140. Broken arm

Walking out of the imperial study, although the sun was everywhere, but the cold wind was still blowing, Luo Yumian put away the smile on his face, dusted off the dust that did not exist on his clothes, and still looked like an elegant appearance of a military department!

The wind outside was biting, but Luo Yumian didn't feel it, he only felt that it was far more comfortable than the stuffy imperial study, turned his head to look at the imperial study, the heavy felt curtain blocked Luo Yumian's gaze, although Luo Yumian was unwilling, but inside was the emperor's very reliant minister, far from being comparable to himself, exhaling a breath of white air, Luo Yumian was no longer entangled, facing the dazzling sunshine, striding away!

In the imperial study, Emperor Xiaocheng frowned, looking at Shen Ge Lao's eyes like joy and worry! But in my heart it was like a war drum, and the next moment, it was as if I was about to jump out of my chest!

"Do you think it's possible?" Emperor Xiaocheng stared at Shen Ge Lao.

Shen Ge Lao did not give a direct affirmative answer, hesitated a little, twisted his beard and thought: "The old minister also borrowed from the law of the previous dynasty, whether it is feasible or not, you have to be cautious!" ”

"Hmm!" Emperor Xiaocheng nodded, frowning, thoughtful.

"Actually, a few days ago, when the king of Jin was impeached in the court, the emperor could see some clues!" Elder Shen Ge continued: "The military generals faction is mostly towards the King of Jin, while the civil officials are mostly advocating severe punishment! ”

Emperor Xiaocheng nodded, looked at Shen Ge Lao, leaned back slightly, and motioned for him to continue.

"Since the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, the military power has only been granted to the envoys of the states, and the commander of the army is only 30,000, and the general of the four towns is only 100,000. I am a great Liang Chongwen who is tired of martial arts, and uses Confucianism to determine the world, business to make money, to keep money to the foundation, and civil officials to manage and collect taxes, so that there is the 'prosperous era of Tianyuan'. But now, this little King Jin is in charge of the world's military power, although it is given by His Majesty, but if it is a wolf's ambition, wouldn't he be worried? Shen Ge Lao looked sorry and shook his head again and again.

Emperor Xiaocheng also had a gloomy face, rubbed his fingers on the wrench in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Not bad!" The 300,000 ironclad army under the command of the King of Jin was given by the first emperor back then, and when the first emperor died, he did not explain how to place the ironclad army, so that for so many years, it has been in the hands of the King of Jin! Let me, it's hard to sleep and eat! ”

"Yes! The 300,000 ironclad army, of which 200,000 are guarding the northern frontier, and 100,000 are guarding the Jin King's own fiefdom of Xinzhou. Forgive the old minister for trespassing. Now, although the King of Jin has no military talisman, the ironclad army is still the only one who obeys the order of the King of Jin! With such a trouble, how can the emperor rest assured? "Elder Shen Ge was heartbroken, his hands trembled, and he had the demeanor of a loyal minister and a good general!

"I don't know!" Emperor Xiaocheng stood up and paced slowly: "But now, no matter how many prison troops I send, the ironclad army is obedient on the surface, but secretly it doesn't take it to heart at all, how can you call me good?" Even if you kill a group of people, and those who come up at the top, I'm afraid that you still won't accept it, is it possible, and you still want me to kill all the 300,000 soldiers? ”

"Such a number of soldiers, can only be appeased, not deterred, if blindly suppressed, these men who lick the blood with the blade, rebelled, but the gains outweighed the losses! Now that the border is in trouble, these 300,000 soldiers are sent

The battlefield can also withstand a while, not to mention, these people are all elite soldiers and good generals created by King Jin with great effort, and they can't be killed easily! What's more..."Emperor Xiaocheng narrowed his eyes, his eyes were long: "We have a total of sixteen states in Daliang, and the ones bordering northern Xinjiang include Xinzhou, Yunzhou, Zhenzhou, Dingzhou, Zhou, and Yanzhou!" Among them, there are four continents with a territory of thousands of miles, developed mining, abundant materials, and a population of one million households. Among them, Yanzhou is rich in minerals, and three of the seven major iron ores in Daliang are in it; And Xinzhou, the fief of the King of Jin, is rich in well salt, and it can be regarded as an extremely rich land! ”

"Definitely! The tax revenue of these six states alone accounted for nearly half of the treasury revenue that year! Sixty percent of our income has always been handed over to the treasury, and forty percent is kept for ourselves, which shows that the financial resources of these six states should not be underestimated! Shen Ge Lao also had a dignified face, these six states have always been friendly with the King of Jin, and they border the northern frontier, all of which are under the guard of the King of Jin, and they are inextricably linked with the King of Jin.

Emperor Xiaocheng nodded, continued to pace, approached the brazier on the side, stretched out his hand, stretched out his hand as if he was afraid of cold, and slowly baked: "What I am most worried about is not his financial resources, but in addition to the 100,000 ironclad army of King Xinzhou of Jin, the Jiedu envoys of the other five states also led nearly 100,000 troops each!" And these festival envoys, and the King of Jin has a lot of relationship, every time there is a book on the table, they say how wise the King of Jin is, how brave, so to speak, if the King of Jin really has the intention to rebel, I, I really have to guard against it! ”

Shen Ge nodded, what the emperor was worried about was indeed reasonable, although this King of Jin had not yet reached the point of supporting his own troops, but on the side of the couch, how could he allow others to sleep soundly? Moreover, no matter how rampant the King of Jin is now, he does not dare to show it in front of 300,000 soldiers, and now these ironclad troops are still loyal and patriotic, if the emperor suppresses them for no reason, I am afraid that it will also chill the hearts of the soldiers, but push them to the side of the King of Jin!

