Originally, when he received the report, the Jingzhao Mansion Yin, who had just received the good news of his promotion, was hugging Xinna's seventh concubine in the inner room, and was drinking in a hurry to celebrate. As a result, as soon as he heard the news, Lord Fu Yin, who was in a hurry and was about to pick up a gun and get on the horse, was so frightened that he almost became a difficult brother with the little marquis.

was afraid that his dream of being promoted to an official and making a fortune had not yet been realized, so he was driven home to eat old rice according to the previous crime of unfavorable governance, and this Lord Yin of the Mansion was quite hardworking. The entire Luoyang City was almost turned upside down, and the people of both black and white were mobilized to arrest people, and the four doors were closed and the iron horses came out together.

If he wasn't afraid that this matter would cause trouble to the emperor, he would be even more unlucky. And if he has no order to mobilize the garrison, I am afraid that he would have asked for help from the palace commander in charge of the capital garrison, and with the help of the power of the capital garrison, the murderer would be arrested. But even so, the entire capital has been tossed at this time.

Back then, Huang Qiong, the emperor Laozi, sat firmly on the throne. In order to prevent the recurrence of those who abuse power and support the army and respect themselves, a major adjustment has been made to the jurisdiction of the entire army. The division of labor between the Privy Council and the Ministry of War was readjusted, and the Privy Council was in charge of the national military affairs, border guards, and military orders. The original right to transfer troops and the right to transfer military attachés were given to the Ministry of War from the Privy Council.

The military department secretary who is in charge of the selection of military attachés, military registration, ordnance, and military orders, as well as local military and political affairs, will all be changed to civilian officials from the two ranks of jinshi. In other words, the operational command power should be completely separated from the management power in peacetime. Although the Privy Council has military power over the whole country, it has no personnel power.

Personnel powers, including the transfer of money, the selection of officers and soldiers, the manufacture of ordnance, and so on, are all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Although the Privy Council also controls the border armies in the north and west, there are only so many troops that can be directly commanded. In addition, the personnel deployment and troop transfer of the border army also need to be jointly handled by the Ministry of War.

That is to say, without the seal of the Ministry of War, any order issued by the Privy Council alone is not counted. In this way, it turned out that in addition to the local guards, the Privy Council, which commanded all the military horses of Daqi, had quite limited authority. The military power was divided into two, so that the emperor directly controlled the military power in his own hands,

The most important thing is that without financial power, those who want autocratic power cannot control the army. This is a bit like the difference between the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff in later generations, the Ministry of Defense is in charge of the military and political affairs of the whole country, but the command is in the General Staff. It's just that in this era, the level between the two has been reversed.

As the chief of the general staff, the Privy Council envoy is higher in rank than the secretary of the military department who is the minister of defense. Not only that, Huang Qiong's father also stipulated that the privy envoy, although he also served as the governor, was equivalent to the deputy minister. However, with the secretary of the military department, no one person shall serve as the secretary. The military attache can only sit as a deputy envoy at the most, and the main position must be held by a civilian official, and it must be from a two-rank jinshi.

At the same time, the palace front division was set up, and the most elite troops were stationed inside and outside the capital, which were directly controlled by the emperor. As a result, it is almost impossible for both civilian and military generals to fully grasp military power. As for the former commander in charge of the country's military affairs, the Tai Lieutenant, who was still under his jurisdiction as the secretary of the Ministry of War, has changed from a real position to a fictitious title, and no longer has any real power.

After doing so much, the emperor was not enough. He also issued repeated decrees strictly ordering local officials, except in special circumstances such as suppressing bandits or counterinsurgency, to mobilize a maximum of 1,500 local guards without requesting a decree under the joint signature of the three envoys of the local pacification envoy, the political envoy, and the jiedu envoy.

The ministers, including the ministers of the province of Zhongshu and the Privy Council, are not allowed to mobilize more than 500 troops without a request. As for the mobilization of more than 100 troops in the capital garrison, military attachés from the sixth rank and above must ask for a request. Transfers without purpose are regarded as rebellion. The 3,000 Jinwu Guards, who were responsible for the security and patrol of the capital, were also transferred from the military department to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple.

In addition to a major adjustment to the military command, the four battalions in the capital that were originally under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, the 50,000 troops under the jurisdiction of the Western Capital Garrison stationed in Chang'an, Xijing, and the eight armies under the forbidden army were separated. The commander-in-chief was not responsible to the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, but was directly to the emperor's direct military advisory corps, the newly established Imperial Division.

Even this palace commander, who was in charge of the nobles, only had day-to-day management rights over several major battalions. The rest of the personnel and financial rights are all in the military department. In wartime, the four major battalions need to send troops, and the orders of the front division of the palace also need to be signed by the secretary of the military department and the privy envoy. The commanders of the four battalions were also subject to the supervision of the civilian officials sent by the military headquarters.

There is not one but three civil officials in the major battalions, who are the commanders of the military department, and supervise the food and salary and military selection. In addition to the commander of the governor, Tongzhi is more of a supervisor of the army, and the transfer order needs to be attached to the name before it takes effect. The other two were in charge of the distribution of food and salaries for the major battalions, and the recommendation and selection of military attachés who were vacant.

Officials at all levels of the palace department were appointed by the emperor himself from among the descendants of the founding nobles of the military attache in the court. Not only the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, but also the Zhongshu Province and the Shangshu Province have no right to intervene, and even the crown prince and the kings are not allowed to intervene unless they are ordered to do so. The emperor made such a few hands, which can be said to be firmly in the hands of the military.

If this governor wants to use the garrison to assist in the arrest of the murderer, he must ask the emperor for a decree, which means that the case must be reported. But in this way, it is easy for the emperor to doubt the security of the capital. If this is remembered by the emperor, I am afraid that I will have no hope for promotion in the future, and it would be good not to even go home early to retire.

