Chapter 685: Proceedings in the Palace

Early in the morning, before dawn, Gao Yihuan was woken up by the female official and came out of Zhu Yujiao's Qifeng Palace.

After he washed up a little, Zhao Juan brought the maid and brought a bowl of porridge, Gao Yihuan directly raised his head and drank it, smashed it and smashed his mouth, and asked, "What kind of porridge is this, weird." ”

Zhao Juan said with a smile: "The king is out on a campaign, and his body is tired, so the concubine specially asked people to cook deer kidney and red ginseng porridge, which is warm and replenished." Does the king want a bowl? ”

Gao Yihuan waved his hand and said, "No need, wait for the lonely at night!" ”

After speaking, he put the bowl back on the tray, stood up, held the jade belt around his waist, and went to the Fengtian Hall to accept the worship of hundreds of officials.

At this time, it was only five watches, and the east had just turned white, and the city of Xi'an was active.

In the past, the city of Xi'an was still silent at this time, but with the establishment of the capital of the Western Wei State here, a large number of officials and noble families moved into the city, as well as tens of thousands of troops garrisoning inside and outside the city, which brought an increase in population and great vitality to Xi'an.

The officials in the city who want to go to the yamen to report, the guys in the shops, the nurses of the big families, and the craftsmen in the workshops have become frequent visitors to small restaurants, teahouses, and noodle stalls, driving the development of Xi'an City.

At this time, people walked through the street, and saw the breakfast stall next to it, steaming hot, the steamer was uncovered to reveal a fist-sized meat bun, a spoonful of hot oil poured on the large bowl of noodles, and then served to the diners, which aroused the appetite.

From time to time in the streets, horse-drawn carriages passed by, with lanterns of their masters, and they traveled from all over the city in one direction to the royal palace to attend the court.

The Western Wei State did not hold a court meeting every day, but a small court on the 10th, a big dynasty on the 30th, and the cabinet handled the government affairs in ordinary times.

Gao Yihuan left Wang Jing for a few months, and the political affairs of the Western Wei State were still able to operate, because the Western Wei State had established a complete administrative system and the corresponding official system.

The evolution of China's system was already quite advanced by the time of the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty cabinet did not need the emperor to worry much about government affairs.

The carpenter emperor of the old Zhu family, Emperor Daojun, there were many emperors who were criticized by later generations, it can be said that the emperor was not diligent in government, but from another aspect, it was the cabinet mechanism of the Ming Dynasty, and the bureaucracy and the state could also operate without the excessive participation of the emperor.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, it was too long ago to now, and the official system of the Western Wei State could only inherit the official system of the Ming Dynasty, and some small changes were made on the basis of the official system of the Ming Dynasty.

Now the official system of the Western Wei Dynasty is not much different from that of the Ming Dynasty, Gao Yihuan delegated power to the cabinet in political affairs, while he only firmly grasped the military power.

At this time, in front of the palace gate, there have been a lot of civil and military ministers, all of whom are discussing Sichuan and dealing with the Mongols, until the guards come out to announce that the officials enter to meet the king, this group of civil and military ministers, only hurriedly lined up in formation, and marched to the palace in a hurry.

Not long after, Gao Yihuan entered the main hall and stood high on the throne, and all the ministers immediately saluted and shouted in unison, "Meet the king!" ”

"Let's all be exempt!" Gao Yihuan was wearing a black dragon robe, wearing a winged crown on his head, and raised his hand in a very stylish manner, and when the ministers stood up straight, he smiled and said: "The lonely king has been absent from the capital for many days, and the normal operation of the feudal mansion depends on all the ministers. This time, the lonely king went to Bashu and returned victorious, which should have been celebrated, but the heart of the Manchu Dynasty and my Great Wei did not die, and the celebration would be carried out later! ”

After a superficial discussion of some matters, the court meeting ended.

At the court meeting, Gao Yihuan actually did not discuss any confidential matters with the ministers, the court meeting just gave the courtiers a channel to speak out, giving them a chance to directly put forward their opinions to him without going through the cabinet, or to discuss and discuss some important matters that can be said on the surface, such as whether the capital should be moved or not.

Matters related to the security of the Western Wei State, or the secrecy of military operations, will not be discussed in detail at the court meeting.

After the court meeting, Gao Yihuan summoned several scholars and relevant officials in the study, and only then officially began to discuss the issue of Mongolia's southward movement.

In the study, Gao Yihuan sat on the throne with a golden knife, and Li Yan, Chen Mingxia, Lu Yifang, Gao Yicheng and others sat on both sides.

At this time, Gao Yihuan waved his hand to let the maid serving the tea retreat, and then asked: "Yicheng, this time the Manchus colluded with Mongolia, does Dolgon plan to send troops with Mongolia, or only Mongolia goes south!" ”

Gao Yicheng said: "Great King, the Qing army is making every effort to encircle and suppress the righteous army, and there is no sign of using troops against our Great Wei, and the minister thinks that Dolgon instigated the Mongols to go south to plunder Guanzhong, and my Great Wei supports the righteous army in the area controlled by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in fact, it is a purpose, all to contain the other party. ”

Gao Yi was originally active in the area of Henan and Shandong, but the Qing army's encirclement and suppression efforts increased, and Xuanyiwei's activities were restricted, so he sneaked back to Guanzhong.

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, he didn't expect Dolgon to go with him, he sneered, "If only Mongolia goes south, then the Lone King is not afraid of him." ”

At this time, Li Guo stood up and hugged his fists and said: "King, if you put on a posture and fight in a dignified manner, the minister thinks that my Great Wei will definitely be able to defeat Mongolia." But the problem is that if the purpose of the Mongols is only to plunder, they may take advantage of the cavalry advantage, avoid the main force of our army, and choose a place to break through the wall. ”

Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, frowned, and said: "The Great Wall is thousands of miles, and there are at least ten passes that can accommodate a large number of people and horses to enter the Kou Pass, and it is indeed easy for the Mongols to avoid the real and attack the false and break through." “

Li Yan had a calm face, "King, Guanzhong has been cultivated for one year, and the people have just stabilized, if the Mongols are allowed to break through the pass, it will definitely be a disaster, and the results of the year will be ruined." This not only damages the dignity of my Great Wei, but also allows Dolgon to achieve his goal, and once Mongolia succeeds, he can come this year, and he will definitely come again next year. ”

Gao Yihuan heard this, and raised his eyebrows, if the Mongolian looting is successful, it is really possible, there is the situation that Li Yan said, and even not only Mobei Mongolia, but other tribes will also come to grab a wave, then Guanzhong will really be over.

This made Gao Yihuan's expression serious, but he didn't have any good way now, after all, the Wei army had few cavalry and limited mobility, once the Mongols entered the pass, as long as they did not take the initiative to fight a decisive battle with the Wei army, it would be difficult for the Wei army to catch them.

Gao Yihuan groaned for a while, and after half a sound, he suddenly asked: "There was originally a gap between Mobei Mongolia and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how did the Manchu Qing say that Mobei Mongolia went south?" ”

Li Yan's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "What does the king mean to talk to Mobei Mongolia?" ”

Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, "The Lone King has already surrendered the Guan Ning Army, but it will take some time to complete the adaptation." If the lone king digested the Guanning iron cavalry and controlled this horse army, he would not be afraid of the Mongols. Now that the lone king can bend and stretch, as long as he can delay for a while, he can indeed talk about it. ”

Chen Mingxia said: "If you want to talk, you must find out what conditions the Manchu Qing gave to Mobei. As long as we know their conditions, then we can deal with it. ”
