Chapter 1414: The Ministry of War wants to seize power!
The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes were split, and he exclaimed: "The thief is so daring! How dare you shake the world? β
Then he faced His Majesty Li Er, pointed at Fang Jun with the halberd in one hand, and shouted: "This fang has ill intentions and intends to shake the country's foundation, and the old minister implores His Majesty to kill him immediately, so as to correct the dynasty!" β
There was an exclamation above the main hall, and the ministers looked at Fang Jun with a calm face, and said in their hearts, "Isn't this son really not knowing how to write the word dead?"
Only the generals were shocked, but their eyes were playful and their expressions were entangled......
Is it the eldest grandson Wuji making a big fuss and slandering?
Not really.
In the third year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty reformed the military system.
"Change the left and right guards to the left and right Yi guards, the left and right guards are the left and right cavalry guards, and the left and right military guards are still named. Change the leader of the army to the left and right guards, add the left and right guards, and change the left and right military candidates to the left and right guards, which is for the twelve guards. He also changed the left and right houses to the left and right reserve houses, and the left and right prison gates are still named. Where the Sixteen Mansions".
This is the origin of the Sixteen Guards.
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it immediately set about setting up military institutions. In the second year of Gaozu Wude, while restoring Juntian and formulating the regulation of rent, he ordered the establishment of a military government in imitation of the Sui system: "The military government was first placed, and it was led by two generals, hussars and chariots. "Because the war was still going on at that time, only the military government was set up in the relatively stable Guanzhong area, which was divided into 12 provinces, and each set up an army, and gave it a name to strengthen the army.
For example, Wannian Road is the Flag Army, Chang'an Road is the Drum Flag Army, and Jingzhou Road is the Tianji Army...... No class enumeration.
After Tang Taizong ascended the throne, he immediately began to reform the military system, and divided the world into ten provinces, including Guannei, Henan, Hebei, Hedong, Shannan, Longyou, Huainan, Jiangnan, Jiannan, and Lingnan, with a total of more than 300 prefectures. Concentrate military power in the central government, and set up 16 guards in the center, each with its own subordinate and mutual checks and balances. In addition to the left and right prison guards, the left and right thousand cattle guards, the other twelve guards are in command of the internal and external government soldiers.
One of the most important tasks of the government soldiers is to go to the capital to stay and guard, and most of them are held by the government soldiers of Guannei, Henan, and Hedong provinces, which are relatively close to the capital, and the number of soldiers in these provinces has accounted for more than two-thirds of the total number of government soldiers in the country. In addition to the palace guard, it also serves as the responsibility of public security such as the inspection of the royal palaces, various official offices and the guards of the capital.
As a result, the total number of troops in the vicinity of Gyeonggi has accounted for more than half of the country's military strength.
However, since ancient times, kings have been very taboo about military power, not only to control the throne in their hands, but also to contain and weigh the world.
Fang Jun's proposal at this time for the 16 guards to participate in the rescue of natural disasters is equivalent to the inevitable destruction of the current balance by a force, destroying the stable structure, and laying hidden dangers for the safety of Gyeonggi.
What's more, once the army operates near Gyeonggi, who knows if it will be used and controlled by rebellious ministers and thieves?
At that time, the Yin Jian of Xuanwu Gate had not yet gone away......
However, the generals are different from the civilian officials, and think about something else.
Power is the supreme interest that every official has been tirelessly pursuing. In the Tang Dynasty military system, as long as it is not wartime, the promotion of generals is assessed in the military department, the mobilization of troops is drilled and logistics are supplied in the political hall, and the tiger talisman is in the hands of the emperor...... No one will be reconciled.
Without these powers, how can you assert your status and establish your prestige in the army?
Everyone wants power, especially Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin, Zhang Shigui and others, who have followed His Majesty Li Er's conquest for many years and have made outstanding achievements, but they dare to openly admonish His Majesty in the Taiji Hall like Fang Jun to order the army to leave the garrison and go around for disaster relief...... It's really bold.
His Majesty Li Er sat upright on the throne, the light in the hall was a little dim, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but he could only hear his calm voice and say slowly: "Soldiers, the murder weapon of the country." Fang Aiqing's advice and whether it is feasible or not, I ask you, how to make the troops who have left the garrison keep their duties and only focus on their lives? β
It's okay to let the troops go out to provide disaster relief, but how to prevent these troops from seriously going to disaster relief, instead of pretending to fight and conspire to rebel?
Fang Jun was confident: "The troops' participation in disaster relief can rescue the victims in time and enhance the people's centripetal force towards the imperial court, and secondly, they can also take the opportunity to pull the troops out for field drills, which is much better than responding to stories in the barracks." Since it is a disaster relief, what is needed is manpower, and the troops participating in the disaster relief can not be taken out of the barracks, but only dressed in civilian clothes and rushed to the disaster area with their bare hands. β
In these years, the scale of smelting was extremely weak, and even if the Fang family and the eldest grandson family, the two largest iron smelting families in the Tang Dynasty, joined forces, it was impossible for them to have the ability to equip the ordnance and armor of the First Guard Army in a short period of time. An army without armor, weapons, and arrows is like a toothless tiger, and even if it is genuinely ill-intentioned, what can it achieve?
