readx;? Everything has to be done in moderation, Wang Chong is sure, just by virtue of his performance just now, even if he doesn't do anything in the future, grandpa will definitely pay attention to and cultivate himself, just like the eldest brother and second brother. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, the next development exceeded Wang Chong's expectations.
"Er, what are you discussing in the court now?"
The old man was chatting with a group of old subordinates, and suddenly asked about Uncle Wang. "If you live in a temple, you will worry about its people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about its king", although a group of old subordinates have unloaded their rights, but the affairs in the court have always been the object of their concern.
Wang Gan's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated for a moment and changed his attention again.
"There's nothing going on lately, it's just that the court is discussing changing the capital to the festival and setting up the ten major festival envoys!"
"Buzz!"
Hearing the three words of Jiedu, Wang Chong was shocked, raised his head violently, and his heart was like a hurricane transiting, setting off a stormy wave.
"Temperance Envoy"!
Wang Chong never expected that he would hear these three words here. This is the "source of trouble" for the Empire. Wang Chong has always known about this matter, but he has never known when it originated.
Because by the time Wang Chong realized this, the wood had already been completed, and the catastrophe had been completed. Wang Chong, like everyone else, only knows the result, but he doesn't know his ins and outs.
However, Wang Chong never expected that he would hear the words "Jiedu Envoy" in this kind of room, and judging from the words of Uncle Wang Gan, this matter has begun to germinate.
"The festival envoy, the festival envoy, is actually the festival degree envoy......"
Wang Chong muttered to himself in his heart, and there was a raging storm. The matter of "Concubine Taizhen" attracted the attention of the Manchu Dynasty, and Wang Chong was sure that what the uncle had just wanted to say and stopped must be the incident of Concubine Taizhen.
However, the superficial noise concealed the real crisis, and when everyone's attention was drawn to the matter of "Taizhen Concubine", no one noticed that the evil of the empire had germinated.
Just like Wang Chong, if it weren't for the uncle mentioning it, he wouldn't have noticed a major event that would be enough to collapse the empire in the future.
Wang Chong knew that the matter of "Concubine Taizhen" was big, but compared with the matter of "Jie Du Envoy", it was completely trivial and impossible to measure.
The Taizhen Concubine incident only affected the fate of the King of Qi and the Wang family, but the "Jiedu Envoy Incident" affected the fortune of the entire Middle-earth Divine Continent!
However, Wang Chong's gaze swept around, uncle, grandfather, Ye Lao, Hu Gong, Ma Lao...... A group of people apparently did not yet anticipate the seriousness of this matter.
Even if it is his eldest uncle, Wang Gan, he is an important minister in the court, and he knows this matter the most deeply and thoroughly. However, even he, when he talked about this matter, he was only touched, and he did not really realize the seriousness and danger of this matter!
"Eldest Prince, what's going on with the festival envoy?"
In the conference hall, Ye Lao asked, frowning slightly.
"This is the latest initiative in the imperial court, Xi and Khitan in the northeast, Goguryeo, Eastern and Western Turkic Khanate in the north, Uszang in the west, Erhai Liuzhao in the south, Dashi and Tiaozhi in the west of Broken Leaf City and Shule City, have been rising rapidly in recent years, one by one is becoming more and more powerful, more and more restless, and more and more aggressive. ”
Hearing that Ye Lao, Wang Gen was not secretive, so he told the things about the Jiedu envoy one by one:
"The eight empires are facing enemies, and now the pressure is increasing. Therefore, consider withdrawing the capital protection and setting up a jiedu envoy, in addition to concurrently serving the original capital protection duties, in addition to each of them commanding two additional continents, everything is cheap, mainly to resist foreign enemies!"
"Right now, the Prime Minister is doing his best to make this happen. In addition, the Prime Minister is proposing to break the previous convention, meritocracy, and reuse the Hu people to defend against the border invaders!"
Rumble!
Hearing the last sentence, Wang Chong's heart seemed to set off a twelve-magnitude earthquake, and there was a stormy wave. The real danger always lurks beneath the calm manifestation.
The eldest uncle is extremely politically sensitive, but I am afraid that even he is not aware of the real purpose of the Prime Minister's proposal behind it.
"Break the previous convention, only move talents, and reuse Hu people to resist the border crown", behind these nineteen words, there is another saying in history, called "the strategy to eliminate the border generals"!
Blessings are incomparable, disasters are not one-way, and the "moderation policy" plus the reuse of Hu people, "the strategy of eliminating the entry of border generals" has become the two sharp knives that pierced the heart of the empire.
It has also become the two major triggers for the rapid collapse of this empire!
"I'm afraid this strategy is a bit inappropriate, the empire has never had a precedent for reusing the Hu people's border generals. Moreover, the border generals were in charge of the administration, which had no precedent in the previous dynasty. ”
Zhao Laodao on the side, he used to be in charge of logistics and military affairs, and instinctively felt that there was something wrong here. However, I just felt that it was a bit inappropriate for the Hu people to have local administrative power, and I didn't think much about it.
