Chapter Eighty-Eight: Friend and Foe

Yuwen Rong was so angry that he smashed the cup that Du Xian was drinking tea with.

Grievances, uncomfortable!

Du Xian is the secretary of the military department, but he is the secretary of the household department.

The six ministries perform their own duties, but their status is still somewhat high.

The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the promotion of officials, responsible for personnel arrangements, and has the highest status.

The household department is in charge of the country's finances and grain, and the people's household registration. This is a close second.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the sacrificial imperial examinations, and is in charge of the scholar culture, which is the second.

The military department is in charge of the movement of the army and the storage of equipment, and is located in the fourth.

The Criminal Department is in charge of punishment, but because it is restricted by Dali Temple and Yushitai, its power is very ordinary, so it is in the fifth.

The Ministry of Industry is responsible for building palaces, rivers, mausoleums and other construction projects, and has the lowest status, but as long as it is an official, they all like this last Ministry of Industry, and the reason is ...... If you understand people, you will naturally understand.

Officials and soldiers are punished!

Yuwen Rong is also the head of the household book, obviously two levels higher than Du Xian, in the case of absolute superiority, it doesn't matter if he doesn't get the phase, and he is bullied like this.

Thinking of what happened to me these days, a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out.

I couldn't help but think about Du Xian's face in my mind, thinking that if I really wanted him to succeed, where would I have this face to go back to Chang'an?

Yu Wenrong danced his fists and said, "If you want to worry about my position, you Du Xian is still far away!" ”

He didn't think about Pei Min's intentions anymore, the more he thought about it, the more tired he became, so it was better to be more comfortable with Du Xian.

Du Xian left the household department, looked at the huge household department, and sighed: "Pei Xiang uses people, enemies and me, and there is no ghost!" ”

Back in Shangshu Province, Du Xian's eyebrows danced to report the situation to Pei Min, saying that Yu Wenrong was angry and didn't dare to say anything, which was physically and mentally happy.

Pei Min nodded when he heard this, and said, "Do you think Yu Wenrong is working hard, or breaking the jar?" ”

Du Xian replied without hesitation: "Pei Xiang is dragging Yu Wenrong's braids, how dare he not work?" He was not sure that Pei Xiang would keep his promise and recall him back to Chang'an. But he must know that if he doesn't do a good job, you will definitely remove him. And the position is still held by a certain opponent, with his character of not admitting defeat, nine times out of ten he does not want to see this scene. Even if Pei Xiang doesn't recall him back to Chang'an, he will work hard to prevent him from getting his wish. ”

After a pause, Du Xian asked tentatively: "If Yu Wenrong really does a good job, does Pei Xiang really plan to call him back?" ”

He was not less hostile and oppressed by Yu Wenrong in Chang'an, and he didn't have the slightest good impression of this opponent.

"Why not!" Pei Min said with a smile: "He really has to meet my requirements in Jiangnan, that is, his merit is in the community, and he is worthy of praise." To be a man, we must take a long-term view. What is the value of a little bit of benefit? The prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, and Brother Du is also the prime minister now, so why bother so much? Jiangnan affairs, if you want to develop and take shape, three years and five years are indispensable, and at that time, Brother Du is afraid that he will go one step further, and he still cares about a Yuwenrong? Maybe it's not me who will hold Yuwenrong in his hand at that time, it's you! ”

When Du Xian heard this, he also felt that it made sense, he hugged the right thigh, and he still had to worry about the future?

Be in a good mood!

Pei Min asked Du Xian to be responsible for sorting out the ordnance reserves of Chang'an, the Southern Ya Forbidden Army, and the Northern Ya Forbidden Army.