His Majesty Li Er groaned slightly, and someone among the generals had already stood up and said, "The old minister thinks that the advice of Fang Shilang may be possible. β
The eldest grandson Wuji was suddenly furious: "Fang Jun is unpredictable, is it possible that you Cheng Zhijie is old and confused?" The Sixteen Guards of Gyeonggi are the cornerstone of the empire's stability, so how can they act rashly? Once it is used by people with intentions, it will definitely become a catastrophe that will cause chaos to the dynasty, and you will not be able to atone for your sins! β
Cheng Biting Jin smiled, and sneered at each other: "Although we are horsemen, we are all generals who have followed Your Majesty for many years, and we dare not say how much credit we have, and our loyalty can be shown to the sun and the moon!" However, there are some people who are not strict in their family education, and they are ashamed of the world for evil, but they can still raise their arms and shout here with a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, which is really ridiculous! β
Naturally, what he said was the rebellion of the eldest grandson......
The eldest grandson Wuji had a halberd, his eyes were red, he got erect, and said angrily: "Old man Cheng, dare to bully me like this? I swear to you! β
The son took the wrong path, not only ruined his life and had no home, but also caused his eldest grandson Wuji to lose face. If it weren't for the open-mindedness of His Majesty Li Er, who remembered the past exploits of his eldest grandson's family, and even remembered the love between Empress Wende's husband and wife, I am afraid that the end of destroying the three clans would be light......
Therefore, the rebellion of the eldest grandson is already the rebellion of the eldest grandson, who touches and who is in a hurry!
But where would Cheng bite Jin to be afraid of him?
Immediately stood forward, his eyes were round like copper bells, his fists the size of iron bowls were clenched, and he glared at Changsun Wuji without giving in: "So-and-so is just telling the truth, is it true that your eldest grandson's family has done it, and so-and-so can't say it?" Come on, come on, don't say that so-and-so bullied you and let you have one hand, let's compare and contrast on top of this hall and see if so-and-so can beat you all over the ground to find teeth! β
The eldest grandson Wuji is about to go crazy, since he followed His Majesty Li Er to fight the world, how could he have suffered such anger? Immediately became furious, stood up and was about to step forward to fight with Cheng Yanjin, so frightened that the ministers around him hurriedly pulled him to death.
Although the eldest grandson Wuji was born in a family of military generals, he can also go on horses to kill the enemy, but how can he beat Cheng Biting Jin, who is the champion of the three armies?
That Cheng Biting Jin is a well-known demon king of the mixed world, if the eldest grandson Wuji is beaten violently by him in this Taiji Palace, it is estimated that he will not have the face to live......
The ministers beside him grabbed the eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian frowned and reprimanded Cheng Yanjin: "Now that they are all important ministers of the court and pillars of the empire, how can they be like reckless people in the market?" It's really out of place! β
Cheng Yanjin hadn't spoken yet, and Wei Chi Jingde behind him had already said quietly: "Above the court, it is natural for everyone to express their opinions, since there are differences, it is inevitable that there will be a battle of words. What's more, now it is to discuss whether the advice of the waiter is feasible, but Zhao Guogong is angry and hurts people, why should Shen Guogong be biased? β
These words made Gao Shilian very angry, it was clear that Cheng Biting Jin, a rammer, was talking about other people's families, but now he is beating him upside down?
His Majesty Li Er knocked on the imperial case, but he was not much annoyed, and said lightly: "Don't be impatient." Fang Aiqing, tell me, how should this so-called 'emergency command yamen' be structured and how should it operate? β
The eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian and others were all shocked in their hearts, and they secretly said that they were going to be bad!
His Majesty was actually persuaded by Fang Jun......
Fang Jun's eyes lit up, and he immediately talked eloquently: "The disaster relief is complicated and complicated, and the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and Chang Ping will naturally have to participate, and the Criminal Department can also send officials to investigate and deal with whether there is dereliction of duty and corruption before and after the disaster." When a natural disaster occurs, a temporary yamen will be formed by the elite personnel of various ministries, which will be controlled by His Majesty in the center and dispatched to minimize the losses caused by natural disasters. As for the assembly and dispatch of the disaster relief troops and the assignment of tasks, the military department naturally has an unshirkable responsibility, under the command of His Majesty, it will do its best to rescue the victims, raise the prestige of our Tang Army, and let the people of the world see that our army is an invincible hero who has won a hundred battles and conquered every battle, and when it arrives in the disaster area, it is a soldier who is brave and loyal to the people! β
Show oneβs true colors in the end!
