36. Power struggle
Or stay in your own home and be comfortable.
Li Qi was soaking in the hot spring pool of the villa and actually fell asleep.
It seems easy to fight with the Khitans, but in fact, my nerves have been very tight, and when I was in Yangcheng, I was ready for a big battle at any time. It wasn't until the messenger sent by Jerod arrived that he knew that the other party had released the pigeon, and he was relieved. However, in the process of returning to the division, it was also very hard to inspect along the way, meet with officials in Shanbei, listen to reports, and solve problems.
It is only when you return to this hot spring mountain resort that you can completely relax.
In a daze, someone was approaching him, and then used it to rub his body, Li Qi was more alert, and suddenly sobered up. When he opened his eyes, it was Wang Qiang wearing a gauze robe, standing beside him, in a posture that made his blood run high, and was rubbing his shoulders. So he half-closed his eyes again and said in his mouth: "This kind of thing, let the maid do it well, how can you work the queen." ”
Wang Qiang said: "Your Majesty is tired from running around outside, and the concubine can't be by her side, so she is uneasy. ”
Li Qi knew what she meant, smiled and said: "In this army, except for the Tuntian District, women are not allowed to enter the camp, this rule is set by me, and I should lead by example, and I can't take the lead in breaking the rules." ”
Wang Qiang said with a smile: "Your Majesty's rule is not much hated by those generals, and the concubine heard that those generals went out to fight, and they were all accompanied by the family's favorite concubines." ”
"That's the original, I'm in the camp, I'll see who dares!" Li Qi snorted softly in his nose.
Wang Qiang chuckled and said, "Your Majesty is a little unkind, those generals are not great monks, what should I do if I am horny?" ”
Li Qi laughed: "Don't they all have long hands...... The queen has a point, I have always considered that the army has shaved its hair, and it seems that it must be implemented quickly. ”
Wang Qiang's eyes widened in surprise: "Your Majesty really wants them to be monks?!" ”
"Where, it's just for ordinary hygiene and easy treatment when injured." Li Qi laughed, and after speaking, he stretched out his arms and hugged Wang Qiang into his arms, "My husband feels that his medical skills have improved again, and he is now checking ......."
A strange sound came from the steaming room, which made the faces of several maids guarding the door red......
……
When the emperor was not at ease at all, he only stayed in Longshou Mountain Hot Spring Villa for three days, and Shang Shuling Ren Yuan and Zhongmen envoy Zhang Xian jointly came to the door.
"The Son of Heaven should be diligent in government affairs, and he should not indulge in his daughter's hometown!" When Ren Yuan saw Li Qi, he gave such a sentence.
This made Li Qi very unhappy, so he also said: "Political affairs are decided by the prime minister, I don't want to interfere, just look at the result." ”
Ren Yuan made Li Qi scolded, and he was also a little annoyed: "Your Majesty does not go through the Ministry of Officials and the Central Gate, and arbitrarily transfers several towns and festivals, and appoints assassins, which is really not in line with the system, is not conducive to future governance, and is not conducive to the prestige of the imperial court." ”
Li Qi suddenly, it turned out that the two of them thought that they did not discuss with them, so they adjusted the envoys of Tonghua and Chang'an, and the other is that the veteran An Jinquan is about to step down as the envoy of Yunzhou Zhenwu Festival, Zhenwu Army includes Yunzhou, Shuozhou, and even Fuzhou, Shengzhou, Linzhou and other places east of the Yellow River, which have always been big military towns in the Jin army, and many people are staring at this position.
But no one expected that Li Qi would hand over such an important military town to Bai Chengfu, who was born in Tuyuhun.
"This transfer involves military arrangements, so I have taken matters into my own hands, and I have only returned from the Northland, and I have not had time to inform the two prime ministers in a hurry. In the future, the appointment of the chief officials at and above the state level will be approved by the Council of Ministers, and we will pay attention to this aspect. Li Qi was wearing a purple and red robe, sat on the couch, and replied unhurriedly. As for some military transfers, I did not intend to interfere in government affairs by dealing with them temporarily. In addition, the two Aiqing also knew that the secession of this feudal town was the scourge of the former Tang Dynasty's annihilation, and it has not been able to eradicate it since the Middle Tang Dynasty, which is also the fundamental reason why the decrees of the previous dynasty were not implemented and the prestige of the imperial court did not exist. This Bai Chengfu is because he only has a thousand guards and cavalry in his hands, so I can rest assured that he will be appointed as the envoy of the Zhenwu Army, if he is the commander of the army, does the prime minister think I can sleep peacefully? ”
The two of them were shocked, the emperor was preparing to collect military power, if this kind of thing was mixed indiscriminately, it would cause death, so they kept their mouths shut with interest, and did not dare to entangle themselves on this issue again.
After a pause, Ren Yuan said: "There is no distinction between the military and the civilian in Tuntian District, and there are many thorns in the history, and Tuntian District has become a place outside the law, and local disputes cannot be handled, affecting the governance of various places. The minister thought that it was appropriate to bring all the tuntian districts into the scope of civil affairs in various places. ”
Li Qi resolutely refused: "No, all tuntian districts belong to the military and government, not under the local government, this is the rule." As for the dispute, it is up to both parties to send someone to settle it through negotiation. If there is a person who violates the criminal law, the Tuntian Division will deal with it at its own discretion and will never allow the local government to interfere. "There are fights between Tuntian District and the local government from time to time, and Li Qi has heard of them from time to time. This situation is also normal, and it is just an excuse for the assassins everywhere to seize power. He is now about to weaken the military power of the assassins in various places, where is he willing to agree to such a request.
Ren Yuan's face was embarrassed: "Your Majesty doing this will make it difficult for officials everywhere to do things." ”
"If you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it, you can get out!" Li Qi was also very angry, and wanted to use this to threaten himself, who would dare to try it?!
However, Li Qi did not want Ren Yuan to feel that he was contemptuous of him, although he vetoed his proposal to include Tuntian District in local management, but merged the Honglu Temple of the protocol into the Ministry of Rites, and the Dali Temple into the Criminal Department, and the Guozijian was placed under the management of Shangshutai, which can be regarded as increasing the power of the prime minister.
Originally, Li Qi also intended to build the Government Council in accordance with the modern system, and it was only a matter of time before these departments were brought under the management of the prime minister. Bringing it up now is tantamount to appeasing Ren Yuan's emotions.
As for Zhang Xian, the envoy of the central gate, Li Qi put the Ordnance Supervision and the Capital Courtyard under his management, which is equivalent to being in charge of the army's ordnance manufacturing and logistics supply, which is equivalent to the General Logistics Department and the General Armament Department. This would be tantamount to separating the day-to-day logistical supply from the military command of the Privy Council.
The supply of materials during the march and battle is the responsibility of the subordinates of the Central Gate Envoy, and is no longer directly supplied by the local government.
Only in this way can we slowly change the situation in which the military and government were not separated and the military was in charge of the country in the late Tang Dynasty.
There is also a division of power between the monarch and the minister, and the emperor is not easy to exceed the rules at will, otherwise he will grasp the power of the prime minister in his own hands, and it seems that no one is restrained, but he can also exhaust himself to death.
The power of the prime minister in ancient China was very great, and he had the duty of supervising hundreds of officials, because power often contradicted and fought with the monarch. Only in the Ming Dynasty, Comrade Zhu Chongba banned the prime minister, and the imperial power reached the extreme.
Busy with all kinds of government affairs all day long, although he is tired and half dead, he is not necessarily a good emperor.
Bow down to everything, and there are many miscellaneous things, and the anti-hundred will blind people's eyes and judgments......
