0371 Pioneer for the king
Since coming to this world, Li Tong has been full of a sense of crisis, and based on the situation at that time, he has established his future thinking, that is, survival and obscene development in the cracks.
With this in mind, all his actions, whether cautious or ostentatious, are actually avoiding the most central and sensitive issue, that is, military power. He would rather organize more than 100,000 government soldiers to die and raise troops in Qinling and Longshang, rather than directly attack the forbidden army system.
Even if I have gained weight recently, I am only starting through the sides of polo, stables, etc., and I am ready to gradually penetrate. Guo Da, an officer in the Thousand Cavalry, can be said to be the first batch of people he came into contact with when he came to this world, but this layer of connection has not been moved, except for the recruitment of Tian Dasheng and other heroes in the market, there is almost no new development and role.
Because Li Tong has always had a deep-rooted idea in his heart, that is, as a child of the Li Tang Sect, he wants to make a living in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and he also wants to meddle in the forbidden army system, which is almost a fantasy.
With such an understanding, the first is naturally a judgment based on his actual situation, and the second is to clearly know that in the original history, it was the Forbidden Army Uprising that ended the rule of his grandmother Wu Zetian.
So in his heart, he magnified his grandmother's control and vigilance against the forbidden army, or exaggerated the value and significance of his own Li Tang bloodline.
But in fact, the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Ya and the Sixteen Armies of the Northern Ya, this whole set of forbidden army system, even since the beginning of the country, has gone through a lot of changes.
Although the system itself cannot be called sophisticated, it is not impossible to bear the risk at all. The frequent occurrence of the Xuanwumen incident is one thing, and Li Chongjun, the crown prince of Zhongzong, is also a bloody lesson.
Even if Li Tong is now promoted by his grandmother and his reputation is not weak, when it comes to the legitimacy of the ceremony, he is far inferior to Li Chongjun, who was already in the East Palace at that time. When Li Chongjun plotted to change, the participants included Li Qianli, the elder of the clan, and many forbidden army generals such as Li Duozuo, the general of Yulin, and finally hated Xuanwumen.
So at the moment, even if Li Tong has a heart, he can't respond to the crowd and change the dynasty. On the contrary, the kings of the Wu clan may not dare to have such thoughts, but they do have such power.
The so-called emperor's mind is a strategy to punish the heart, and it depends not on whether you want to, but whether you can or not.
Yao Yuanchong's inspiration to Li Tong is not limited to this, but also whether his grandmother is willing to let him meddle in the affairs of the forbidden army?
And this can be reflected from Yao Yuanchong. Yao Yuan Chongguan was in charge of the military attaché's honor and life, and the examination and appointment of the middle and lower rank military attachés were in office.
Li Tong was tempted to choose Yao Yuanchong to enter the mansion at the beginning, and it was this person who was greedy, and when this request was approved, he was also quite surprised, but he didn't think about it because of his prejudice.
Yao Yuanchong was a bystander, but he could realize that His Majesty the Holy Emperor was actually not so vigilant in this regard.
What is the most important significance of serving as the general of the Southern Ya? It is not to be able to lead the soldiers of the forbidden army to go on a rampage, but to be able to encircle a group of generals and colonies of the forbidden army, and to play a role at critical moments.
Wu Zetian used a large number of Fan generals to take charge of the north and south ya, and what he valued was the natural estrangement between ethnic groups, so that these Fan generals could not establish their authority in the forbidden army system without the permission of the imperial power.
Quan Xiancheng is not strong, and the military power of the north and south is in hand, but under the promotion of many parties, he was easily killed by a cool official of Lai Junchen. Later, Li Duozuo, as General Zuo Yulin, was directly killed in Xuanwu Gate, which should have been garrisoned by him.
The current Li Tong, even if he is not in charge of the North and South Ya, with Yao Yuanchong as his assistant, he also has channels to directly influence the officers of the two ya. In that case, why not take it a step further and put this energy directly on the table.
Li Tong's own vigilance is too high, and his understanding of this layer of acquiescence is not as clear as Yao Yuanchong's.
He was originally pushed up as a balanced figure, and it is true that diverting the popularity of his fourth uncle is one of the meanings of existence, and it is also his duty to dilute the authority of the two yamen who are too concentrated in the martial family!
Of course, this is just the inference of him and the officials, and whether this is the case or not is still a matter of testing. But if he puts it forward by himself, if he expresses it too directly, it will appear that his desire is too strong, and even if his grandmother already has such an idea, he is afraid that she will be resistant.
What kind of person should come up with it? Wu Youyi in front of you!
Seeing the shock on Wu Youyi's face, Li Tong sighed again, and said in a sincere tone: "Who doesn't love a high position?" But if it is only because of one's own ignorance that it is forcibly blocked, it is unknowing. What's more, the person I avoided the table was still a close friend like you, King Jian'an, who had given me a lot of care. It's just that I am annoyed that I am slow to resign, and I let King Jian'an, you succumb to be a subordinate for a short time! ”
"Big, the king doesn't need to say much, it was my own lonely and narrow plan before, but I didn't expect the king to be really ...... Alas, there is no need to say much about the old things, now that the king has this deed, who can laugh at you and me again! ”
Wu Youyi's face was moved, and he held the scroll and looked at it again and again, and his heart could be described as sincerely grateful. He was reluctant to enter before, and naturally there was another reason, that is, he was ashamed to be the subordinate of the hairy boy of the acting king.