Du Xian's expression froze, and he said, "Pei Xiang, is this planning to do something to the forbidden army?" ”

Pei Min said: "What do you think of the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army? ”

Du Xian looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "This really doesn't look down on these forbidden troops, not to mention the strong soldiers like Liangzhou and Longyou under Pei Xiang, even the soldiers of the Anxi countries back then couldn't compare." To put it mildly, the fierce alien races such as Turgish and Qarlu are thanks to the many border generals who resist them. It really must be like the early days of Zhenguan, when the thieves suddenly came to the city. I estimated that the 100,000 forbidden army was either directly frightened and defeated, or it was reluctantly defeated by the battle. ”

Pei Min smiled quite embarrassedly, Du Xian was just casual nonsense, but Pei Min knew that this kind of thing had happened more than once in history.

It is said that the fall of the Tang Dynasty was due to the division of the feudal towns, but Pei Min has always felt that the division of the feudal towns was the reason for the demise of the Tang Dynasty, but in the final analysis, the key is that the strength of the central army is too weak.

As long as the Central Army is strong and can deter the border marshal, where will the border marshal dare to turn the sky?

It was because of the incompetence of the Central Army that the border commander was unscrupulous.

An Lushan was able to drive straight into the hinterland of the Central Plains, but also because the Tang Dynasty had not been at war for a long time, and the central army and the local army in the hinterland of the Central Plains had no combat effectiveness, which made An Lushan collapse in a battle.

Pei Min said: "I talked to Your Majesty about the issue of the Central Army as early as ten years ago, but Your Majesty favored Wang Maozhong and couldn't do it. Later, I was not in his position, and I couldn't start the rectification, so I could only mention Zhang Xiang and Li Xiang a few times, but it had no effect. Now that I am sitting in this position, I naturally cannot let the Central Army go into a mess. ”

Du Xian said worriedly: "Pei Xiang has this heart, but the relationship between the army and China is complicated, and there is really a big change, and there is a danger of mutiny." ”

Pei Min smiled: "Others don't dare, but I'm not afraid." I don't believe I'm here, how dare anyone! ”

Du Xian was stunned and thought of Pei Min's identity.

Zhang Shuo and Li Yuanhong are both civil officials, and they have been opposed to civil and military forces since ancient times.

It is natural that civilian officials cannot be trusted by military generals.

However, Pei Min is a military minister, the first marshal, the first person in the Tang Dynasty, and has unparalleled prestige among military ministers.

Moreover, the Longyou Army, known as the strongest soldier in the world, is near Guanzhong, and if there is really a mutiny, the Longyou Army will be able to serve the king as soon as possible.

Pei Min is completely fearless.

Pei Min does not intend to be in charge of the affairs of the Central Army by himself, a person's energy is limited, and he can't do everything.

According to the current situation in Datang, the Central Army has been eroded for more than ten years, and it is not bad for this period of time.

On the contrary, the situation in the Northeast is the first to bear the brunt, and Pei Min plans to deal with the chaos in the Northeast first, and then deal with other things.

When Pei Min first became Shangshu's left servant, he had the idea of reorganizing the Central Army, but he focused on the affairs of the Northeast and had no time to take care of it.

At that time, there was no one in the court who could be of great use, and Pei Min was not at ease to hand over this kind of thing to a literati who were not familiar with military affairs, so he temporarily suppressed it.

Now there is one more Li Yi, Li Yi's military level is still worth mentioning, let him train the Central Army, just so that he can display his talents.

Pei Min went directly to Menxia Province.

When the officials of Menxia Province learned of Pei Min's arrival, they happily informed Yuan Qianyao that he had gone.

Yuan Qianyao hurriedly came to greet him, and seeing that he was the only one, he hurriedly waved his hand and asked people to invite Li Yi.

Yuan Qianyao is a good man!

And he is a good old man who has been the prime minister for more than ten years, and he is the first person in the Tang Dynasty.

The good old man has no quarrel with the world, and his connections are the most terrifying.

Li Yi's existence threatened Yuan Qianyao's position, and Yuan Qianyao had no hostile intentions, and his subordinates had taken the initiative to exclude him.
