20. The lieutenant guards the forbidden army

"The great government is in the hands of the king, who in the world is not convinced? Your Majesty must know that the scholars, people, and soldiers of the world are not convinced by illusory reasoning, but by authority, wealth, power, and conspiracy. Gao Yue picked up the wat board and continued to talk, "Now today, the next thing is Fang Yin, Your Majesty urgently uses people who have practical benefits and practical results, in order to revitalize the military state, the crime is just a fictitious, the reason why the minister hopes that His Majesty will give Dou Shen the charge of 'Tongbo' is because of one, this crime can make Guandongfang Town have no 'Qingjun side' mouth; ”

"What Qing means is that Dou Shen's crime is Tongbo, and the only participants are Li Jingluo and Han Yougui, so as to ease the relationship between the imperial court and Kanto?"

"Yes, yes."

"That means that the next step of the imperial court in attacking and destroying the Tongwan City is to cut the feudal domain." When the Emperor said this, his tone cut out.

Gao Yue thought for a while and replied very cautiously: "The minister thinks that he should first let the army in the northwest of the Imperial Tang Dynasty gain a firm foothold in Helong, force Xifan to accept a peace that is greatly beneficial to our Tang Dynasty, and destroy the war force of Xifan that attacked our Tang Dynasty from behind when cutting the domain, so that the rear is safe, and he can use troops to the east with all his might, and the thieves of Huaixi, Ziqing, and Weibo will not be a problem." ”

"Which of the thieves comes first?"

"Huaixi." Gao Yue didn't think twice this time, "After the destruction of Caizhou, you can relieve the troubles of the imperial court's henchmen, and the Cai thief is both unruly, but the entrenched Shenguang Cai Sanzhou is the weakest in all the towns, as long as the imperial court is determined to exterminate, then you can use Du You's new Cao Yun plan to dig a ditch across Huaixi, and collect the wealth of the southeast, Jianghuai, and Jingxiang provinces for their own use, and the rest of the towns will not be a problem from then on." ”

The emperor nodded, and then he returned to the original topic, "These are inseparable from you in the third year of high school, I Baima Xuan, I hope you will be the minister of state, this is the idea, this is my sincere meaning, do not say thank you." ”

When he said this, he may have been too eager, and the emperor suddenly couldn't hold back completely, and said this half-truth: "You and I are two families, almost the same as Guo Fenyang and Emperor Su in the past, where can there be any suspicions?" As long as you promise me to be the prime minister, the Shence and the Shenwei Army will also be handed over to you for training, and my forbidden army will never be able to satisfy me with peace of mind after many internal and external troubles. ”

But the listener was intentional, Gao Yue sighed in his heart, could it be that the matter between me and Li Xuanshu was revealed!

However, Gao Yue is now experienced in a hundred battles, and he grabbed the second half of the emperor with a false shot, and he directly suggested to the emperor: "The six armies of the Son of Heaven are the foundation of the dynasty, and they must not be handed over to others, especially the ministers and clans, and only when they are handed over to the officials in the forbidden area can they rest assured." ”

Zhongguan is the emperor's domestic slave, and there is no possibility of usurping the throne.

Gao Yue went on to say that it was better to recall Wang Xiqian and Yin Zhizhen, and then set up the lieutenants of the "Shence Jingxi Battalion" and the "Shence Jingdong Battalion", and then set up the "Lieutenant of the Shenwei Army behind the Palace", a total of three lieutenants were in charge of the guards, and then set up an "internal and external privy envoy" in the imperial capital patrol supervisor, and the internal privy envoy participated in the maintenance and was responsible for the communication between the emperor and the ministers; The Outer Privy Envoys were responsible for the communication between the Emperor and Fang Zhenβ€”and the Inner and Outer Privy Envoys were also responsible for supervising and inspecting the entire capital.

