The Tang Dynasty fell, and the Liang Dynasty was established. (Alternate History, Non-Zhu Wen Establishment)

The system of the Liang Dynasty is similar to the system of three provinces and six ministries in the previous dynasty, but it is not exactly the same, and many reforms are very novel. Many place names have also been modified and added, such as Shandong Province, which was not used in the previous dynasty.

At the beginning, in order to weigh the interests of the five major valves, he was specially appointed as the Great Sima. In the previous dynasty, there were two prime ministers, but now there is only one prime minister's office. This is also the result of the abnormal shape caused by the distribution of interests of the gate valve.

However, whether it is the Great Sima or the Prime Minister, their powers are limited and divided by the system.

For example, Da Sima, in the face of the twelve guards in Kyoto, he had no way.

The Twelve Guards themselves were the personal soldiers of the Emperor Zhao's lineage, and the Great Sima could not move. And the gate lord forces under Da Sima are the Shence army stationed in Hanzhong and Longyou. On the surface, he listened to the emperor's dispatch, but in fact he only listened to the words of Da Sima. Even in the army, except for the supervisor of the army, Da Sima is in charge. The so-called report to the military department is just to give the emperor a little face.

Although the power is great, the Shence army cannot pass the Tong Pass. Without the emperor's order, if you dare to break through, it is a rebellion. The general rebelled, and the family members who stayed in the imperial city, don't think about it, and the entire gate valve will also be implicated.

The family members of the gate lords must stay in the imperial city, and there are officials from the Inner History Province who register and count them every day, and no one is missing. If there is a shortage, rummage all over the city, and find it all over the city.

"Although General Qi was defeated this time, in the opinion of the mourning family, there are still many famous generals in the Shence Army. When the first emperor was there, the Shence army was also the main force attacking Sangla, and at that time, the first emperor often said to the mourning family that the Tang family contributed the most to this war, so he borrowed them 10,000 war horses and 5,000 iron armor. After the bead curtain, Empress Dowager Cao narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "If the mourning family is not mistaken, after the war, those equipment and horses were not recovered." ”

The Empress Dowager Cao Shi participated in politics with a curtain, and three auxiliary ministers sat opposite the curtain. Although separated by the curtain, the crystal clear jade beads could not cover the sensitive mind of the Empress Dowager Cao.

Similarly, between the three ministers' raised eyebrows, they could also glimpse the sharp gaze that Empress Dowager Cao glanced at from time to time.

The symbolism of this curtain is greater than the actual meaning.

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, the hall fell silent, and it seemed that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

What she meant was that this time the Shence Army contributed a Qi Dongyang, which was not enough to "repay" the gift of the first emperor. Then, if you fight again, you Shence the army, you still have to contribute.

Hearing this, the great Sima Tang Zhen thought for a while, and said: "When the first emperor died and withdrew from Sangla, the Shence army suffered heavy casualties, and the loss was not only 10,000 war horses, but also 5,000 iron armor, all of which were taken to Hebei by Qi Dongyang. ”

Tang Zhen's implication is that the benefits of your royal Zhao family, our Tang family has long been repaid, and there is one more famous general. This time, if you fight the male Jia again, you should let the other two gate valves contribute.

Empress Dowager Cao didn't seem to change her mood on the surface, but her eyes were on the other two.

Prime Minister Meng Danqing smiled and said: "The Queen Mother Chitose doesn't need to panic, now their male Jia people are actually suffering from the enemy." Ten years ago, the Buyeo people made a lot of trouble outside Shanhaiguan, and at that time, the main force of the male Jia people had already migrated to the sixteen states of Yanyun. The alliance between the male Jia people and the right law people drove the Buyeo people to the Yuyang Peninsula, and they have been in a slump ever since. But at this time, the Youlu people tore up the covenant, and 200,000 troops were hoarded in Shanhaiguan, eyeing the sixteen states of Yanyun. ”

After saying that, Meng Danqing glanced at the imperial historian Ximen Zhensen beside him.

Simon Zhensen's eyes were playful, he paused slightly, and said: "Lao Chen has long said that the reason why the male Jia people want to echo Sang La's attack on Daliang is actually forced by the situation. The purpose of King Jia is to occupy Hebei, so that he has the capital to compete with the right lawyers. Now that they have obtained Xiangzhou and controlled the north bank of the Yellow River, they will no longer cross the river to the south. This also confirms Lao Chen's previous speculation. In fact, I think that this situation is not bad, as long as the male Jia people control Hebei, they can block the right law people who are gaining momentum for us, otherwise we will have to face the right law if we take the male Jia. At that time, we have already fought to the point of being sleepy and empty, not to mention fighting against the Right Law, even in the face of the Jiangnan Jin Dynasty, we may not be able to control it. So now 'summing' is the best policy. ”

Empress Dowager Cao's smile was exhausted, her eyes were lowered, and she continued to listen.

