At the age of four, he was just an ignorant child, brought up by His Royal Highness, and only returned to Silla to inherit the throne when he became an adult. After more than ten years of separation, he naturally did not have much mother-son affection with his mother, Queen Silla, and he had been exposed to and learned Chinese culture since he was a child, but he was not worried that he would become the king of Yidi and forget the righteousness of China.

"Your Highness is really far-sighted, which really impresses the ministers!" The ministers had to admire and admire.

"His Royal Highness's desire to establish a puppet regime in Silla and make Kim Jong-ah the queen of Silla, and His Highness's acceptance of him as a widow, and the son born to him can inherit the throne of Silla is only the first step in controlling Silla. I wonder what other measures His Highness will take to match it in the future? ”

"Well...... this" Li Yu's habitual index finger tapped on the table, carefully considering the rationality and feasibility of the supporting measures he had thought of before, and did not immediately explain his thoughts to the ministers.

Xue Junnuo chuckled thoughtfully, as His Royal Highness's courtier, he has been a courtier for five or six years, and according to His Royal Highness's temperament, in addition to supporting Kim Jong-ah as the queen of Silla, the corresponding supporting measures must be divided and controlled by Silla, so that it cannot be united. In this way, even if Kim Jong-ah is opposed, he will be restrained by many forces in Silla, and he will inevitably have to obey His Highness's words, and other forces will not dare to resist.

His Royal Highness's policy of division and control is extremely obvious in Anton's military and political affairs.

Although it is clear that the civil officials are headed by Li Yuanyuan, it is actually Li Yuanyuan and himself, Sima, who share the civil and financial powers of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate. Because he understands military affairs, he also has the right to supervise the military, but he does not have the right to lead the troops and transfer troops, so to put it bluntly, he is just a staff member who consults and consults the military. The power of supervision was assigned to Xiao Shu, who served as the governor of Yanwangfu.

The Andong Protectorate plus the newly formed united army, the total strength of the army is as high as 100,000, divided into 3,000 people each, a total of 44 guards and armies, each general can only lead one guard and army in non-war time, and the navy is divided into three fleets, forming a situation in which no army is dominant and a certain general is weighted.

Among them, the elite cavalry was divided into the left and right guards of the Yanyun Iron Cavalry composed of the children of Yan Zhao according to the origin of the soldiers, the left and right guards of the Beihai Iron Cavalry composed of the children of the Three Qins, and then the Liangyi and Two Holy Army recruited by immigrants who moved from the Central Plains regardless of their origins.

The small and scattered establishment of the army and the mutual checks and balances make it possible for His Highness to calmly control the guards and the army, and it will be difficult for any general to set off a big storm if he has two hearts.

Then, in terms of the disposition of Silla, His Royal Highness will inevitably implement a separate control of its military and political affairs, so that it will form a number of mutual checks and balances.

……

"My original intention was to support Kim Jong-ah as Queen of Silla, reform the central administrative structure of Silla, and establish a two-phase system of three provinces and six ministries with reference to our country. He supported the Silla ministers who were obedient to the Tang Dynasty and had meritorious deeds, and served as the left and right ministers and the six ministers of the three provinces. Among the three provinces, the Zhongshu Province is responsible for discussing the drafting of bills and edicts, the Menxia Province is responsible for reviewing the content of the edicts and returning them to the Zhongshu Province as appropriate, and the Shangshu Province is responsible for implementation. I have contributed to the Tang Dynasty's Silla subordinate to serve as the left minister and Zhongmen Province Zhongshu Order, overseeing the affairs of Zhongshu Province; The right minister is also the Shangshu Provincial Shangshu Order, and is in charge of the affairs of Shangshu Province. ”

In this way, even if Kim Jong-ah is against her, her decree must go through three ministries and six ministries before it can be issued. And the three provinces and six ministries, the ministers who oversee the decision-making and implementation of the government are all the ministers of Silla who are elected by me to be pro-Mu Datang, and Kim Jong-ah will not be able to leave the Silla palace if he issues decrees that are not in the interests of the Tang Dynasty? ”

"Of course! This was only a reform of the central organization, and the administrative organs of the Silla region should also be changed to the state and county system with reference to the Tang Dynasty, and all of them were appointed by subordinate ministers. ”

"The Silla army is divided into armies with generals who have contributed to the Tang Dynasty, and the towns are divided into various parts of Silla, and the number of troops led by each general is also equal, and they check and balance each other, so that there will not be a military strongman."

