"Your Majesty, the minister's idea is that Wei Gao's position and integrity will not change, but his feudal request should also be refused." Lu Zhen showed his heart.

The emperor sighed and affirmed Lu Zhen's idea.

But his anger has not completely dissipated, and now in the emperor's heart, it seems that only the fact that Wei Gao and Gao Yue can enter Beijing to visit the pilgrimage and lift the festival can really calm him down.

At this moment, Zheng Qi in the prime minister's train came out and said to the emperor: "Actually, the minister has a friend who has an opinion on this, and it seems to be quite reasonable to look at it from the minister's point of view, please try to discuss it for Your Majesty." ”

The emperor looked at Zheng Qi and asked, "Zheng Qing, who is your friend?" ”

"Huainan Jiedu envoy, Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Governor's History, Gao Yue." Zheng Qi knew that the emperor had guessed who it was, so he simply admitted it generously.

The Emperor laughed and said nothing.

The atmosphere in the entire Yanying Hall was extremely tense, Du Huangsheng, Lu Zhen and Han Wei thought to themselves, Zheng Qi, Zheng Qi, I originally thought that you were "making friends out of nothing", but I didn't expect that it was really Gao Yue's plan for you.

But it was precisely because of this that everyone wiped the sweat for Zheng Qi.

"If Your Majesty is unwilling to discuss the state and political system with the minister, the minister will not say more, and Gao Yue will personally write Your Majesty."

"Zheng Qing said that it doesn't matter, I was angry before, but I couldn't look down on a mad scribe like Liu Pi, and my words were not inferior." The Emperor's head calmed down a little.

Moreover, the emperor was also eager to know what Gao Yue's thoughts and attitudes were.

Zheng Qi then took up the elephant wat and said: "The minister thinks that if His Majesty insists on replacing the Jiannan and Huainan festivals, there will inevitably be chaos, and Zhongxing may be ruined. However, Gao Yue promised in a letter to his ministers that he would serve as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu for another two years, and then agree to return to the court directly, never coercing the military and the army, and never treating Jingjie as a private property. ”

This made the emperor's face hot and uncomfortable.

"The predecessor of the Wu Yi Army was the Yining Army and the Dingwu Army, which were cultivated by him Gao Yue, and he was willing?"

"The minister is not familiar with military affairs, but the minister knows that as long as His Majesty gives Gao Yue another town, Gao Yue can still practice a martial army."

"Then I want to abandon Gao Yue!"

Zheng Qi said indifferently: "Gao Yue is in Huaiyang, and he has led the military academy in the palace to write and other books, print and preserve them, and hand them over to the martial arts academy students to study, so Your Majesty can abandon Gao Yue, and you don't have to worry that there is no successor to my Tang military academy." ”

The emperor wanted to show his authority, but he was stabbed by Zheng Qi without being salty, which was even more embarrassing.

Below, Zheng Qi said: "In fact, the momentum that Liu Zongyuan said is the sage's initiative to open the heavens, and the fortune of the world is one. Although feudalism is not feasible, but the county must also be reformed, Gao Yue said in his letter to the minister, that is, 'keep the feudal heart, stay in the county system'. The disadvantage of feudalism lies in the fact that the princes are autocratic, and their power over the people in their territory is unrestrained; The disadvantage of the county is that the county only has the power to govern, but has no decision-making power, and if the Son of Heaven and the minister cruelty to the people, the county can only help the abuse. Therefore, thinking at both ends, the best plan is to let the center make fewer mistakes and let the local multiplication of products, and the specific way is to allow the virtuous to enter and exit the center and the locality, so that the government can be corrected, the holy lord can be defended, and the system can be improved locally to benefit the people of the world. Therefore, Gao Yue believes that Shilu and Shijue are never desirable, but the position of power that can be guarded must be there, and in addition, in order to avoid separation, the position of power must also be transferred. ”

"What's the explanation?"

Gao Yue proposed that the history of assassination and county orders are limited to four examinations, but most of them are transferred to other places after only one or two examinations. However, if it is forced to let the assassin history and the county order be transferred after the four examinations, it is contrary to human feelings and too rigid, so Gao Yue believes that as long as the selection and appointment of the shouzai level can be guaranteed, no matter how many exams the assassin history and the county order are, they can do some performance for the people under the supervision and assessment of the shouzai. Therefore, the minister replaced Gao Yue and pleaded with His Majesty to retro the Taiwan system. ”

"Okay, the line?"

Zheng Qi immediately corrected: "Taiwan Province and Taiwan Province, in fact, according to the rules of my Tang Dynasty, it is more appropriate to call it a provincial system, that is, to change Fangzhen Fan Road to a province of Xingzhongshu, with prefectures and counties. The province of the book in the line is in the local government office, sent by the prime minister under the door of the Zhongshu, with the Zhongshu Shilang or the door Shilang Pingzhangshi, 'the book in the line is in a certain way', which is equivalent to the front town festival degree envoy; Xingzhongshu Province or Province, in charge of local people, taxes, soldiers, schools, temples and merits, with a period of five or ten years, more is easy to be divided, less is redundant, if there is no big mistake after the expiration of the period, you must return to the Zhongshu Sect to succeed as the prime minister. When the prime minister saves trouble in a certain place, once he understands the suffering of the people, he can call for innovation when he is in the center, and the same innovation concept of the prime minister in the center can also benefit the local area with the book in the line, and although the position of the province and the door of the book are different, they are both prime ministers, and they can also communicate when they are in power. In this way, the chronic disease of people resenting the subordinates and the officials fearing the superiors under the county system can also be alleviated. ”

After listening to what Zheng Qi said, no, in fact, after listening to Gao Yue's opinions and plans, the emperor understood that Gao Yue was more ruthless than Wei Gao.

Although Wei Gao is arrogant, but after all, he is not as cunning as Gao Yue, Wei Gao generally still wants to rely on prestige, armament, meritorious service, these inconstant things, for the private family to fight for the feudal lord Shilu, his vision roughly ends here, the biggest pattern is to dominate the Sanchuan land and build the Wei Kingdom.

But Gao Yue is different, he is like a seasoned hunter, he never teaches the truth morally, but he frequently shoots at the "dead hole" of the political system, and he is ruthless and vicious, and what he wants, he will not only go all out, but also form regulations, step by step, make it constant, which is very consistent with his military thinking.

This kind of regulation is naturally in conflict with the freewheeling imperial power.

In addition, Gao Yue keenly captured, in fact, the ancients did not love the imperial power, from the Han to the Tang Dynasty, there were more people who criticized the imperial power, so this time Gao Yue ostensibly withdrew from the county and feudal arguments, but privately concluded an alliance with the prime minister's group, and took the opportunity to strike later.

First of all, in the entire Yeonyeong Palace, the prime ministers reached an agreement and pleaded with the emperor that the policy of this country should be implemented.

"Hmph, it's a lot of fanciful, can Wei Gao and Du You agree? If Wei Du can give me a deadline to return to the court, then I will believe it. The emperor was not impressed.

In fact, the emperor secretly resorted to a strategy of mixing different theories, intending to sow discord between Wei Gao, Gao Yue and Du You in the provincial system, so that they would be suspicious of each other and reap the benefits themselves.
