Chapter 261: The Conspiracy of the Western Expedition
The nobles did not have the ability to overthrow the Golden Family and become the king of the steppe, but that did not mean that they did not have the desire.
Especially in the face of the temptation of that golden chair.
From the central center to the locality, the officials of the province, Lufu and County are absolutely first-class chairs, which will definitely be more comfortable and more magnificent than their own, so no matter what means are used, whether it is to benefit the political achievements of one party, or to loot the people's ointment and buy officials, they all die to drill into the chairs above.
This is especially true at the bottom, and especially at the top.
If you open the history books, you will find that every page of text has a bloody Qi that was blown up in order to compete for the dragon chair.
If you really conquer the three khanates, you will have three more khanates...
Such a temptation will definitely not be less attractive than a black hole, even if it will be filled with bones and a sea of blood.
But... The Western Expedition is a feat that even Genghis Khan has not completed, and what does the little monk rely on to make the nobles so trusted?
Is it still a seductive demonic method?
He smiled endlessly: "My lord doesn't have to be suspicious, although the matter of the Western Expedition is not easy, it is not as difficult as imagined." ”
Yan Zhedu asked curiously, "I would like to hear about it." ”
He said: "The difficulty of the western expedition lies in the fact that the labor division is on an expedition, and the money, food, and military strength required are huge, and it is not feasible without the strength of the country, so the treasury needs to be full and the people are responsible for it, so that we can have this wealth, and this is one of them." Even if it was a complete victory, and the kings were divided to defend the results of the war, it was inevitable that the kings would have different hearts over time, and eventually the khanate became independent, the imperial power existed in name only, and the results of the western conquest were difficult to preserve. During the expedition, the country was empty, and if the situation was unstable, it would inevitably give the snoopers an opportunity. If these three points cannot be resolved, the western expedition will definitely not succeed. I don't know if what the little monk said is right or not. ”
Yan Zhe said with a smile: "What the master said is very true, but I don't know, does the master have a way to deal with it?" ”
He said: "First, it is to secure the people and govern the officials, as if the country is rich and the people are strong and stable in the rear." Second, do not use the imperial army to avoid the emptiness of domestic troops. Third, the position of the three khans is held by the eight nobles in turn, and the military and political departments under their rule are separated from each other, supervising and cooperating with each other, and the military and political officials regularly change guards. ”
Yan Zhedu nodded: "If this is the case, maybe you can give it a try, but the details still need to be worked out." ”
He said: "When the time comes, it will depend on the adults to customize the specific system and strategy." ”
He was polite for a moment, and then asked: "The master said that he doesn't need the army of the empire, but he doesn't know where the army of the Western Expedition comes from?" ”
He said: "In the territory, there are many bandits, and if you can make all of them peaceful, isn't it always a powerful force?" ”
Yan Zhe said: "How can bandits be of great use if they don't obey the royal way and don't understand military affairs?" ”
He said: "These people don't obey the royal way and don't understand military affairs, but when did the army of our court wipe them out?" ”
He was thoughtful.
He continued: "These people are all making a living licking blood on the tip of a knife, and they can still survive under the government's clearance, and their survival can be seen, and what these people are best at is to take root and buy people's hearts!" ”
He nodded in agreement. These bandits and bandits, no matter where they go, can adapt to life in the fastest way, expand the team, and make a living, and they are indeed as tenacious as weeds.
He continued: "These people, with a little restraint, are a force to be reckoned with! When the time comes, give them a legal identity to go to the Western Regions to do evil, what do you think will be the result? ”
When he kept saying this, his expression was so obscene that Lord Yan Zhedu, who was nurtured by benevolence, righteousness and morality, looked embarrassed.
Yan Zhe stroked his beard: "This... This, the way of the art of war, with righteousness and victory! The master's plan, indeed, is a conspiracy, just... Bandits as an army... Isn't it a loss of face for the court..."
