18. Sanchuan hope has been lost

The so-called selection and retreat of the envoy is to ask the 8,000 Bao army brought by Fan Xichao to enter the establishment of the Shenwei Army, backed by force, and then select those who are not qualified from the old army, as well as those who occupy false positions, and all of them are cleared and retired, and the elite forbidden army.

The new emperor Li Yu instructed Liu Chang that several lumberyards, mining and smelting fields, and quarries in Fengxiang, Longdong and Longyou will be managed by you, and the timber and ore produced in the future will be owned by your Shenwei Army for the construction of the palace, temple, and government office of the Jingshi, that is to say, this batch of projects is contracted to the Shenwei Army, which not only reduces the burden on the people, but also makes the Shenwei Army have a share of the profits, and they are all happy.

The duty of the Wucheng temple construction envoy is to respect the temple of Wucheng King Jiang Ziya, and build it to be more majestic, in order to highlight the national policy of the Tang Dynasty's equal emphasis on civil and military. As for Yu, it will also be announced on the first day of the middle moon of spring and autumn every year.

The new emperor used the word "Zhao" instead of a slightly inferior "sacrifice", which shows that the status of Wucheng Wang Temple will soon be equivalent to Wenxuan Wang Temple, expressing the new emperor's determination to revive the Tang Dynasty's martial arts.

As for Zhang Wanfu, the new emperor said very gently that the old general's merits are high, and he will be of great use.

So next, Fan Xichao came to the camp of the left and right armies behind the Shenwei Hall without hindrance, beat the drum horn, ordered the soldiers and horses to be reviewed, and selected more than 1,000 disabled, mentally retarded, and short people who were too short to serve in the army in one day, and then the seal of Wang Xiqian, the lieutenant of the Shenwei Army, was withdrawn, and he was stripped of the authority of the lieutenant of the Protector Army, and went to the guest province to be punished.

The books of the Shenwei Army were all owned by Fan Xichao, so he exhausted the problem of false occupation and registration, and finally found that the number of 30,000 Shenwei Army, a full 12,000 were empty salaries, and the nominal names were all merchants or market children in Chang'an, so as to evade taxes!

When the news came, the new emperor was furious, and then informed the Nanya Zai to deal with it through the general affairs house, and finally the prime ministers and Wen Si made Wang Zhongyan discuss, and Wang Xi moved the staff to fifty years, and Changliu Yazhou was not allowed to move for life. The 8,000 sons of the Bao army were quickly incorporated into the Shenwei Left and Right Army, and Fan Xichao was asked to select one or two thousand soldiers from all over Gyeonggi who had the ambition to serve the country, were physically strong, and were proficient in martial arts, and then supplemented them.

Similarly, Guo Forging also sat in the courtyard of Daming Palace, holding the hands of his subordinates, crying bitterly, saying that the situation of the new deal is like this, and I have no choice but to retreat, everyone is good to gather and disperse, if there is any mistake, Wang Fa will not spare me, nor will I spare you, but if the selection and retreat go smoothly, in the future, I Guo Forging will have something to eat in the cardinal's courtyard, and I will never owe you a spoonful of soup.

Therefore, the Imperial City Division Jinwu Soldiers and Horses, the work of selection and withdrawal was carried out very quickly and smoothly, and soon Guo Forging reported that the new emperor's policy of selection and withdrawal is simply a long-term drought and rain, and now the weather in the Imperial City Division is new, and all the soldiers are full of energy, and they are unwilling to contribute to the long-term peace and stability of the Beijing Division. The emperor and Nan Ya were very happy and specially comforted Guo Foran.

For a time, even the lieutenant officials outside the imperial city were scared to death: the envoys of the supervising armies of Hedong, Zelu, Hezhong, and Shence came to express themselves one after another, saying that they would take the initiative to return the supervising military seal.

The second prime minister Zheng Qi sent a table to the new emperor, saying that it was the most uncourteous to supervise the army with eunuchs, but it was an expedient policy during the Su Dynasty, since the imperial government was retro, then the lieutenant system had to be abolished, and the policy of sending eunuchs to supervise the army had to be abolished, so the new emperor asked, in Zheng Xianggong's opinion, how should the military salute be?

