"What do you think of the Privy Council?"

Whether it is inheriting the throne of the Khan, or seeing the emperor, the two most important things that Hohe Bari does, one is to centralize power, the other is to suppress, this centralization of power, naturally is to collect one's own rights, and this suppression, it goes without saying, the pressure is Mengtu, Mengtu's power is too great, as a courtier, it is even greater than the emperor's power, which is probably unbearable for any monarch.

Zhu Zhengchao said lightly: "The establishment of the Privy Council is a very good thing, the military department is in charge of scheduling, and the Privy Council is in charge of commanding the army, which effectively curbs the expansion of the military generals and puts the decision power in the emperor and the imperial court, but now, the military department is controlled by Mengtu, the Privy Council is controlled by the emperor, the camp is clear, you do yours, I do mine, the military department and the Privy Council are completely out of touch, do not cooperate with each other, and in the long run, with the country, and the emperor are not good." ”

"Then what do you want me to do and let Montu continue to grow? If this continues, I'm afraid I'm going to be hollowed out by him and become a puppet, how can I let this happen? ”

Hohe Bari gritted his teeth and said, he also felt the embarrassment and incongruity of the atmosphere in the court, but what can be done, Mengtu's power is too great, if he doesn't suppress it and continues to develop, I don't know if one day, his throne may have to be handed over.

Zhu Zhengchao shook his head and sighed in his heart, Huhe Bari can be described as eloquent, but such people often attach great importance to rights, and once they are blinded by rights, they will often lose their way in wise people.

Zhu Zhengchao looked at Hohe Bari and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is now the lord of a country, the emperor of the Liao Dynasty, no matter how powerful Mengtu is, he can only be a courtier, this is a righteous and righteous name that cannot be changed, as long as Your Majesty does not make a big mistake that is immoral, how can Mengtu have a chance?" Besides, Your Majesty is now in the prime of life, and there is time and opportunity, so why rush for a while? Urgent things must be bad, the words of the minister, please think twice. ”

Hohe Bari was silent, and after a while, he said, "What do you suggest?" ”

Zhu Zhengchao said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please think, what is the reason why Mengtu has such a big power?" It is because there are many people gathered around him, His Majesty can see them as a faction, and Montu is the leader of this faction, if you want to weaken or even disintegrate them, you first need to integrate them. ”

Hohe Bari looked a little hesitant: "What do you mean..."

Zhu Zhengchao arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty should have thought of it, yes, instead of the two sides collecting each other and guarding against each other like this, Your Majesty should be more generous, make concessions first, and transfer several important ministers under Mengtu to the Privy Council to break the current political deadlock." ”

"Go on."

Hohe Bari knew that Zhu Zhengchao must still have a backhand, otherwise he would give the Privy Council to Mengtu, and the military power of the entire Liao Dynasty would be in his hands, which was absolutely unacceptable.

Zhu Zhengchao said lightly: "The minister just said, Your Majesty is the king, Mengtu is the minister, as long as Your Majesty is fair and just, meritorious service will be rewarded, mistakes will be punished, talent and virtue will be valued, not background, He Zhiqiu, A Gucha and others, although they are Mengtu's people, but they do have great talents, Your Majesty in the name of talent, transferred them to the Privy Council, to be reused, this is Your Majesty's virtue and righteousness, Ulan Tuha, Shi Jian and others, although they are His Majesty's people, but they also have great talents, His Majesty then still in the name of talent, transferred them to the military department, at that time, What other excuse does Montu have to stand in the way? He Zhiqiu, A Gucha and others have made achievements, that is Your Majesty's kindness, and they also have the grace of knowing each other, they must be grateful in their hearts, if they don't do well, Your Majesty just has an excuse to do it, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”

Hearing these words, Huhe Bari's eyes suddenly lit up, he touched his palms with both hands, and laughed: "This is a great word." ”

At this moment, the guards came in and announced: "Your Majesty, the Tibetan envoy asks to see you." ”

Huhe Bari's eyes looked at Zhu Zhengchao, and the two looked at each other, seeing the coldness in each other's eyes.

Li Xun slept until it was nearly dusk, got dressed and walked out of the room.

"Da Shuai is awake."

Hua Shaosheng was guarding the door, and when he saw Li Xun coming out, he smiled and said.

"This night's sleep is good."

Li Xun stretched his waist and slept well, the fatigue of his whole body had disappeared, and he was full of energy.

When they came to the living room, Sima Tu, Shan Qiu, Zhao Wei and others were sitting there talking.

Seeing Li Xun coming, everyone stood up and saluted.

"Don't be polite, sit down."

Li Xun smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone not to be polite.

"How's it going?"

Li Xun sat down and immediately asked questions, and he handed over the follow-up matters to Shan Qiu with full authority, and then went to sleep.

Shan Qiu said in a deep voice: "Mr. Sima guessed right, the Tubo people really led the army to come, Hou Quan just returned half an hour ago, has found out the news, Shanzhou's Tubo army has moved, and suspended the siege, the other party sent a lot of scouts around, Hou Quan did not dare to approach, but anyway, if Tubo really came to raid, it will arrive around the time, in addition to the 3,000 soldiers guarding the city, the remaining 25,000 soldiers have been assembled outside the city, and the soldiers of the whole army will rest and have dinner, You will immediately enter the designated ambush location. ”

Li Xun frowned and said, "Isn't there still twenty or thirty thousand Tubo troops in the southwest?" Aren't you on guard? ”

Shan Qiu and the others glanced at each other, and they all laughed, Sima Tu smiled: "The lord doesn't know, this kung fu you are sleeping, Xiaogu County sent someone to send a message, and under the strong persuasion of Fan Zhongyun and Li Xiao, they finally persuaded Wang Renzizi to let Liu Tan lead 10,000 troops, go out to Xiaogu County, launch a surprise attack from behind, and win a big victory, and the 10,000 Tubo troops who blocked the way have been wiped out." ”

Li Xun was stunned, then touched his head, and laughed: "I didn't expect that Wang Renzizi also has such courage, but I underestimated him before." ”

Sima Tu said with a smile: "If Wang Renzi didn't even have this bit of courage, how could he sit on the throne of Xiangguo before?" ”

Li Xun nodded, still a little worried and said: "Water is impermanent, soldiers are impermanent, although Xiaogu County sent troops, and did this, exterminating 10,000 soldiers in Tubo, but they still have 20,000 or 30,000 troops in their hands, I am afraid that their brains will be hot, and they will rush over desperately, we still can't help but guard against it." ”

Sima Tu nodded: "What the lord said makes sense, but it is indeed not to be careless. ”

Shan Qiu thought for a while and said: "In this way, let Li Cunxiao lead the two thousand cavalry, still as a suspicious soldier, delay them, and increase the 3,000 defenders in the city to 5,000, which should be foolproof." ”

"In this way, the ambush force may not be as good as it."

Zhao Wei said softly: "It's an ambush, it's all about suddenness, a few thousand more soldiers, a few thousand less soldiers, it doesn't matter." ”

"Then do as you do."

Li Xun didn't say more, his eyes were far away, and it was another feast at night. 2k reading web