Whether the Wuchang Houfu reported it or not, this is not a matter for him to worry about. But no matter what, you can't take the initiative to carry this pot on your back. This guy pondered for a long time, but in the end he still didn't make up his mind to ask for help from the front of the palace. Even the master's request to ask Jin Wuwei for help was rejected by him.

Fortunately, when Huang Qiong's mother and son were doing it, the surrounding onlookers were taking pictures of the power of Wuchang Houfu, and no one dared to act bravely. When I saw this little marquis who was used to robbing men and women in the capital, he was completely cleaned up, although most people shouted in their hearts. But after all, not everyone, they are all kind-hearted people.

When Huang Qiong's mother and son left, there were a few people who tended to be inflammatory, thinking that this was an opportunity for them to climb high branches. So they went separately, two went to follow Huang Qiong's mother and son, and one went to Wuchang Marquis Mansion to report the news, and went to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case. There were also two people, who stayed there to guard the little marquis who had passed out in a coma.

Just after receiving the report of the righteous and courageous people, they spontaneously followed the murderer. Thinking that solving the case was already the dawn of reappearance, this Fu Yin took the chief catcher of Jingzhao Mansion and a group of officials to the scene where he found the two righteous and brave people, but he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, as if he was poured a basin of cold water from head to foot in the third and ninth days.

Actually, it wasn't anything, but the two stalkers didn't go far before they were knocked unconscious in an alley. And these two guys, don't talk about the whereabouts of the murderer, even who knocked him unconscious. In other words, these two can't provide anything useful.

What kind of person is Huang Qiong's mother? Although they are in a time of emotional instability at the moment, the clumsy tracking skills of the two guys still didn't go far before they were discovered. Huang Qiong's mother didn't even take action herself, just two small stones, and let these two guys fall unconscious on the ground until they were woken up by a basin of water.

Having lost the trace of the murderer, this governor had no choice but to send more people on the one hand to increase the search for the capital. On the one hand, the hotel owner, plus those who thought they could take the opportunity to climb the high branches, but now they were tortured by the righteous and brave people who were used as scapegoats.

It's just that the poor shopkeeper who saw this little marquis, knew that something bad was going to happen after entering his store, and hid out with his buddies early, where did he know the person who did it? Although he was beaten to the death, there was really nothing to give about. In the end, he spent a lot of money and took the path of this brother-in-law to save his life.

Of course, this is all a later matter, and Huang Qiong's mother and son, who have returned to the inn to rest at this time, don't know. And after returning to the inn, looking at Huang Qiong's puzzled gaze, her mother stood up and walked to the window, pondering for a long time before speaking: "Last night, the person I took you to worship was none other than your grandfather. ”

"Although your maternal grandfather's family was not born from the dragon with Emperor Taizu, it can be regarded as having made some contributions to the southern expedition during the reign of Xuanzong, and there is a hereditary military attache from the seventh rank. Your grandfather has been fighting in the border army since he was fifteen years old. At the age of eighteen, he was promoted to the position of lieutenant with 300 cavalry and defeated more than 1,000 elite cavalry of the Liao army. ”

"When he was twenty-one years old, he was serving as the governor of Yanshan Mansion, and he was encountering a large-scale invasion of the Liao army, and he broke more than 10,000 Liao troops in Yanshan Mansion with more than 3,000 iron horses. Jigong was successively promoted to the garrison of Jizhou, the defense envoy of the two towns of Yanshan and Yunzhou, and then transferred to Longyou to serve as the commander of Yumen Pass. During his tenure at Yumen Pass, he defeated the strong with the weak, defeated the invading Tubo and Uighur coalition forces of tens of thousands, and pursued all the way to Qinghai Lake. ”

"He killed more than 50,000 Tibetan and Uighur armies, captured hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, and more than 100,000 men and women. and recovered the Qinghai land that was attacked by Tubo in the last years of Zilizong. If you stop there, your grandfather can be regarded as a famous general, and he can start and finish well. But sometimes, people are often dazzled by the credit they have achieved. ”

"After the Battle of Qinghai, your grandfather was transferred back to the capital with military merits and just over forty years old, and first served as the left waiter of the military department and the acting secretary of the military department. After Emperor Sejong succeeded to the throne, because the old generals of the dynasty gradually withered, the descendants of the founding fathers were so corrupted that they couldn't ride horses, and they relied more on your grandfather. Just after forty-five, he became a privy envoy and was crowned Huaiyang Hou. ”

"When Emperor Shizong thought that Emperor Taizong moved the capital to Luoyang, based on the Luoyang Palace of the Tang Dynasty before that year, the Luoyang Palace, which only added part of the palace, was too old, and although the regulations were more than grand, but the magnificence was not as good as the Daming Palace of Chang'an, so he wanted to rebuild a new palace in the east of Luoyang City."

"It was a great drought in the world, and all the ministers and ministers opposed Emperor Sejong's idea, and only your grandfather supported Emperor Sejong. He personally went into battle, mobilized more than 100,000 craftsmen and soldiers in the name of work-for-relief, and spent three full years to build Yongfu Palace for Emperor Sejong with a level of luxury and sophistication far beyond the old Yongchang Palace where we live now. ”

"After this incident, Emperor Sejong trusted your grandfather even more. Crowned your grandfather as a lieutenant, Shangshu's left servant and privy envoy, and made him the prince of Huaiyang County. It is equivalent to completely handing over the military power of the entire Great Qi to your grandfather. At that time, the only military secretary who could balance your grandfather was your grandfather's old subordinate in Yanshan Mansion. ”
