Chapter 243: The nail planted by Jia Pingzhang

Although Jia Pingzhang's opponents are against him at every turn, both sides have constantly attacked each other's local officials in the name of corruption, desperately trying to weaken the other's strength...... But when it comes to reclaiming the military power of the local warlords, the attitude of the two sides is absolutely the same!

This is a question of the literati and the warriors, and it is a question of the state and the localities...... The two factions stand together to solve the problem of local warlords, and if they do not do anything else, I am afraid that there will be a danger that the tail will not be over, and the stability of the country will be endangered.

Li Tingzhi unfortunately became the first victim.

He honestly accepted Jia Pingzhang's hints, almost as if he had taken the initiative, handed over the military power to the imperial court, and at the same time obeyed the order of the upward adjustment, and became an idle high-ranking official in the Privy Council of Xinbianjing.

It is more prudent to split the Lu military group.

In the first step, the "Di Bao" announced the promotion of Li Tingzhi, and gave him a very high evaluation of his work.

In the second step, some members of the Lu military group who had originally served as local officials in the Xiangfan area were successively transferred to the newly earned prefectures and counties.

This was a normal move, and the Great Song Dynasty successively obtained land south of the Yellow River from the Tatar bandit group through the act of material purchases, and too many places needed local officials.

Therefore, under the pretext that a magistrate with work experience is needed, he can transfer personnel anywhere.

At the same time, the young Jinshi officials were inserted...... This is all a common sense placement method, and no one can say that it is not!

So far, at least, the LΓΌ military clique has been well-behaved and fully accepted instructions.

Of course, Jia Pingzhang was very satisfied with his methods...... He couldn't help but show off to his friend Liao Yingzhong.

Liao Yingzhong expressed her views with great interest.

He proposed that the army should not belong to the locality, and that what was not allowed during the war in the past should no longer be maintained.

The Northwest Extension is a separate matter...... It is better not to talk about it openly, although it is a place of irrelevance, so that the Tatar robbers do not get the truth.

As for the Lu family's property, Liao Yingzhong talked a lot about the inviolability of private property.

Jia Pingzhang smiled, he didn't have the idea of hitting the Lu family's industry at all.

Up and down in the entire Great Song Dynasty, there are almost no officials who do not have their own industry!

If you think like that, you will provoke the anger of the people.

Jia Pingzhang said softly: "Of course I have to pretend not to know about the affairs of the northwest...... However, I have warned them not to tell the truth and start the war!

The current good situation is not easy to come by......"

Jia Pingzhang sighed a little smugly.

Liao Yingzhong nodded in acknowledging that it was Jia Pingzhang who used many means to push the Liuqiu army to the front, and the Great Song Dynasty would have the current stability and development.

This is the time to rectify the many ills in the country.

When the two were chatting comfortably, someone suddenly came to report that Li Tingzhi, the governor of the Privy Council, wanted to meet him.

Jia Pingzhang was overjoyed, and he was a little worried that transferring him to New Bianjing would make him feel guilty...... Today's visit must be to express the intention of taking refuge.

Jia Pingzhang and Liao Yingzhong met with Li Tingzhi and his senator Lu Xiufu in the study.

The four of them drank Liuqiu-style tea and began a pleasant conversation.

Everyone was dressed in civilian clothes, so they were free from the constraints of official positions, and they had a good conversation.

When Li Tingzhi learned that Liao Yingzhong had also visited Liuqiu Island, he immediately came to his senses, and the two immediately began in-depth exchanges...... didn't even pay much attention to Jia Pingzhang.

Jia Pingzhang didn't care at all, as long as he had the intention of taking refuge, it was better than anything else...... He was originally a martial artist.

Li Tingzhi will be an important chess piece arranged by him in the Privy Council.

Since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, the Privy Council has been in charge of military affairs.

It stands to reason that the Privy Council should be more military than civilian, and later rose in the Jin State between Baishui and Black Mountain, and people learned from the official system of the Great Song Dynasty, and their Privy Councillors all used military personnel.

However, the Great Song Dynasty was reversed, and the prefects of the Privy Council were mainly literati and doctors, and the use of martial arts became a kind of flexibility, or a special situation in a special period.

Even in the normal situation of civil and military officials being in the same ranks, most of them occurred during the war years.

In peacetime, it clearly shows an extremely strong tendency to emphasize civility over military force.

The use of civil servants as vice-presidents of the Privy Council would gain the approval of the public opinion of the court officials, and if the military was appointed, the ministers would inevitably oppose it, and the incumbent would eventually be uneasy and forced to leave his post.

In fact, the tendency of the Privy Council of the Great Song Dynasty to make the deputy more civil service has already begun to emerge in the Later Zhou Dynasty.

The three prime ministers of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Fan Zhen, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu, all held the position of Privy Council.

After the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, although the three of them were quickly dismissed from part-time positions in the Privy Council, "emphasizing literature over military force" has gradually developed into a basic national policy of the Great Song Dynasty, which is obviously reflected in the composition of the Privy Council.

During the period of the Great Song Dynasty's southward movement, the imperial court was always shrouded in the shadow of war, and the country needed generals to take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the family and defending the country.

Xiaozong once sent an edict to Prime Minister Yu Yunwen and said: "I want the military minister to be the privy. ”

This indicates a demand of the times...... A change.

However, there is still a great Song or its inertia...... Originally, the prime minister and the Privy Council were in charge, and the decision-making teams of the two governments were gradually merged, and Jia Pingzhang was like a fish in water during that time...... But just a few days after settling down, Jia Pingzhang's opposition attacked him en masse and even dismantled the two mansions.

In the leadership of the Privy Council, it is still the civil servants who have the upper hand.

At this time, some changes took place, and the general military ministers were more supportive of Jia Pingzhang; The general Wenchen was unclear, and they were both at the end of the rat.

In addition, when the military ministers were privy envoys, they were often despised by their fellow civil servants in the second government.

Jia Pingzhang placed Li Tingzhi in the Privy Council, which was exactly what he needed, so that he could take the opportunity to completely accept Li Tingzhi into his own faction and make it a nail inserted in the Privy Council.

Because Li Tingzhi can be regarded as voluntarily giving up military power, he is a model of local warlords, and at the same time he has made contributions to local management, Jia Pingzhang's opposition has to pinch their noses to approve of this arrangement.

Some people in the "Minsheng" newspaper have already mentioned the professionalization of military and political affairs, and they have also pointed out that their so-called military department is extremely professional and efficient...... So far, no defeats...... In addition to the incomparably sophisticated weapons and well-trained soldiers, it may also be related to specialization and regularization.

Jia Pingzhang observed the controversy sparked by the article...... It's a pity that there is no argument!

The "People's Voice" newspaper has always been regarded as a non-governmental newspaper, and it is full of the words of the people...... How can those small people understand the major affairs of the imperial court?!

Well, Jia Pingzhang still has follow-up means to play.

At the moment, it would be a good thing if Li Tingzhi could be completely subdued.

He looked at the exchange between Li Tingzhi and Liao Yingzhong with a smile.
