parties from hindering each other because of selfish interests, and repeating the mistakes made after the uprising in more than a dozen counties in Hebei Province.

After that, Xingyuan set up an observer envoy, who was selected by the Son of Heaven to serve as a right-hand servant, and was only responsible to the Son of Heaven.

At first, Li Longji didn't have any special feelings about this suggestion, but in the end, the Son of Heaven served as an observer, and this article made him feel like a treasure.

Although Li Longji is now the Son of Heaven, he has the lowest sense of security in his life, and he is always on guard against suspicion of whether the important ministers have selfish intentions, and how to balance and dilute the power in their hands to prevent these people from acting unsubordinate.

However, Wei Fangjin's words woke up the people in the dream, instead of doubting his subordinates every day, it is better to use those eunuchs who have no descendants and no families, the eunuchs have nothing, and their selfish hearts are naturally much weaker than those of the hundred officials.

At this time, Li Longji really felt that Wei Fangjin was an extremely lovely courtier, and in the past, he thought that this person was a pedantic prime minister like Wei Jiansu, but he didn't expect that he had been hiding it all along.

"Xuanmen served, Wei Fang entered the ......"

Li Longji didn't know that this prime minister, who was very pleasing to him, was traveling in the same car with Yang Guozhong......