"So, after the morning of that day, the old minister went home and thought about it for a long time before he came up with this plan!" Shen Ge Lao sighed, and said thoughtfully: "The previous dynasty pursued this system, which was quite successful, according to the current situation, the military power of these generals should really be collected, if they go down like this, I am afraid it will be out of control!" ”

"I don't know this! Since the military power has been granted, everything is left to the commander-in-chief to deal with the full power, if there is no gross negligence, how can the military power be relieved? I once wanted to have the Imperial Historian impeach the King of Jin, but now at this juncture, such a big move, will it be..."Emperor Xiaocheng thought for a long time, what Shen Ge Lao said, it was what he was worried about, he was so jealous of the King of Jin, it was nothing more than the military power in his hands, so that now the prestige of the King of Jin in the army is heavier, and he has to think about getting rid of it quickly!

Elder Shen Ge didn't have so many worries, and continued to explain: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's ministers, and the shore of the land is not the king's land!" According to the old ministers, the imperial power is the military power, and the emperor only needs to order the officials and the military department to increase the posts of dispersed officials, and exchange the real power of the main generals under the command of the king of Jin for high-ranking officials. Moreover, just now the old minister also said that the emperor is not seizing power, but just not letting them dictate power, and now the military power is handed over, only receiving official positions, not fulfilling real power! The emperor can also add official ranks and increase the number of officials at his discretion! They have been stationed on the frontier all the year round, and it is rare to reunite with their families, so that they have fulfilled their wish to be together with their families for a long time, isn't it a double win? ”

Although Emperor Xiaocheng did not speak, but Shen Ge Lao's words stirred up a circle of splash in his heart, if this matter is really as smooth as Shen Ge Lao said, the threat of the Jin King has been greatly reduced, in the future, if you do it again, you don't have to look ahead and backwards, you will suffer from gains and losses!

"Then, the generals have no real power, how can they lead the troops to fight? What about regular training? Emperor Xiaocheng furrowed his brows and thought slowly.

Shen Ge Lao smiled slightly and shook his head: "In daily training, you can also follow the method of the previous dynasty and set up more 'regimental training', only training the troops and not commanding the troops. Generals only command troops but do not train troops, and if there is no war on weekdays, they only receive money, and they have no right to transfer troops and lead troops! Since the emperor gave them such a high grade and a good salary, and they don't need to train troops on weekdays, their dependence on the commander will naturally be reduced a lot. ”

"Also, if this is really the case, the old minister suggested that if there is another rebellion, the emperor can send a civilian official as the commander, first, to suppress the expansion of military power, and second, as soon as the war is over, the military power will be handed over by civilian officials, so that there will be no delay in handing over military power! Moreover, now there are few wars, and there are not many commanders who need to lead the war, and when the time comes, the generals will lead the false positions, hold the excessively high salary, and the emperor will be able to go to the battlefield. ”

"This method sounds very good!" Emperor Xiaocheng bowed his head, but his face still did not relax: "However, this move is tantamount to weakening the military power from the hands of the generals, how can they be willing to serve it with their hands obediently?" ”

"Naturally, I won't!" Shen Ge Lao twisted his beard, looked at Emperor Xiaocheng, and smiled meaningfully: "In the pre-Qin period, there was an allusion to 'two peaches killing three soldiers', Your Highness might as well follow this law, first adjust the position of Wang Xian, the judge of the five-grade ironclad army, and promote him to the post of the commander of the three towns in northern Xinjiang led by the general of the four-rank Mingwei, and then awarded the post of Qin Li, the governor of the right army of the three-rank ironclad army, and Ma Fangzheng, the governor of the left army, the general of the second-grade Zhenguo, and led the envoy of the southern Xinjiang Burmeyang Festival and the Dongou Yuehai festival. Although he is a high-ranking official, these territories have not yet been returned to my main beam, and they are all ineffective positions. Above the court, I watched the three Jin kings have the highest voice, so I might as well start with them. ”

"This ......" Without waiting for the emperor to agree, Shen Ge Lao said again: "On that day, the emperor was already a small test, and the king of Jin knew that he was at a loss, so he naturally would not let these three people oppose His Majesty's decision, but the departure of these three people is tantamount to breaking the arm of the king of Jin." ”

"As for Zhao Xiang, the former military governor, and Wang Ting, the rear military governor, I will reassign the emperor's two commanders and infantry commanders to the emperor's two palaces, so that they can eat the king's fortune and bear the king's worries."

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Yes! This King of Jin himself led the post of governor of the Chinese army, in order to lead the ironclad army, but if Zhao Xiang and Wang Ting were transferred to my side, would it lead the wolf into the room? On the contrary, it gave King Jin a chance? The Emperor said worriedly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much, the sixth son of the 'Right Army General' Yunzhou Qi family is the trump card in your hand, and he will be promoted to the guard and pro-army Ma Bu Si Du Yu Marquis, one is to win over the Qi family's 100,000 troops, and the other is that this Du Yu Marquis is only in charge of officials, regardless of soldiers, and can supervise Zhao Xiang and Wang Ting, and he is not afraid that the sixth prince of Qi will be in and out of the palace all day long, and make trouble."

"Then in this way, wouldn't it be that the 300,000 ironclad army is led by the King of Jin alone?" The emperor still couldn't figure out what to do with the 300,000 ironclad army. 2k reading web