Da Sima Tang Zhen didn't say a word.

Prime Minister Meng Danqing smiled calmly: "Even King Sangla can see this clearly, so they just verbally echo the male Jia people, and they don't really send troops." ”

Imperial Doctor Simon Mamori nodded and said, "As soon as the male Jia people start a war with us, he Sangla will have a chance to breathe. ”

Having said that, the negotiations seem to have reached an impasse.

But before the cards in Empress Dowager Cao's hand were played, just as she was about to speak again, a young man in a Xuanhuang brocade robe broke in, followed by a girl in palace costumes and twelve samurai with strong physiques.

The young man raised his eyebrows coldly, and said angrily: "Are you just watching the land of Hebei being occupied by the Hu people?" Since I was the king of Hongnong, I have always looked at the government and politics of previous years, and I can always see the words 'seeking peace', but after 200 years of begging, how many rivers and mountains have been cut, how many princesses have been married, and how many gold, silver and silk horses have been given away, what is the result? The first emperor left the three of you to me as auxiliary ministers, but are you helping or are you demolishing the stage? I want to fight, and you still dare to say that you want to sue for peace, do you want to rebel? ”

The army of the Liang Dynasty was divided into the emperor's relatives troops, gate lord troops, and local armed forces.

In the past, the local armed forces referred to the troops of the town of Jiedu, which were relatively strong, and later Liang Gaozu cooperated with several major lords to relieve the recruitment rights of the local Jiedu envoys. Because of this large-scale withdrawal of the feudal domain, it also caused the "Kangdu Rebellion", Fanyang Jiedu made Kang Xinxian and Dengzhou Jiedu make Du loyal, jointly rebelled, sent troops from Fanyang and Dengzhou, and approached Luoyang Baguan.

In that war, the imperial court lost the two major lords, but it also completely extinguished the rebellion of the local jiedu envoys, and they agreed to withdraw the feudal domains, reduce the size of the troops, and increase the power of the imperial court officials in each town. From then on, the size of the troops was suppressed to death, and no more than two battalions were allowed, and a battalion was at most 600 people, otherwise it would be rebellious, heinous, and a great crime of the nine clans, and at the same time, their families were also "invited" into Luoyang City.

Some people say that this war caused internal injuries to the Liang Dynasty; Some people also said that this was actually a conspiracy of the emperor, and he took this opportunity to completely control the local armed forces and cut off the two gate valves.

In the past, the Zhao family itself was a large gate lord, relying on the help of other gate valve forces to establish the Great Liang regime, but later, each gate lord supported its own army and threatened the imperial power.

Although Gaozu took some measures, but until his death, he could not completely remove the power of the gate valve, two hundred years have passed, and now if he wants to destroy it, it will be even more difficult to return.

Maintaining balance is not easy.

Perhaps over the years, the three major gates have found a balance with the imperial power. Especially in the face of foreign aggression, one is prosperous and the other is lost. Everyone is a grasshopper on a boat.

As for when the balance will be broken, this problem should be left to the era when there is no foreign intrusion.

But the two hundred years since the founding of the Great Liang People's Republic of China has not stopped. Internal and external troubles are continuous.

Although there is an undercurrent between the gates, they have never found a chance to attack each other.

The Zhao family's imperial power was crumbling several times, but they all survived, and I have to say that this is also a miracle.

Looking at the sixteen-year-old little emperor, staring at her, the Empress Dowager Cao was sad for a while, but this time, the little emperor was full of confidence, because the twelve guards with superb martial arts he had cultivated were enough to hammer the three old men in front of him to death.

But the little emperor did not do this, and after receiving an affirmative reply from the three old men, he let them go, let them go home and think about the battle plan, and come back in the afternoon to talk.

Imperial.

"Imperial sister, how do you think the imperial brother behaved today?" The young emperor, with smart eyebrows and eyes, walked around, suddenly stood still, and pinched a plum blossom.