He rolled his eyes endlessly: "My lord, we are all understanding people, so don't fix those vain things." Do you think that the army of the imperial court today is stronger than the bandits? ”
Yan Zhe is embarrassed, although this is not good, it is indeed true, the army of the imperial court is indeed corrupt, and its combat power is not as good as before, otherwise, this bandit will not be more and more suppressed.
He kept saying: "I have already ordered someone to handle the matter of the bandits and robbers in Zhao'an." Adults can rest assured. Invite adults to come today, just to express the willingness to form an alliance, if the adults have doubts, you can wait and see, if what the little monk said has come true, it will not be too late to form an alliance. ”
Yan Zhedu: "Can the master really solve these problems internally?" ”
He said, "The monks don't speak. ”
Yan Zhe said: "This matter should be done slowly, and the master must not be in a hurry!" ”
He kept saying: "In troubled times, if you don't use some fierce medicine, you can't solve the problem at all!" ”
Yan Zhe said: "Beware of using too much force, the extremes of things will be reversed!" ”
He smiled heartily: "Then the adults will see if the little monk can rejuvenate himself!" ”
Seeing his swearing, he couldn't help but believe three copies.
If this is the case, the measures taken by the magistrates can be implemented in the overall situation.
However, now he represents not only himself, but also the people in his circle of influence, although these people look up to him.
But because of this, Yan Zhedu can't express his position easily.
He admired Yan Zhedu's steadiness, he knew that such an old and respectful person was a real reliable ally, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, just wait and see." ”
As he spoke, he pushed a delicate gold waist card in front of Yan Zhedu, and said: "This waist card, please put it away, if you figure it out, you can come to Jinghua Shuiyue to find me." ”
When he was hesitating, he only felt that the light in front of him flickered, and when the candle lit up again, he had already returned to his study.
Yan Zhedu rubbed his eyes and looked at the "Book of Han" on the table.
"Murphy just didn't come up with a dream?"
But as soon as he lowered his head, he saw the shining waist card on the table, and after rubbing it in his hand for a while, he only said: "Whew!"
Bo Yan was only held in prison for two nights.
Without any trial, he was directly escorted to the Chai Shikou execution ground and cut off his head with a knife.
It stands to reason that Bo Yan is a Mongolian and a nobleman, and his case should be handed over to the Dazong Zhengfu for trial, not to mention that he committed a major crime of rebellion, and the Criminal Department should also pass a court.
This way of directly bypassing the judiciary is simply a provocation to the law, and it touches the interests of the princes and nobles who control the representatives of the main government.
This is not counting the Imperial Historical Observatory that is eyeing from the sidelines!
Even Kublai Khan did not dare to make such a will lightly!
However, Emperor Yuan Shun did just that, so fierce that all the officials gasped.
What is this puppet emperor going to do?
If you don't make a hit, it's a blockbuster?
Or are you carried away by the joy of victory?
Actually defended the world's condemnation and openly confronted the laws of the imperial court?
The officials of the Manchu Dynasty were not afraid of this Great Khan, and this behavior of him had reached the point of gnashing their teeth!
Zhao Lian was overjoyed, he felt that this was the time when he showed his strength in the court, so he said to his subordinates: Advice!
He contacted Yan Zhedu at the same time, and the reply he got was only the word "I know", which made Zhao Lian unhappy.
As a result, the excerpts of the small gang of the Ministry of Rites were handed over for half a month, like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no movement at all.
Just when Zhao Lian was about to launch the second round of offensive, the Criminal Department, the Xuanzheng Yuan, the Dazong Zhengfu, and the Yushitai all stood up to wave the flag and shout for the Great Khan.
Unanimous approval of the Great Khan's "good killing, good killing!" ”
He was praised as "the first warrior after Genghis Khan!" ”
At this moment, Zhao Lian was dumbfounded, and the Ministry of Rites power group was also dumbfounded.
