Chapter 100: Battlefield Soldiers (5)

"Your Majesty, since the stop breaking the Yushu of the upper and lower parts of the house, the government soldiers have been abolished, and the people who guard the frontier are all Han family athletes and united domain soldiers. Today, there are eleven towns, commanding more than 400,000 soldiers and countless soldiers and horses of all ethnic groups. There is no shortage of high-ranking and powerful people in the middle of the marshal. However, only the military department is in charge of military affairs in the center of the court, although Chen Xiang is also the secretary of the military department, but the affairs of Zhujie Town are complicated, and it is difficult for Chen Xiang to do them one by one. As for the squire of the military department, the official rank is only under the four grades, and the authority is not enough to command the four square festival towns, and the strength is not enough to command the soldiers and horses of the world, resulting in the border towns in various places doing their own thing, not taking care of each other, and disputes are swarming. Therefore, Weichen dared to ask His Majesty to change the changes and reforms, and set up a government office under the Zhongshu Gate to assist His Majesty in ruling the world and towns. Gao Xianzhi got up and talked eloquently.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Gao Xiang is right." Yang Guozhong impatiently answered: "Since taking over as the right minister, I always feel empty and unmotivated, but I don't know why. Listening to Gao Xiangguo's words today, I know that the root cause lies in the fact that there are no government offices and officials under the political hall. According to Weichen's simple opinion, the Zhongshu Sect should not only increase the number of ministers in charge of military affairs, but also set up official offices and recruit capable officials according to the six departments, nine temples and five supervisors. In this way, the government hall can share the worries of His Majesty. ”

"Huh? When did Yang Guozhong become so far-sighted. Wang Fei was secretly surprised. Knowing the development of the ancient political system, he knew that due to the increasing concentration of imperial power, Chinese history repeatedly staged the drama of the expansion of the power of the internal court institutions to replace the outer court institutions, and then to be suppressed by the new internal court institutions.

The prime minister of the Qin and Han dynasties was actually a retainer of the princes during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period; Replacing the prime minister's Shangshu, this monk clothes and food belong to the same chamberlain; The origin of the cabinet of Xuanhe in the Ming Dynasty was actually the Hanlin bachelor who accompanied the edict; In the Qing Dynasty, the South Study and the Military Aircraft Department were in power successively, and they were always the routines of the Inner Dynasty replacing the Outer Dynasty. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the root cause of the increasing number of internal institutions and the growing power of the Zhongshu Sect between the inner and outer dynasties was still that the emperor chose to strengthen his power and choose to be close to the inside and far away.

The starting point of Wang Fei's overall plan is to follow the inevitable path of institutional change, and to make a difference under the guise of enriching the Chinese book. But he never expected that Yang Guozhong, who was short-sighted, would suddenly have such foresight.

Just as he was surprised, Wang Fei overheard Li Renzhi, who was kneeling opposite, cursing in a low voice: "The erector is hateful, he dares to plagiarize his grandfather's thoughts and concerns!" ”

"Sure enough, it's Giwin's ghost again." Wang Fei had an epiphany.

"Heng'er, Qi'er, what do you think?" Li Longji, who was noncommittal to Gao Xianzhi's proposal, intended to take the examination of the two princes.

"Father, the sons and daughters think that Yang Xiangguo and Gao Xiangguo are both old and seek the country, and it is imperative to divide the political affairs hall and set up a government." Li Heng pondered: "As Gao Xiangguo said, the top priority is to set up Cao to take charge of the army, but the ministers are stupid, and they don't know how to cut off the power of the government office and the six departments under the Zhongshu Gate?" I don't know who will be in charge of the army to serve the people? ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, the Ministry of War consists of the Department of War, the Department of Staff, the Department of Driving, and the Department of Treasury, which are in charge of the decrees selected by the military and military attachΓ©s of the world. However, at the beginning of the country, when the old system of the previous dynasty was set up in the army, there was no festival town in the world, and the conquest did not rely on the government soldiers. Today's military system has changed, and it is difficult for the military department alone to control the military towns of the four directions, so a certain concert asks to set up a government office under the Zhongshu Gate for His Majesty to consult the military strategy. All the use of troops in various festivals and towns requires the approval of this government before it can be reported to His Majesty for ruling; many

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) the town went out to fight and transferred troops across towns, and Cao also coordinated. Gao Xianzhi spoke out to explain his doubts: "As for who is in charge of this office, it should be judged by His Majesty." In a certain humble opinion, this government is an important task for the ruling army, and it is difficult for those who do not know military affairs to be competent. ”

"Xie Gaoxiang solves his doubts!" Li Heng, who gave his hand in thanks, glanced at Gao Lishi, An Lushan and Wang Fei with a gloomy gaze.

