Chapter 38: The Former Division

If people are unlucky, they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water, and this sentence is used to describe Yu Tianxi at this moment.

Last night, because of Yu Ci's matter, Zhao Yun was already dissatisfied with Yu Tianxi's father and son, just because Jia Rudao sold a big favor to him, and did not press the father and son to death in the pit, but pulled Yu Tianxi and his son, who had fallen into the pit, so last night's Qionglin banquet was helped by nobles, and there was no danger in the past. But Yu Tianxi never thought that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and today on the street of Lin'an City, there was an assassination of Meng Heng in broad daylight, and it was dozens of strongmen with sharp blades, and they almost succeeded.

Knowing Lin'an Mansion for more than five years, Yu Tianxi can be said to be the official who has managed Lin'an Mansion for the longest time in the past few decades. I thought that I would arrange the rest of the Jinshi and next year I will go to the table to tell the old.

What is the most in the imperial capital? Dignitaries, royal relatives, etc., are afraid that they will be smashed by a random brick, and they are afraid that people from wealthy families will also have something to do with the dignitaries. Knowing Lin'an Mansion, the position is not high, and the power is not heavy, and it is simply a thankless job.

Yu Tianxi was able to sit smoothly in the position of Zhilin'an Mansion for so long, in addition to his long-sleeved and good dancing, more importantly, because he was inseparable from Zhao Yun's incense and the strong support of the Shi family.

But at this juncture, there were a series of accidents, and Yu Tianxi knew in his heart when he heard Zhao Yun's cold words that if he couldn't give an explanation of Meng Hui's assassination, he was afraid that even telling the old man would be a luxury.

It is extremely rare for the emperor to directly address Lin'an Mansion instead of Yu Qing. To know Lu Dao, Yu Tianxi knew that Lin'an Mansion was only a part-time job, but his main job was the head of the household department.

The official ranks of Zhilin'an Mansion and Hubu Shilang are the same, from the second grade, but the difference between the two is also very different.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is incompetent, and he has not received any news from the assassins." Yu Tianxi prostrate on the ground and answered honestly.

"This is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, not a barren mountain range. I am a major general in the Great Song Army in Lin'an City and was still assassinated by dozens of gangsters on the royal street, you have done a good job in Lin'an Mansion, very good! You're not just incompetent, you're just a piece of waste. ”

When Zhao Yun heard Yu Tianxi's words, the nameless fire that had been forcibly suppressed in his heart suddenly rose a few feet, and he asked angrily.

"The front division of the palace, is there any news of bad people?" Zhao Yun paused, as if to calm the anger in his heart, and looked at the military general who was crawling beside Yu Tianxi and asked coldly.

"Back to Your Majesty, the front division of the palace has sent out all the three forbidden troops under the jurisdiction of the front division of the palace in accordance with the will of His Majesty, the gate of Lin'an City is closed, and all the main roads are personally led by the military commanders to investigate, as long as the villains are still in Lin'an City, it will be difficult to fly."

Zhao Qi quietly wiped the cold sweat on his head and hurriedly responded.

After Emperor Taizu ascended the throne as emperor, in order to prevent future generations from following his example of the Chenqiao Mutiny, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, set the measures that all the army establishment, mobilization and command power of the Great Song Dynasty were directly controlled by the emperor. In order to better control the military power and maintain the throne, the military power was divided into three parts, and the Privy Council was in charge of the military registration and tiger charm; The three yamen govern the armies; Lead the army to lead the army.

Among them, the Privy Council is the highest military organ of the central government except for the emperor, which is in charge of military affairs, military orders, and strategic decision-making, which is actually similar to the Ministry of Defense in later generations.

The Privy Council has two positions: the Privy Counsellor and the Privy Vice-Counsellor, or the Privy Councillor and the Privy Councillor. The Great Song Dynasty admired literature and suppressed the military, so the important position of the Minister of Defense was generally held by civilian officials, and the status was second only to the prime minister, but the prime minister and the prime minister respectively grasped the authority of civil and military.

Sanya, refers to the front of the palace to command the envoy (palace front division), the guard pro-army horse army to command the envoy (guard horse army division) and the guard pro-army infantry army to command the envoy (guard infantry division), for the Song Dynasty of the central military command organ. Each of the three yas set up military general positions such as the commander of the capital, the deputy commander of the capital, and the commander of the capital Yuhou, respectively, commanding the forbidden army and the box army throughout the country of the Great Song Dynasty, and the status of the commander of the three yas was lower than that of the privy envoy of the Privy Council.

The commander (commander) is the commander of the army who is temporarily appointed when the forbidden army goes out to fight or encounters a war, and the official name is the capital deployment (later renamed the capital governor), the governor, the capital supervisor, etc., and leads the local forbidden army belonging to the three ya, and the minister is dismissed after the war. After the Great Song Dynasty crossed to the south, it set up the posts of pacification envoy, economic envoy, and pacification envoy in each sub-road or prefecture and government as the leading ministers, and was also in charge of the internal affairs of the military and civilians in larger areas.

The Privy Council, the three ya, and the ministers were divided into powers, and the upper and lower levels restrained each other, but they all had to obey the emperor's orders, so that all the military power was concentrated in the hands of the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

In addition, there is also a military department, which is mainly in charge of military affairs such as honor guards, martial arts, weapons, horse administration, maps, etc., and is also in charge of the official titles and inheritance of the Xiang army, the township soldiers, the Turkish army, the Qiang soldiers, and the leaders of the border ethnic minorities.

When the military system was first conceived, it was thought that it was the best and the most perfect. With the passage of time, there are more and more drawbacks. Especially now, in front of the Sanya Palace, the guards and the pro-army Ma Jun are all commanding the envoys, and the guards are all commanding the envoys, and the guards are all commanding the forbidden army under the command of the envoys, which should be the most elite troops in the Great Song Dynasty, but they no longer have the scenery of the past.

Especially after the outbreak of the Song-Jin War and the Song-Mongolian War, the forbidden army went to the battlefield and faced the Mongol army was often defeated, but the soldiers recruited and trained by the box army or local generals in various theaters were much more brave and good at fighting than these forbidden troops who were known as the most elite in the Great Song Dynasty.

For example, the previous Yuejia Army, the Loyal and Righteous Army and the Xinyang Army under the command of Meng Heng, etc., are much stronger than the combat power of the Twelfth Route Forbidden Army stationed in Lin'an and Jiankang (Nanjing).

Zhao Qi is the commander in charge of the defense of Lin'an City, the capital commander of the embassy in front of the palace, Meng Heng was assassinated, in fact, the responsibility of Lin'an Mansion is much smaller than the responsibility of the palace commander in front of the palace, after all, the city defense of Lin'an City, the city inspection, the canal inspection in and out of Lin'an City, the patrol canal army, etc. are all responsible for the forbidden army commanded by the commander of the embassy in front of the palace.

Dozens of assassins said that it was not much, and it was not too much, but just those weapons, the envoys in front of the palace had an unshirkable responsibility.

The reason why Zhao Qi is much calmer than Yu Tianxi is because he is a member of the royal family, and he is a royal family with much more blood than the country boy Zhao Yun.
