Fu Hai listened to Xiao Hui's words, and the context of the political situation in Daqi was clarified (the first thief of the Great Song Dynasty).

Since the beginning of last year, the contradiction between Xiao Hui and Huang Yuandu has gradually eased a bit, so the Imperial City Division and Dark Eagle have also reduced their fighting, so that they have been safe and quiet later (the latest chapter of hunting chess). Except for some waves because of the pursuit of Song Zheng, it was generally calm. The reason for this is that the two sides tried to cooperate and began to take charge of the Great Qi Dynasty in another way.

For those who have been in positions of power for a long time, the loss of power is equivalent to the loss of life, and it is the most painful thing. Whether it is Huang Yuandu or Xiao Jun, this is the case. When the little emperor was young, Huang Jiao was a woman and couldn't control the court, so she had to rely on Xiao Hui and Huang Yuandu. These two people, one is the younger brother-in-law and the other is the father, so a situation has been formed in which Huang Yuandu is in charge of the army and Huang Yuandu is in control.

Since the palace coup, Huang Jiao has been obsessed with eating fasting and reciting Buddha, and she is not a big director. Xiao Jun and Huang Yuandu also let go of their hands and feet, and their power expanded rapidly. After that, these two people who had worked together secretly began to crack. In order to balance, Huang Jiao had to come forward to press and adjust. As the little emperor grew up, Huang Jiao also realized the importance of rights and began to prepare for the little emperor's power.

Imperial power has its natural advantages. Coupled with the intensification of the contradiction between Huang Yuandu and Xiao Hui, Huang Jiao took advantage of the situation to take away a lot of authority. However, although Huang Jiao is extraordinary, she is not as good as Wu Zetian, and Huang Jiao basically does not go out of the palace except for going to the temple, so the two old foxes of Xiao Hui and Huang Yuandu still firmly control the government.

It is inevitable that the emperor will grow up, and last year, Xiao Hui and Huang Yuandu also realized that if they continued to fight, they would slowly lose the power in their hands. So, the two began to get closer, trying to keep the power in their hands.

Of course, the two of them were fighting for the little emperor at the same time. Huang Yuandu's side tried to pull him into his own political thinking by instilling science and teaching political affairs to the little emperor. And Xiao Hui sent the little nobleman into the palace early, and gave the little emperor a companion, and invested in another aspect.

Throughout the relationship between Xiao Hui and Huang Yuandu, it is from cooperation to confrontation and then to cooperation. The initial cooperation was naturally to deal with the former ministers of the first emperor Gaozong, especially the old forces led by Han Zhong. When this force was almost eliminated, a rift arose between the two. There are constant contradictions between the military and the government, and the Imperial City Division and the Dark Eagle are also in conflict. Now, as the situation has changed, the two have tried to work together.

However, in Fu Hai's view, both Xiao Hui and Huang Yuandu have hidden worries (read the full text of the Three Thousand Crows Killing). There is no child behind him, and there is no successor. At the same time, the problem of redundant troops has always existed. If disarmament is to be made, the rights in hand will inevitably be affected. If we do not disarm, with Daqi's current finances, we will not be able to supply military supplies, and if it continues for a long time, there will be great chaos, and we will not be able to control it at that time. However, regarding the financial problems of Daqi, Fu Hai also believes that Daqi is not without money, but that the money is in the hands of the Jiangnan clan, and Huang Yuandu did not rely on the identity of a prince in order to ascend to the throne, but also relied on the support of the Jiangnan clan.

Huang Yuandu, on his side, betrayed too many interests to the Jiangnan clan and was almost kidnapped. Even if Huang Yuandu wants to take it back, he is powerless, and he can only restrict it through some political tricks. The financial problem is essentially open source and throttling. Naturally, throttling expenditure is to disarm, and open source is to take back all the rights of salt, wine, and mines that originally belonged to the state. And Huang Yuandu's problem is that he can neither throttle nor open source. The entire Great Qi was maintained only by the field tax. But which of those Jiangnan clans doesn't occupy millions of hectares of fertile land? Escape the field tax in every possible way.