"This is also what the Holy Emperor means. ”
Uncle Wang Yan was a little helpless and said:
"I have privately heard that the prime minister suggested to His Majesty that Wenchen is too cowardly, and does not have the courage of a general. It is better to appoint those hard-working Hu people, who are brave by nature and are accustomed to fighting, and if they are born in a cold and bitter background, they will not form a party. If Your Majesty is gracious, these people will surely die for it. When His Majesty heard about it, he thought it made sense, so he was already seriously considering it. ”
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, if this is the case, it involves His Majesty, then it is difficult to say about this matter. Because those who oppose it are tantamount to opposing His Majesty the Holy Emperor.
And this strategy isn't necessarily wrong.
"It is not impossible to change the protection of the capital to the envoy of moderation and raze to raze and raze. Moreover, the Hu people are brave and aggressive, and after so many years in the Tang Dynasty, these attached Hu people have long been integrated into Middle-earth. In the past, there was Emperor Taizong's Qibi He Li, Ashina Sheer, and then there was the stubborn thinking force of this dynasty, Fumeng Lingcha, these are all loyal ministers of the imperial court. If it is used well, as the prime minister said, those Hu generals will definitely be killed. ”
Hu Gong nodded.
As an old minister, you must learn not to resist the Son of Heaven in some things that are not very important, which is the way of being a minister and the way of officialdom.
Although there are some problems with the reuse of Hu people, Hu Gong does not think it is too much of a problem.
"Well, as long as this strategy is executed properly, it can actually be done. ”
"Well, the fact that the six major capital protectors have been in action for nearly a hundred years. It's time for a reform!"
"Set up a temperance envoy, act cheaply, and give priority to defending against foreign enemies. In this way, it can also avoid the back-and-forth of official documents and the delay in timing. It's not entirely without merit. ”
......
The other elders also nodded.
For so many years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been more and more Hu people attached. Like Qi Bi He Li in the Taizong period, he led the army to fight, and he probably killed more Hu people than his clansmen.
Moreover, influenced by the culture of Middle-earth, many Hu people are more and more influenced by the Han people, and even their names are taken by Han names, like Bai Xiaode, if you don't know it, who will know that he is the prince of Qiuzi, and is often summoned by His Majesty to meet in the palace.
Compared to their original ethnic group, these attached Hu people have changed a lot.
Even among the troops in the border areas, there were many Hu people who joined the army, and they fought with the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates, and they were not at all soft.
Therefore, the elders will never have too many prejudices about this.
Moreover, it is a taboo for the past dynasties to fight for the party, and the old Zhou Chang in the previous dynasty was because of the party, and even the old Song King squatted in prison for three months, suffering a lot of flesh and skin.
Everybody knows that.
His Majesty wants to put an end to forming parties for personal gain and reusing the Hu people, which is not unacceptable.
The more Wang Chong listened, the more ugly his face became, and in the end, his face changed.
The people outside are just that, the people in this chamber are all old ministers of the imperial court, and they are extremely prescient in military affairs.
They were able to perceive the threat of the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates in the north, but none of them were aware of the dangers of the policy of "Jiedu Envoys" and the policy of "reusing the Hu people".
Even these old subordinates of grandpa, let alone the people in the court.
Wang Chong finally knew how the policy in the court was introduced.
"No! This is absolutely impossible!-"
Wang Chong couldn't hold back any longer. If no one in this council hall today can realize the danger of this matter, then no one in the entire imperial court and the whole world will be able to realize it anymore.
When the wood is ready, the overall situation has been decided. At that time, it was too late to say anything!
"If you say too much, you will lose", Wang Chong had already made up his mind and didn't say more. But if this kind of thing is not said, then Wang Chong will not be able to forgive himself in the future.
"Buzz!"
was interjected by Wang Chong, and the entire conference hall suddenly fell silent, and all eyes looked at Wang Chong, who was sitting quietly beside Ye Lao.
"Young Master Chong?!"
The elders in the room looked surprised.
Wang Chong's sudden outburst startled everyone in the room. Even "Ye Lao", who was close at hand, turned his head and looked at Wang Chong in surprise.
Wang Chong gave him a very good impression before, that is, he was polite, insightful, and very respectful to the elders. But his performance at this time was completely unexpected.
After the elders chatted, did not ask him, and had already reached an agreement on the matter of the Jiedu envoy, Wang Zheng suddenly jumped out, which can be said to be extremely reckless and extremely impolite.
"Wang Chong, what are you doing here? In front of the elders, do you have the right to speak? Why don't you sit down for me!"
Wang Gan's face also changed suddenly, and his whole face turned black.
finally left a good impression on the elders, didn't Wang Chong destroy his future?
Above the lobby, the old man didn't speak, but a pair of thick white eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle. The third son, Wang Yan, gave him a very good impression.
But no matter how good it is, it's better to have a good reason to collide with your elders on such an occasion!
"Hahaha, what are you doing so seriously, Young Master Chong, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
In the end, he was still full of killing aura, and Ye Lao, who was born in the army, opened his mouth and laughed to ease the atmosphere. He still has a good impression of Wang Chong.
Although he was surprised by Wang Chong's abruptness, Ye Tong still deeply believed that this kid must have some reason to do this.
The children of the Nine Princes family don't look like the kind of people who are reckless and impolite!