Princess Zhao Ya of Chang'an stood beside the imperial brother obediently, and said with a smile: "The imperial brother has such a big temper today, Zhao Ya doesn't know it." ”

The young man smiled, pinched off the plum blossoms, and gave them to Princess Chang'an, "These three old immortals, thinking that I was still a thirteen-year-old child when I first ascended the throne, deceived me too much." Sooner or later, I will have to take charge, and the power in their hands should be properly collected. ”

Princess Chang'an smiled with a smile, "Brother Huang can't be in a hurry, it's still early." ”

"It's all burning eyebrows, it's still early?" The little emperor Zhao Ce dropped his sleeves, raised his head, stretched out his hand, and pointed out the heroic spirit of the country, and said: "I want to recover Hebei within three years, open up the Hexi Corridor in five years, take Liaodong in ten years, eliminate the Southern Jin Dynasty in fifteen years, pacify Shenzhou in twenty years, and be a vassal from all over the world!" ”

The imperial brother began to talk big again, and Princess Chang'an didn't want to refute it directly, but said tactfully: "Now the problem of the Anxi Protectorate has not been solved, General Min Yue went out at the age of twenty and has not been able to come back at the age of sixty, and everyone has written poems about this." ”

"I'm going to open up the Hexi Corridor, isn't it just so that he can come back? When the time comes, I will still send troops to the Western Regions and cross the Buzhou Mountain, but I want to see what those Xiaoxiao can do to me! Zhao Ce suddenly frowned: "Hey, imperial sister, listening to your tone, it seems that you are not very optimistic about the imperial brother's ambitions, what's the matter, you are not optimistic about the imperial brother?" ”

"How dare you. The imperial brother is eloquent and strategic, and he must be a wise lord like Gaozu. Princess Chang'an held the plum blossom in her hand, "However, now we are suffering from the enemy, we can't rush for quick success, let alone look at the top, now that the two forces of the northern grassland are rising, the reason why they didn't come to invade the Central Plains is just because they are still competing with each other for territory, and when the problem between them is solved, Datong needs to increase troops." ”

"You mean newcomers and helpers? Well, the imperial sister is worthy of being my companion, but she has learned a lot of knowledge. Zhao Ce looked a little proud, as if to say, I know everything you know.

I don't know how to do it, the Zhao family and the Tang family are both families with few children, and the family is not prosperous. The Tang family has few boys, and it has something to do with the continuous war, but the Zhao family of the royal family is not like that. In the last 100 years, the emperor has almost always been in a single line. is dangerous, I really don't know which generation will cut off the incense. In Zhao Ce's generation, it can be regarded as giving birth to two sons, but the prince died three years earlier than his father.

It's a royal misfortune.

Although there are also many royal relatives surnamed Zhao, the kinship is already a little far away. There are also some people who don't learn and don't know how to do it. Otherwise, if the emperor is selected to accompany him, he will not choose a princess. Over the years, the little princess has been beaten for the prince.

The emperor's teacher was very strict, but he couldn't beat the prince, and the prince made a mistake, so he could only let the escort take the beating for the prince.

The princess blinked, observed her words, and felt that she should pour cold water on the imperial brother, thought about it, and said: "I heard a while ago that the puppet emperor of Shu Han died (in front of the imperial brother, you can't call the emperor of Shu Han the emperor, and you can't say that you are dead), and her son Liu Xun ascended the throne, and he was about to fight Dali. If Dali is eliminated, I guess he will also come to disrupt the situation. Our garrisons in Hanzhong and Longyou should be strengthened. ”

Zhao Ce frowned and said: "These are also my expectations, but when he destroys Dali, I will also eliminate the male Jia people, and if I don't send troops to fight him, it will already be his creation, and he will dare to disturb the situation in the Central Plains?" Hum! Think beautifully! ”

Seeing that the emperor had a temper, the princess smiled and said, "I guess the empress dowager and the three auxiliary ministers will be able to make a plan for a counteroffensive in a while, and if nothing else, maybe each of the four families will send a force." If this is the result, it will be a big problem who will command these four forces at that time. The four armed forces belong to the four major gates, and it is very easy for a situation in which each of them fights separately and does not respond to each other. ”

"If that's the case, I! I want to drive the expedition! Zhao Ce's face was full of anger: "Also, in the future, don't mention to me what gate valve is not a gate valve, how can there be any gate valve troops?" It's all my troops! ”

Hearing this, the princess's eyes were glazed.

The princess thought that the royal brother really shouldn't be in such a hurry, the three auxiliary ministers were very old, the youngest was seventy-two years old, and how old are you. Their descendants will inherit their place, and it will not be too late for you to establish your power. And at that time, the power of the auxiliary ministers in their hands will not be taken away.

Now in the face of the male Jiaren, although the prime minister and the imperial doctor said that they would make peace, they were actually looking for excuses, so that they could send fewer troops and retain their strength.

However, they will not watch the Liang Dynasty be wiped out, and they all deeply understand the truth that "there are no eggs under the nest".
