Chapter 554: Three Divisions of Military Power

The ministers don't speak, this is exactly the effect Fan Zhen wants, he Fan is in power, cats and dogs can interject indiscriminately, what kind of system?

"Princes, the Khitan people are uneducated and virtuous, incorruptible and shameful, this time Yelu Hugo came south to worship the first emperor, there must be fraud in it." Fan Zhen smiled indifferently, accentuated his tone, and shouted in a deep voice, "Could it be that the Khitans really bullied us and the others are incompetent?" ”

Li Qiong pursed her lips, Brother Yelu Xiu came south this time, it is a typical night owl who entered the house, and he didn't have a good heart, this is a lice on the bald head, and it is an obvious thing.

The question is, how can the Khitan soldiers break it?

Wang Pu and Li Gu looked at each other, and each of them instantly understood each other's intentions, and waited for Fan Zhen to continue to say, see what tricks he wanted to play?

Li Zhongyi didn't have much feeling about Fan Qian's feelings, he and Fan Shou were ministers in the same palace, and the time was not short, for what kind of person Lao Fan was, how could he have countless hearts in his heart?

It's a pity that due to the constraints of the times, what this Prime Minister Fan is doing is just following the old path, and there is not much new in it.

No matter how much beautification has been done in traditional Confucianism, the essential core of it has not changed: the people are stupid and hooligans, and it is best to rule!

What Li Zhongyi wants to do is too shocking to the world, and before he completely grasps the power of the DPRK and China, especially the military power, he can only choose to endure for the time being.

I think that back then, before Mao Taizu closed his eyes, he didn't expect that one day, after three ups and downs, Deng Taizong would magically grasp the power, and he would go so far in the "Second Westernization Movement"?

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, no exception!

Li Qiong narrowed a pair of old eyes, staring at Li Zhongyi with the rest of her eyes, but what she was thinking in her mind was. Chai Rong's political layout before his death.

Although there are eight phases in the political hall, anyone with a discerning eye knows that only Fan Zhen is the only one who really has the right to speak.

The seven ministers did not have much real power, but they all stayed in the political hall, and Chai Rong's political calculations were revealed: even if he trusted Fan Zhen's loyalty. There is still room for checks and balances.

has the support of the Empress Dowager, and is naturally qualified to call for wind and rain, and decide the government while talking and laughing. However, if it was without the support of Empress Dowager Fu, Li Qiong thought of this, and couldn't help but glance at Li Zhongyi secretly.

If the two political alliances are to last for a long time, the Kaiping County Mansion must also show its sincerity and help Li Zhongyi do something, right?

In fact, Li Zhongyi had thought of it a long time ago. How to separate the Empress Dowager and Fan Zhen is an effective way. But the problem is that if he deviates too far from history, Li Zhongyi is worried about major unexpected situations that are beyond his control.

Even if the quality of the model continues, Li Zhongyi will never be able to become the prime minister first in terms of seniority and other issues, and in the end, it is likely that Li Gu, Wang Pu or Wei Renpu will be cheaper.

The gains outweigh the losses, and it is absolutely impossible for Li Zhongyi to do such a brain-dead thing. At this critical moment, it is definitely better to be still than to be still.

With its change in the course of history. It is better to let what happened in history repeat it again, which is the key point that is most in line with Li Zhongyi's interests.

Li Zhongyi didn't squeak, Li Qiong didn't speak, Li Gu and Wang Pu had their own calculations, and they didn't open their mouths. There was silence in the hall.

Li Yun's eyes rolled slightly, and he suddenly said: "The Khitan people have ill intentions, we have to guard against it." ”

Li Qiong secretly sneered, Li Yun, a white-eyed wolf, had not yet passed the day of the first emperor's banquet. This famous and powerful local feudal town can no longer sit still.

Li Zhongyi's eyes flashed, and Li Yun's sudden initiative to come forward, in his opinion, was actually the best and entry point to break the current deadlock.

Although Li Yun's words were not very plain, the subtext is that a discerning person can know at a glance: When the country is in trouble, it can only rely on a powerful warrior like Li Yun!

Wei Renpu didn't look at Li Yun, his attention has been on Li Zhongyi, as far as the marshals of the entire Great Zhou Empire are concerned, if you want to say that the famous marshals who are more sure of dealing with the Khitans, who is Li Zhongyi?

The problem is that Fan Zhen and Empress Dowager Fu have already joined forces, obviously trying to weaken the authority that Li Zhongyi has at hand.

Li Zhongyi's descendant troops, Yulin Right Guard, were transferred back to the northern suburbs of Kaifeng City, and the intentions of the dominant one, Fan Zhen, Wei Renpu actually knew at a glance: using the coexistence of several factions and towns to muddy the water, divide and rule, so that no one dared to act rashly!

Fan Zhen is most worried about Han Tong, the biggest real power faction in the military, at present, Han Tong holds more than 60% of the elite forbidden army in the capital, although his name and status are far below Zhao Kuangyin, his strength is amazing!

Li Zhongyi's heart is very clear, and it is precisely because Fan Zhen's attention has always been focused on Han Tong's body that Zhao Laoer, who has been hiding deeply, succeeded.

Fan Zhen gently flicked the sleeves of his robe and said lightly: "The Khitan people have bad intentions, and it is already obvious. If my generation doesn't meet the head-on attack, won't we fall into the prestige of my Great Zhou, the first power in the Central Plains? ”

Li Qiong pouted, although Da Zhou had repelled the Khitans in Gaoping, it was because the Khitans didn't want to work hard and took the initiative to withdraw their troops.

In the Battle of Gaoping, the main results of the Central Plains army commanded by the first emperor were actually from the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the Northern Han Dynasty, although the Khitans suffered some losses, but they were almost negligible.

"Since all the princes have nothing to say, then the old man will throw bricks and lead the way." Fan Zhen closed his eyes slightly, and said softly, "I can order Zhao Kuangyin to lead the army north to meet the invasion of the Khitans." ”

Li Gu and Wang Pu glanced at each other, and the two of them didn't expect that Fan Zhen would abandon Han Tong and Li Zhongyi, and directly ordered Zhao Kuangyin's general.

Li Qiong winked at Li Zhongyi, which means that Fan Zhen is really very jealous of you Li Wuyi, and turned to Zhao Kuangyin as a big responsibility.

Li Zhongyi curled the corners of his mouth slightly, Fan Zhen let Zhao Kuangyin come out, which was one of the strategies to deliberately suppress Han Tong, and it was not surprising at all.

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that Fan Zhen's next decision was immediately shocking, "If the old man is not bad, Li Tang in the south and Meng Shu in the southwest are likely to make some moves." I thought that the prime minister could lead the army south and attack Lin Renzhao. Han Tong can lead tens of thousands of troops, stationed in Jingzhao Mansion, and always break the incoming troops of Shu. ”

Li Qiong blinked a few times, and glared at Fan Zhen in surprise, this old thing, what kind of trick is this?

Li Zhongyi didn't look at Fan Qian, but he secretly sighed in his heart, in the imperial court, the most famous marshal who could lead troops to fight, the most good at disguise, and the military ministers with the most military power were all driven out of Kaifeng City by Fan Xiang.

The three major military ministers are gone, let me ask, who is the world in this Kaifeng city?

Fighting, the original fight is logistics support, Fan Zhen sits in the capital, and whoever wants to win, he can greatly exceed the standard supply of grain, grass and baggage. Otherwise, whoever does not fight will lose first!

is a good prime minister, worthy of being the prime minister most appreciated by the first emperor, there is absolutely no one! (To be continued.) )