In addition, Wen Si envoy is the "lieutenant official in charge of the central official", the Xuanhui envoy in the north and south is in charge of the miscellaneous utensils of the inner court, the inner village envoy is in charge of the royal industrial field, the flying dragon stable envoy is in charge of the horse mill in the inner and northwest of the ban, the inner treasury bow and arrow envoy is in charge of the money of the big Ying Qionglin, and the Shence and Shenwei treasury envoys are in charge of the rewards, armor staffs, and weapons of the forbidden army, and then the lieutenant is stationed as the supervising envoy of each army. In this way, the entire Daming Palace, the "inner court", also seems to have the functions required by the imperial court, and His Majesty can firmly control the imperial court and even the whole world without leaving the court.

What Gao Yue said was actually in the emperor's mind.

The emperor is a greedy person, which has long been caught by Gao Yue, and he is always more at ease with the domestic slaves than the ministers, especially after Yang Yan and Dou Shen were overthrown in turn, especially after he was full of suspicion and dissatisfaction with the prime minister.

So before the emperor spoke again, Gao Yue took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, then what's the use of being a subordinate servant?" ”

For a while, the emperor was speechless, but there was no answer.

Yes, since the power departments have been arranged, what do you have to do with Gao Yue, should you use it as an ornament?

Moreover, how could he bear to let Gao Yue do the decoration in his heart! He wants to squeeze Gao Yue's years and light and heat, and burn the copper furnace of the Emperor and Tang Dynasty to be vigorous, and he will be willing to burn it vividly.

Just like Wei Gao doesn't like to enter the court now, isn't it good to guard the southwest, you call him to be the prime minister, and the role will not be as big as that of the festival, but the problem is that the emperor still longs for the prime minister to have a flow procedure between the prime minister and the important town festival, so that they can also prevent them from threatening the court.

And Gao Yue seemed to have a soul with himself, and immediately said: "The minister will first be Pingqiang for Your Majesty, and then you can go down to the Zhongshu Gate for a period of time, and then ask Ying to go out of any important town in Shannandong, Eyue or Huainan for Your Majesty, in order to reduce the great cause of the domain!" ”

These words finally made the emperor very happy, he couldn't help but go down the steps, helped Gao Yue up, and then said: "I am the master, the Qing is outside, and then the entire northwest, Shuofang and Hedong military affairs, camp field will be entrusted to the Qing, Yiqing will continue to be the commander of the five armies of the imperial camp, the party to recruit the envoy, the party to proclaim the consolation, give the heavenly belt, deal with all kinds of matters cheaply, and have full authority to attack the rebellious Tongwan City!" ”

At this moment, the policy discussed between the emperor and Gao Yue was to comprehensively strengthen the power of the Northern Division (where the eunuchs were located) to replace the power that originally belonged to the prime minister Nanya, so that the emperor would completely override the entire court, and then state affairs would be equivalent to family affairs.

As for the message that Li Mi originally gave to the emperor when he was dying, it is difficult for the emperor to maintain even a vague memory of this.

In the pavilion of the Daming Palace, "Yi Song, did you resign from Bai Ma Xuanxia?" Lu Zhen, who was just about to dominate the government at the same time as Gao Yue and show his strength, asked Gao Yue himself in great surprise.

However, Gao Yue just said very plainly, His Majesty the military affairs in the frontier really can't entrust others, so I can hang the title of Tongping Zhangshi and do things specifically.

"However, originally Yisong, you were in charge of the three divisions of the imperial court, and you were the best and most ideal candidate to succeed Ban Xiaogong." Lu Zhen was surprised.

At this time, Gao Yue had something on his mind, he looked at Lu Zhen, he couldn't help it, and asked: "Lu Jiu, if the Holy Lord Bai Ma Xuan takes you as a servant of the door, or even a servant of the middle book, what do you want?" ”

"People are the state-oriented, reform tax abuses, live within the limits of income, lightly pay for the meager endowment, abolish private treasury, and fill the country." In the two years that Lu Zhen held a funeral for his mother, he also continued to think about his governance ideals in Songshan Fengle Temple.

Gao Yue clearly saw that when Lu Zhen said this, there was also an extremely infectious flame and light rising in his pupils.
