Chapter 139: Persuasion

Dai Yougui nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too!" However, if the prince wants to become a generation of masters, the first thing to do is to solve the problem of local feudal towns. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

"Now that my Huainan has become a country, the reason why there are Tian Yan, An Renyi, Zhu Yanshou and the like, in the final analysis, is that these people have both military power and civil affairs in the local area, and even have a great decision-making power over local personnel. What is the difference between a feudal town? ”

Li Chengsi nodded again and again, this point can be seen by anyone with a little knowledge, the power of assassination in various places is too great, if it is less ambitious, it is better to say, at most in their own territory, do whatever they want; If they are ambitious, they will have ideas that they shouldn't have like Tian Yan, and in the final analysis, it is their excessive power that provides them with the possibility of rebellion.

However, this system is caused by the flood of the festival system since the Tang Dynasty, when there were only ten festival envoys in the world during the Tianbao period, and they were all located in the border; Later, the imperial court's control over the local area became weaker and weaker, and there were more and more festival envoys who were sealed, and the back cover was more concentrated in the heartland.

This kind of system has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in today's world, so that those who have become the envoys of moderation desperately want to keep their rights; And those generals who have not yet become festival envoys are bent on making meritorious contributions and then being crowned festival envoys; Similarly, although the lords of the various feudal towns developed from the Jiedu Envoys, they continued to canonize new Jiedu Envoys in order to win over their generals and ensure their loyalty.

Nowadays, many of the knots are not even more than a state, and although the history of those states does not have a knot, there are knots to make it real.

I only heard Dai Yougui continue: "The prince once proposed to solve the problem of local feudal towns, and the best way is to implement the separation of military and government, and the local assassins no longer hold military power, and the generals in charge of local garrisons no longer control civil affairs. Military generals are responsible for local garrisons, and civilian officials are selected to be responsible for civil affairs, so that they can check each other and reduce the possibility of local autocracy. What does the general think of this solution? ”

Li Chengsi frowned, of course, this method can weaken the local feudal towns, the emergence of local separatist forces in history began with the integration of military and civil affairs, the state pastor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the festival envoy of this dynasty are all like this.

But what does this have to do with him? Why did Dai Yougui specifically talk to him about this?

"What the prince said is very true, this method is indeed effective, but it is ......," Li Chengji said with some doubts.

Dai Yougui asked about something else with a smile: "The general has come to Huainan with General Shi Yan and General Zhu Jin six years ago, but the general and General Shi have been favored by the king at the same time, they can also be deeply trusted by the king and have repeatedly entrusted important tasks; And although General Zhu Jin has also been favored, he has always been idle in Guangling, can the general know why? ”

Li Chengsi was stunned, but he didn't expect Dai Yougui to suddenly come here. He, Shi Yan and Zhu Jin were treated by Yang Xingmi at the same time, but Zhu Jin had no rights over the years, and even the thousands of troops he brought were deprived by Yang Xingmi's secret methods, such as his henchman Hou Zan is now following Yang Wu to fight, although he is still very respectful to Zhu Jin, but he is no longer Zhu Jin's general.

However, Li Chengsi and Shi Yan were more reused, the last time Yang Xingmi's expedition to Suzhou was to let Li Chengsi stay in Guangling and take care of the affairs of the Jiedu Embassy, and this time he also let him take action against Zhu Yanshou; And Shi Yan has also gone on many expeditions with the army. Both of them have no small amount of real power.

Of course, Li Chengsi also knows the reason for this, after all, Li Chengsi and Shi Yan were just Li Keyong's generals at the beginning, and they only wanted to lead troops to fight in their hearts, and they didn't have much desire for power. Hope.

However, Zhu Jin was the envoy of the Taining Army, and his means of becoming the envoy of the Taining Army was to first pretend to marry the daughter of Qi Kerang, the envoy of the Taining Army at that time, and then lead the army to dress up as a wedding team, and suddenly captured Qi Kerang on the night of marriage, and finally became the envoy of the Festival.

After becoming the envoy of Shangjiedu, Zhu Jin vigorously expanded his army, and fought with Zhu Quanzhong for more than ten years before he was defeated and fled to Jianghuai to take refuge in Yang Xingmi. Such a fierce man, even if he is in trouble in Guangling now, Yang Xingmi does not dare to trust him, and the military power is not given to him at all.

Li Chengji knew the reason for this, but this kind of remark was really not enough for outsiders, so he replied: "I think it is because the king is cautious." ”

Dai Yougui shook his head with a smile and said, "The reason why the general can be reused is because you have no foundation in Huainan, and you don't have much desire for power. Hope, that's why the king can trust you! ”

Li Chengsi didn't expect him to be so direct, and he couldn't help but be stunned, only to see Dai Yougui continue: "The reason why I am telling you this is that I hope that after the Tianyu Rebellion is calmed down, you can take the lead in writing and resigning from the position of assassin history, only retain the military position, and take the initiative to implement the policy of separating the military from the government!" At that time, General Li Shenfu will also go to the book with you! Of course, this also means that you may offend other generals! ”

"This ......"

Li Chengsi was shocked, he didn't expect Dai Yougui to suddenly make such a request. Indeed, if Yang Wu or Yang Xingmi proposed to carry out the separation of military and political affairs, it would be too offensive to people, and it would easily cause a backlash from the generals, after all, everyone more or less had the idea of being a local "soil emperor" in their hearts, and the policy of separating the military and the government would definitely lead to dissatisfaction among some people as soon as it was proposed.

But by Li Chengsi, Li Shenfu such a prestigious general put forward the effect is different, Li Shenfu and Li Chengsi, like Li Chengsi, has deep prestige in the Huainan Army, loyal to Yang Xingmi, and does not have much desire for power, when Dai Yougui secretly found him, Li Shenfu did not hesitate to resign from the position of Shengzhou Assassin and concentrate on serving as a general.

If these two generals take the lead in proposing to separate the military from the government, the dissatisfaction of the other generals will certainly be much lowered, and with the fact that the rebellion in Tianyan has just been put down, this force will certainly be able to smoothly implement the policy of separating the military from the government.

It's just that the dissatisfaction with Yang Xingmi's father and son may be transferred to Li Chengsi and Li Shenfu.

Li Chengsi groaned slightly, then nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you can serve the king and the prince, what's the harm if you offend other generals?" ”

He served as the position of the assassin as early as twenty years ago, and at that time, Yang Xingmi was just a Luzhou assassin, and naturally he didn't have much attachment to the position of the Shouzhou assassin who had just been appointed.

As for offending people, he is also a foreign general anyway, and he is already faintly excluded in the Huainan Army, and it is not a big deal to offend some people, but to make Yang Wu, who is already destined to be the next King of Wu, trust him, why not?

Seeing that Li Chengsi nodded in agreement, Dai Yougui smiled, got up and said, "Okay, this is the last thing I will do for the king." Since I met the king in Luzhou that year, it has been 20 years now, and the thatched house in the mountains has long been dilapidated, right? It's better to leave, it's better to leave! ”

After that, Dai Yougui drifted away, and there has been no news since.