Li Heng, who had a darker face and even darker belly, guessed at once that this proposal was initiated by me and Gao Lishi, and also roughly figured out our offensive target. But this matter is beneficial and harmless to him, and with his heart, he should be pondering how to take advantage of the opportunity to seek greater benefits. Wang Fei was frank and open, and regarded Li Heng's suspicions as nothing.

"Playing the father, the high minister is beneficial to the country and the people, and the sons and ministers think so. It's just that I don't know what the name of the government office in charge of military affairs should be? Li Qi took advantage of Li Heng and Gao Xianzhi's question, and turned his head to glance at Li Renzhi a few times. Seeing that Li Renzhi was also frowning and thinking hard, he couldn't figure out the depth of it, and decided to be cautious in his words and deeds.

For most of the past six months, Li Qi, the king of Sheng, with the help of Li Renzhi and Luo Xizao, collected most of Li Linfu's remaining henchmen, and promised to use the dragon's gong to encircle the deputy envoy of Pinglu Jiedu and Shi Siming, who knew the future affairs, and with the help of Yang Guozhong, the right minister, he gradually cleared the decline of the manor being burned and the disaster relief was fruitless, and restored the momentum of competing with the East Palace.

In Li Qi's eyes, although Gao Xianzhi is not a descendant, he has followed Li Linfu for many years and has never taken refuge in the East Palace, and what he said will not be beneficial to the prince, so he plans to wait and see the changes first.

"Qi'er and I have thought of a piece!" Li Longji stroked his beard and laughed: "The soldiers are also treacherous, and they must be secret." What is the name of the 'Privy Council'? ”

"The military privy is very proper! Father, Emperor Shengming! Li Qi rushed ahead of the prince and cheered loudly.

"Father Emperor Shengming!" Li Heng's expression was grim.

"Your Majesty's talent is beyond the reach of micro-ministers." Yang Guozhong patted his ass.

"The cardinal, the center of the world; The secret is hidden and not revealed. With these two words alone, you can get a glimpse of His Majesty's ancient and modern writing! Chen Xilie quoted scriptures and praised them vigorously.

"I don't understand Wen Crepe's words, but listening to the name given by His Majesty, like hearing fairy music, I suddenly feel that my ears are much clearer." An Lushan didn't seem to know where to set up the Privy Council, and still gaged to please the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Gao Xianzhi, Zhang Jun, Ji Wen, Li Renzhi and Wang Fei saw that the sacred heart had been decided, and they congratulated in unison with their different moods.

"Fei Langjun stepped forward to draft an edict, and his intention has been decided, and he will set up a Privy Council under the Zhongshu Gate to rule the world and town. The Privy Council shall have one Privy Counsellor and two Privy Counsellors. The privy envoy entered the government hall, and the rank was the same as that of the ministers. The Privy Council and the Ministry of War have their own duties, and there is no distinction between the upper and lower levels. ”

Wang Fei, who had been prepared for a long time, walked the dragon and snake, and prepared the draft edict with a snap of his fingers and presented it to Gao Lishi. Li Renzhi, a scholar in the middle school, moved forward, took over the draft edict after Li Longji's examination, and issued the edict of the palace.

"The rest of the departments under the Zhongshu Sect will be discussed slowly after the political affairs hall has been discussed." Li Longji was very interested: "You Aiqing can first recommend the privy envoy candidate. ”

The palace is like a battlefield, and words hide killing opportunities.

The important officials of the court who participated in the court meeting cheered up, because they all knew that the fierce battle had just begun.