When Taizu went south, in order to obtain the support of the Jiangnan clan, the tax standard was very low. Including land tax, salt, wine, mining and other tax rates, are far lower than the previous Great Song Dynasty. In the later period of Emperor Taizong, the financial problems were obvious. Earlier, in order to defend against foreign enemies, the poll tax was temporarily increased in addition to the field tax. However, as the situation calmed down, Taizong showed compassion for the people, and the poll tax was abolished. However, at that time, the salt tax and other taxes that were exclusive to the imperial court were still in the hands of the imperial court, so they were generally maintained.

The same was true during the Gaozong period, but Gaozong was high-spirited and dreamed of restoring the territory of the former Great Song Dynasty. I want to promote the war, experience the consumption of redundant soldiers, and I want to forcibly raise the tax rate to support the war. However, the army of Daqi is no longer the elite soldiers of the founding of the country, and the Jiangnan clan is no longer the great clan that fully supported the country before.

As a result of Gojong's forcible push, a palace coup took place. Although Fu Hai didn't know the details, at the root, he still thought that Gaozong himself was too high-spirited, but his talent was insufficient, and he was relatively "benevolent", which led to his own insecurity. In the later period of Gaozong, due to poor health, he was already in a semi-crazy state, and there was no step-by-step strategy, and it was inevitable that he would be buried in the fire in the end.

The loss of control of the imperial power over the military power and the regime led to the expansion of the military power and the regime, and the result of the expansion was to replace it with an obedient emperor (the invincible rancher read the full text). Thus, the little emperor was born. Five-year-old Xiao Ying is naturally more suitable than the eight-year-old prince Xiao Yan. Of course, there are sibling conflicts, harem battles, and even some emotional entanglements in the middle, which are extremely complicated.

Fu Hai has long been one of Xiao Hui's henchmen. However, it is still far from where it is now. Since the palace coup, a few people around Xiao Hui have mysteriously disappeared, making Fu Hai, who did not participate in the coup, come out.

Fu Hai knew that the few who disappeared must be related to the palace coup d'état that year. Faced with such a ruthless master, Fu Hai trembled day by day. Sometimes, he had to deliberately hide his clumsiness to make his master happy. Just like just now, Xiao Hui asked about the meaning of Song Zheng's "want to leave", and he had already guessed it, but after observing his words and expressions, he still deliberately said to the wrong side, so that Xiao Hui had room to exert his wisdom.

Thinking of all of the above, Fu Hai couldn't help but lament in his heart, even if he was familiar with the history of Daqi and knew the crux of the problem, but his current status was decided, he had to follow the idea of Xiao Hui, and he didn't dare to have the slightest disobedience. It's really that the master in front of him is too powerful, his eyes are vicious, and the conspiracy is even less matched. Sometimes Fu Hai would think, perhaps, if Taizong had chosen to be the emperor at the beginning, he would probably be much better than Gaozong.

Fu Hai was silent for a long time, while Xiao Hui closed his eyes and tasted another cup of wonderful tea.

After a while, Xiao Hui said slowly, "The Tuntian you talked about two days ago, but you have a detailed plan?" ”

The sudden voice woke Fu Hai up, and he hurriedly replied, "Lord Wang, I think so. Due to the extreme shortage of military salaries in various states and regions, it is better to fend for some livelihood. In the early years of the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, there were frequent wars, so Taizu ordered each state to form garrison battalions as a reserve army. and stipulates that these reserve armies are focused on military training and are not allowed to engage in livelihoods. At that time, in order to motivate the sergeants, the standard of salary was also relatively high. But now the situation is different, and we can follow the example of the former Song Dynasty in forming a local military system. In the former Song Dynasty, there were Yongxing Army, Guangde Army and the like. We can also use the land of a small state in each circle of the eleventh road of Daqi as a military service. The sergeants of the garrison battalions of the various states were concentrated in the area, where they cultivated the land during the busy hours and engaged in military training during the slack hours. In this way, there is no need to lay off the sergeants, and the problem of military pay can be solved. ”

"And what about the military garrisons of the states?"