Zheng Qi went to the table again, saying that the national events, in the worship in Rong, the military salute should be the emperor personally to the Taimiao to pay tribute, march the military salute, and then choose the pro-virtuous to lead the army, and the cardinal board made a plan to select the tooth general counselor, and the "pro-sage" is the relative or virtuous minister, with the prince sitting in the camp, the virtuous minister holds the opportunity, the emperor gave the festival Yue, to the pro-virtuous to ask for the right to kill, deter the minions and tiger generals in the camp, drive them to open up territory for the country, make meritorious contributions, and then send the imperial history supervisor to supervise the military discipline Lubu, and after the triumph of the pro-virtuous army, Then immediately hand over the military power and return the Jieyue, so that it is most appropriate and convenient.

The new emperor initially agreed with Zheng Qi's opinion, but because he was afraid that the Zhongguan group was still too big, he left Zheng Qi's seal in the middle, without a clear reply, let alone a public announcement.

Therefore, the eunuchs in other towns are still the same for the time being.

After the Shenwei Forbidden Army was reorganized at lightning speed, Jia Tan of the Cardinal's House officially joined forces with Zaitang to fly out of the text, demanding that all the Yue who came to Beijing to seal Chan should immediately return to their respective towns without delay.

With the effectiveness of the army as a reliant cousin, it is naturally unusual.

In winter, there was no snow in Chang'an, but it rained in ice.

Jiannan entered the courtyard, Wei Gao's wingmen came and went to pack up, and Wei Gao stood in the hall, with a faint unhappiness in his heart, he put his hands behind his back, first saw Liu Pi under the corridor, wanted to say something, but he wanted to say something, and then he came to Cui Zuo.

"Although the imperial court has given Ba Kui to me, the key gateways to the east and west of Sichuan are Xingyuan and Fengxiang! Without these two places, Shu is a doorless household, outsiders can drive straight into it at any time, and the court has not given it to me so far, it should be, and it is wary and suspicious of me. Wei Gao actually regretted it a little, and before Cui Zuoshi could answer, he whispered emotionally, "This time I have inner meditation...... This order has contributed a lot, and it can be said that it is not the minister of Yi Dai who is not the new emperor, but it ...... Is it a way to reward a mere three-way river unity, but so far no one has agreed to this order? ”

Cui Zuoshi didn't know how to answer Wei Gao, and his mind was full of confusion.

In the end, Wei Gao was a little unhappy, and his voice suddenly became higher, "I see that the new emperor's various new policy measures must be guided by a master, and this level is by no means something that Liu Zongyuan, Liu Yuxi, and the two kings' ministers of small arts can achieve." ”

"Isn't it Du Huangshang and Lu Zhen?"

Wei Gao flicked his sleeves and never spoke again.

As a result, when they set off from Dutingyi the next day and arrived at the Xiwei Bridge, they suddenly got even more shocking news:

Following in the footsteps of Fan Xichao, Jing Saijun Dai Xiu? Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Jingze and Gao Gu, the jiedu envoys of the Xingyuan Dingwu Army and the Fengxiang Yining Army, also sent envoys to the Beijing Division, and asked Zaitang and the new emperor to "return the copyright", hand over the state and county to Zaitang for disposal, hand over the armed forces for the disposal of the Cardinal, and hand over the Jingjie for the disposal of the new emperor.

The imperial court reacted immediately, first merging Qinzhou, Chengzhou, Weizhou and Fengxiang Prefecture to form the "Longxi Province", while Xingyuan was directly upgraded to "Shannan Province", and Zhang Jing and Gao Gu were directly converted from military ministers to the provincial Pingzhangshi, and the management of the town and the soldiers and horses remained unchanged.

Wei Gao was shocked, and didn't dare to say more in the rain, "Zhang Jingze, Gao Gu ......" He could only bury the next words in his chest, with resentment and dissatisfaction, led two thousand Fengyi troops to hurriedly cross the boundary of "Shannan Province" and return to the capital of Shu.