"Erchen thought that the king of Dongping County was brave and loyal, brave and good at fighting, and he was the first to be crowned king, and he would be able to command the world to be a privy envoy

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page). Li Heng glanced at Gao Lishi, Gao Xianzhi and Wang Fei with a complicated expression. He had only just guessed the reason for the establishment of the privy councillor. But he also immediately realized that An Lushan and Yang Guozhong had a bad relationship, and forcing An Lushan to enter the court would intensify the struggle between the two and buy time for himself to fight King Sheng, which could be described as beneficial and harmless. Therefore, knowing that he was quietly used by Wang Fei and others, Li Heng also had to choose to approve An Lushan as a privy envoy.

"If Anqing enters the court, who does Heng'er think Fanyang and Hedong should be in charge of?" Li Longji raised his hand to signal Yang Guozhong and An Lushan to be calm and not to be impatient, and asked lightly.

"Qi Qi father, the year before last during the winter solstice of the dynasty, the king of Dongping County resigned from the post of Pinglu Jiedu envoy, led by King Sheng Yao. Erchen thought that King Yong was not young, and he had made great achievements in patrolling Jing Yang and cleaning up Caoyun before, and he could lead a town from afar regardless of his talent and virtue. "Although Li Heng asked Yuan Zaiyan to ask King Yong to lead the North Court before, he did have a plan to use Li Ling to suppress King Sheng.

"King Yong?" Li Longji stroked his jaw and pondered. Colliers, who was standing on the side, frowned silently.

"Your Majesty, who will take over the two towns of Hedong and Fanyang, Weichen does not dare to put his beak. However, with the humble opinion of the ministers, on the merits of the war, on the prestige, the king of Dongping County is the best choice for the privy envoy. Gao Xianzhi struck while the iron was hot and bit An Lushan.

"The sons seconded the high-level views!" Li Qi, the king of Sheng, looked back and found that Li Renzhi had not yet returned from the palace, so he was afraid that he would miss the opportunity, so he took the opportunity to speak: "But the ministers dare not agree with the words of His Royal Highness the Prince. Although King Yong has a small meritorious career, his appearance is ugly, his nature is impetuous, and his virtue is not enough to lead the soldiers, and his authority is not enough to subdue Di Rong. Erchen thought that Shi Siming, the deputy envoy of Pinglu Jiedu and the future affairs of the people, started from the army and was familiar with the border situation, and it was the blessing of His Majesty and the blessing of Sheji to take over from Hedong or Fanyang. ”

"Is there any reason for a younger brother to criticize his brother's appearance?" Li Heng got up and reprimanded angrily: "Where does the way of filial piety exist? ”

"My father summoned us to the court to discuss the great affairs of the country. It is great filial piety to make false statements and seek good strategies, but according to the truth, what is the rebellion against human ethics? King Sheng argued with reason and did not give in.

Chen Xilie, who was an old monk, peeked at the two princes who were arguing and the silent saint, thoughtfully. And Li Renzhi, who had returned from the edict, stood in the corner of the main hall, staring coldly at Wang Fei for a moment, and then passed by King Sheng.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Sheng, Your Majesty has not yet decided who will be appointed as the privy envoy, why are you arguing?" The impatient Yang Guozhong interjected: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that Fan Yangjun shoulders the heavy responsibility of restraining the Khitan, Xi, Murowei and other departments, and cannot be separated from the king of Dongping County, and the position of privy envoy should be selected separately. ”

"Oh?" Li Longji said with a playful smile: "Apart from An Qing, who else is qualified for this position?" Yang Qing thought that Longyou Jiedu made Ge Shuhan? ”

"Ge Shuhan ......" Yang Guozhong was taken aback: "Your Majesty, Ge Shuhan's leg disease has recurred and he is recuperating in Shanzhou, how can he come to Beijing?" ”

"I heard that the wind in Longyou Mountain is bitter cold, since Ge Shuhan has a leg disease, why not go to Beijing to recuperate, and just serve as a privy envoy." An Lushan and Ge Shuhan have been at odds for many years, and they are naturally happy to fall into the well.

"Father, the king of Beiping County is seeing several expeditions to the west, outstanding military achievements, and has already had the heart to serve in the court, which is very suitable." Li Qi, the king of Sheng, relieved the siege for Yang Guozhong.

"Wang Zhengjian?" Li Longji stared at Gao Lishi and knocked on the couch silently.