"Your Highness's move to divide the government of the Silla dynasty into the hands of the Silla queen and the left and right ministers, and the military power to be divided into the hands of a few generals, is really a good strategy to divide and control and check and balance each other!" The ministers sincerely admired him, and he deserved to be praised by the two saints for his brilliant and heroic His Royal Highness King Yan.

"It's just ......" Xue Jun, who had been pondering Li Yu's thoughts, frowned and objected: "Relying only on the mutual checks and balances between the military and political system and Silla's subordinates and generals is effective in a short period of time, but after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be disagreements between them, and they will join forces to fight for power and profit to kill political opponents, and then promote their cronies or incompetent people to the positions of the opponents who have been killed, or through the bribery and co-optation of the subordinates of political opponents, so as to empty the opponent." Whatever method is used to arouse our suspicions, they can come up with a reasonable excuse to make it impossible for His Highness to do anything to them when there is no evidence. ”

"Your Highness, there is still a lack of supervision institutions to support the Silla puppet regime, and if the Silla queen and those vassals and generals are really making small moves behind their backs as Xue Sima expected, they are full of words. Then His Highness will be blind to what is happening in Silla, and he will not be able to determine who is doing the ghost, and it is very likely that he will lose control of Silla. Xiao Shu reminded worriedly.

"What the two Aiqing said is reasonable, but I can't think about it."

Li Yu was a little ashamed, Nuofei Xue Jun and Xiao Shu pointed out the shortcomings in the plan, maybe in a year or two, either the queen of Silla will deliberately arrange to balance her political opponents to kill all the opponents and control Silla, or the final winner will be determined among the generals who have been arranged, so as to become the powerful minister of Silla, control the military and political power of Silla, and the queen of Silla will be completely reduced to a puppet.

In either case, Li Yu no longer wants to milk Silla as a cow.

Li Yu, who thought about it carefully, said: "When the imperial court was dealing with Gaogoli, all the governors and prefectures that had contributed to the Tang Dynasty were all arranged to have Chinese officials as assistants for the long history, and the name of the counselor was actually surveillance. It may be advisable to set up a history of the governor of Jirim Prefecture in Silla, and select trustworthy Chinese officials to serve as the governors of Silla. ”

"Not enough."

Xiao Shu said again: "According to the minister, in addition to participating in the military administration of Silla, the history of the Governor of Jilin Prefecture set up by His Royal Highness must also have the right to supervise the military administration of Silla. The queen of Silla was imprisoned, and the ministers of Silla were all judged. ”

"Also, the status and power of the governor of Jilin Prefecture should only be under the queen of Silla, the first of the hundred officials. The formulation and issuance of the Silla Imperial Decree must be checked by the history of the rector and signed before it can be executed. Otherwise, the edict is illegal, and the relevant personnel will send someone to arrest and convict the principal. The movement of the Silla army, the distribution of ordnance and rations, and the approval of the principal's history and the signature of the rector must be kept on file and sent to the Andong Metropolitan Government for inspection. ”

"In order to prevent the history of the principal from being bribed and controlled by the Silla people, the term of office should be four years. In order to safeguard the authority of the Inspector General of History, His Highness should leave an army under his command. ”

After Xue Jun finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and moistened his dry throat, but Li Yu's eyes lit up when he heard it.

The words of the two Aiqing are not just to give Silla An a prince, or the kind of emperor who has the power and substance. According to this operation, won't Silla be controlled by his own trouble?

Is this cow still afraid that it won't be milked?