Fu Hai knew what Xiao Jun was worried about, although the garrison commanders of the states were nominally controlled by the Zhizhou, but due to the huge number of sergeants, even far exceeding the number of officials at all levels in the state, in fact, the Zhizhou could not control the garrison at all (the agent was in another world). This is also the reason why Xiao Jun can compete with Huang Yuandu. To put it bluntly, if there are enough sergeants in the local area, power can be guaranteed. If the soldiers were concentrated, they would lose the ability to control the states.

Fu Hai pondered for a moment and said, "We can transfer two-thirds of the military strength of the garrison battalions in each state to use it in Tuntian. The remaining third, still stationed in the state. At present, the garrison battalions of the states have five or six thousand people, and two thousand people. Draw two-thirds, and still ensure the garrison of the states. And this third is also a rotation. Our military service is six years, and it rotates every two years. ”

Xiao Hui hummed softly, closed his eyes and thought again. After a cup of tea, Xiao Hui said, "You ask Dong Lancheng to take a breath over there and see what it means." If it can be done, it is also a good thing. However, I guess it's not easy to agree over there, moving to a state of people, the matter is too big, and there are too many things involved. If there is really a desire to promote this, you can also come out with a condition. In short, the sergeants must not be allowed to suffer. ”

Fu Hai nodded hurriedly.

"Alright, you go down." Xiao Jun waved his hand.

Fu Hai bowed down and withdrew. However, in less than a cup of tea, Fu Hai came in again and whispered a few words in a low voice.

Xiao Juni's eyes widened suddenly, "What? Are you finished saying that Yan Yusheng's secret envoy arrived in Daqi? ”

"Yes, we're in Tokyo now. Duan Blade settled him down temporarily, and sent Xiao Zhen to report to the palace. ”

"You call Xiao Zhen in, I'll ask him."

Soon, Xiao Zhen entered the Moushi House and came to the Juniper House. Without waiting for him to salute, Xiao Hui asked, "The Great Golden Secret Envoy has arrived in Tokyo?" ”

"Back to the prince, it is (the latest chapter of the top cow)! When we arrived in Dajin that day, we had agreed with Wan Yan Yusheng on a communication channel, and after the Daikin envoy crossed the river, he was immediately escorted to the secret place of the Imperial City Division. Deputy Duan's commander asked Xiao Xun to be responsible for placing them, and asked me to come to Jiangning as soon as possible to report to the prince. ”

"Who is here?"

"The name of the person who came called Wan Yan Zhangzong, the prince must have seen it, this person is Wan Yan Yusheng's teacher, and he is currently the secretary of the Dajin Rite Department."

"Zhang Zong? How could Wanyan Yusheng be willing to send him out? Presumably the picture is not small? ”

"The prince sees it clearly. Zhang Zong revealed that Emperor Dajin wanted to marry our Daqi! ”

"Married? Isn't there already a queen after Yan Yusheng? Was it not so long ago that it was established? ”

Fu Hai said, "Exactly, in October of the previous year, Wanyan Yusheng married the daughter of the female Xi Lie tribe and became the queen. ”

"He has just been established, what kind of marriage is he going to marry us?"

Xiao Zhen replied, "Zhang Zong revealed that Wanyan Yusheng wanted to marry the concubine. ”

"Although Concubine Zheng is the first person under the queen, she is not the queen after all. If he wants our princess of Daqi to be the concubine, he really dares to think about it! What's more, although Jin Qi is relaxed now, he is still in a state of opposition after all, and it may not be realistic for him to marry the princess. ”

"Wanyan Yusheng wants to marry not Princess Yun, but Lord Wei." Xiao Zhen replied.

"Want to marry Wei'er?" Xiao Hinoi's eyes widened violently, and he sat up! ~