Although even if the king resigns, he is still only a governor, but whether he has this official on his head or not has a completely different meaning.
Even in daily life, a false name has great significance to people, and if you don't believe it, you can just go to the street and pull someone to let him call his father to try. Now that Li Tong has taken the initiative to abdicate the position, it is tantamount to saying, although you are still a son, I am not worthy of being your father, live by yourself.
So Li Tong really dared to pat his chest and say that he was really righteous to Wu Youyi, and a false name did not mean that he would give it up. At least Wu Chenghei and their goods, Wu Youyi, a cousin, has been idle for so long, and he didn't even think about pulling it, let alone making this kind of heart-warming move to push the position and avoid the virtuous.
"This is what I should have done, if I can relieve the anger in King Jian'an's heart a little, I am already deeply grateful, and I really dare not thank you."
Li Tong waved his hand again and said, it can be said that Wu Youyi is digging out his heart and lungs.
After Wu Youyi heard this, he shook his head again and again: "If you don't thank you for this kind of affectionate act, then what righteous deeds can you boast about when the world interacts!" ”
With Li Tong's foreshadowing, the gap between each other gradually disappeared, and Wu Youyi even took the initiative to talk about the old things in Xijing, and the laughter was also full of joy. Although this compensation method is far less affordable than direct financial subsidies, how can you be so short-sighted?
If the acting king also annexed the governor of the state, then the long history of Wu Youyi is only one of the subordinates of the governor's mansion, and he cannot have absolute authority. But now that he is the governor of the capital, he is the actual governor of the capital, and his authority can be greatly relaxed, which is not inferior to the time when he was left behind in Xijing in the old year.
As the atmosphere of each other improved, Li Tong pointed to the book that turned back to the desk, and said with a long sigh: "It is really happy to be able to rebuild the old friendship with King Jian'an. But whether it can be done both ways, there are still two difficult problems. ”
"What's the problem?"
Wu Youyi had already begun to imagine how he would show his strength after going to Bingzhou, and when he heard this, he hurriedly asked again, lest any variables happen and let his dream come to naught.
Seeing Wu Youyi's expression, Li Tong laughed. Any kind of exchange can be effective and become a transaction, provided that both parties have urgent and relevant demands. If it's just a hot shaved head, and a daughter-in-law can't be married, let alone do things.
"I am now the new heir of the emperor's examination, the big position suddenly enjoyed, the people of the time have not ended, they will force the resignation, those who know me say that I can be respectful and can keep, and those who do not know me say that I underestimate the emperor's grace system. And if you resign from this position, how can you replace it? ”
Speaking of this, Li Tong said to Wu Youyi with some embarrassment: "Especially the latter, which is deeply worrying. If a great husband has no power, he is no different from a lamb. I am frank, I wonder if King Jian'an will laugh at my greed? ”
"How could it be! From the old years to the present, I have been trapped by this, like a caged bird looking sadly at the sky. It is human nature for the king to think like this, and he can say frankly that I am intimate. ”
Wu Youyi shook his head after hearing this, and said with deep sympathy.
Li Tong smiled again: "It would be great if King Jian'an could understand me." Now I, just like the old years of Xijing, have a lot of hesitation about people and things, I don't know if the king of Jian'an can teach me where to go? ”
Wu Youyi was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, he was a little confused himself, what wisdom did he have to teach others?
Seeing that Wu Youyi was embarrassed and speechless, Li Tong no longer embarrassed him, and continued: "My own talent is also a little self-aware, rather than forcibly chasing the emptiness of Anbian and guarding the pastoral, it is better to live by the side and stay overnight. The sixteen guards of the southern ya, the armies of the northern ya, you are waiting to be chosen, and the one I hope for is just a seat. Now I am afraid that the king of Wei and others are still narrow-minded and self-respecting, and they are not tolerant, I don't know if the king of Jian'an can help? ”
You want benefits, and of course you have to pay. There are only five metropolitan governors in the whole world, and for your sake, I will directly push one and retreat to the second, just to get one of the eighteen generals. This account, no matter how you calculate it, you earn it!
But although the account is quite clear, after Wu Youyi heard this, his face still showed a little embarrassment, and he hesitated a little: "I have been outside of personnel for a long time, such a big plan, even if I am willing to force my words, I may not be able to make a city!" ”
"As long as King Jian'an is willing to help me, I will remember my true feelings. Even if it doesn't work, please remember today's lecture and don't be alienated from me again. ”
Li Tong wants to be the general of the two ya, and the biggest resistance is undoubtedly from the martial arts, if you can't do it, don't blame me for your martial arts, it's your cousins who have to hold you to be my son.
"Okay, I'll give it a try!"
Wu Youyi pondered for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement.
Li Tong also smiled when he saw this, when people make decisions, they still consider them based on their own circumstances after all. Although the dragon skill of supporting Wu Chenghe's ascendancy is beautiful, it is too ethereal, and it really can't be chased.
