Chapter 287: Ancestors Have Profound Meanings
The hairy awl can't fight, this is the favorite saying of the military leaders in the five generations. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoBut there is a second half of this sentence, "Although there are spears and swords, if there is no 'hairy awl', where will the wealth of the army be gathered?" Zhao Zhen almost said this, but when he came to his mouth, he forcibly held back. The second half of the sentence seems to be a rebuttal to the uselessness of the literati, but in fact, they look down on the literati as much, believing that using them is just to collect wealth and compete with the martial arts, which is efficient and civilized. Although the current government, which is dressed as a civil rule, also uses civilian officials to collect money and food to raise the army, this cannot be said, especially from the mouth of the emperor.
Seeing that Zhao Zhen pretended to be stupid, but he didn't let go of the affairs of the Yongzhou army, Guo Chengyou said again: "The Yongzhou army broke the Jiaozhi and recruited thousands of people to enter Beijing to be the forbidden army to get money and food, which is the grace of the official family. Although they were rude to us people, the official family had to put up with them. But he also connived at Xu Ping, a third envoy, a money, grain, knife and pen officer, to get a new military system, what can be said? The ancestral legal system, setting an example for the world, how can it be changed arbitrarily? β
When these words came out, Zhao Zhenniren also came up with three points of anger, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Ping is a minister of waiting, and his merit is in the imperial court, how can you let you talk nonsense!" Licentious! I remember that you have been in the army since childhood, you don't know etiquette, and I don't blame you, retreat! β
Guo Chengyou rolled his eyes, and saw that Zhao Zhen was really angry, and he didn't force it, so he silently stepped aside.
Ge Huaimin crossed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, although Commander Guo said vulgar words, the reason is good. The three divisions of the yamen are in charge of the world's money and grain, and it has nothing to do with military affairs, so it really makes no sense for Xu to discuss what military system to change. β
Zhao Zhen calmed down for a moment before he said: "The three divisions are like the privy council, Xuanhui, and Hanlin, and they originate from the inner court, which is different from the yamen of the outer court. When Xu Ping was in Yongzhou, he led troops to rule the barbarian rebellion, and broke Jiaozhi, so that he was involved in military affairs with his strengths. β
Ge Huaimin was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Ren Fu beside him, not knowing how to answer.
The official system of the imperial court, these people can't explain it clearly, and they can't understand it. Not to mention them, the official system of this era, some of the yamen in charge of officials can't figure it out. The three envoys, like the Privy Council and the Xuanhui Yuan, all began in the late Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Five Dynasties. After entering the Song Dynasty, these internal yamen slowly transformed into the outer court, and the three divisions completely became subordinate institutions under the Zhongshu Gate, most of the power of the Privy Council was returned to the Zhongshu Gate, and the Xuanhui Yuan was only left with the power and responsibility of managing the miscellaneous affairs of the Inner Dynasty. Zhao Zhen used the historical origin as an excuse, and the officials of the Inner Dynasty were justified in doing whatever they were ordered by the emperor, and these generals didn't know how to theorize.
Seeing that Ge Huaimin and Ren Fu, the two generals in charge of the army, had nothing to say, Guo Chengyou was so anxious that he couldn't help it, and stood up again and said: "The official family asked Xu Ping to prepare for the military, and he came out of Chenduan, so naturally I can't say anything as a courtier." But Xu Ping ignored the military system of the imperial court and changed the law at will, how can this be done! He messed around in the Xuanwei army, causing panic among the forbidden soldiers. β
Zhao Zhen said unhappily: "The Xuanwei army is invincible, relying on this military system, where did so much gossip come from!" Besides, they only set up assistants in the army, which has existed since ancient times, and does not count as changing the law of the ancestors. β
"How not? The ancestors relied on the forbidden army to sweep the world, and never heard of any wingmen. According to the last general, Xu Ping just used the appointment of bureaucrats as an excuse, but he was just luring scholars into the forbidden army. The three commanders in the Xuanwei Army, Sang Yi was originally a Jinshi, and Zhang Kang and Jingtai were both Jinshi, and they all used awls to lead the army! β
Zhao Zhen frowned and said: "The ancients often said that the generals of poetry and books have the style of a king when they send troops. I also often ask you to read more poetry and books in your spare time, to know loyalty and righteousness, and to know honesty and shame, but you just don't listen. The three of Sang Yi are all Xiaobing books, military experts, and they are about to use them. β
Guo Chengyou lowered his head and squeezed out tears in an instant: "Official, since we were children in the army, we learned to bend bows and shoot arrows, dance knives and guns, and fight in battle formations. How can a hand that is accustomed to holding a knife and a gun get a hairy awl? When I thought that when the official family was young, I was always careful, for fear that the official family would make a mistake, where would I have time to read any poetry books? Now that the official family has become a monk, he only likes to listen to the literati lecture and read the Bible, and he no longer looks down on me and other martial artistsββ"
Zhao Zhen is a person who values feelings and misses the old, as soon as he talks about these old things, his emotions are brought up, and he said to Guo Chengyou: "You are good in the army, Juelu money and silk are naturally less for you, but if you make some small contributions, I will not hesitate to reward, why fight for these idleness?" Now that the country is looking at Chengping, it is actually full of dangers, and the affairs of the Xuanwei Army should not be taken care of anymore. β
Guo Chengyou shed tears while using his brain, thinking about how to turn the situation back. Seeing that Zhao Zhen was emotional, he suddenly blessed his heart, thought about it, and said to Zhao Zhen: "Speaking of the military wings, in fact, this dynasty is not nothing. The art ancestor Zhou Shouzen, the day of the revolution, the city is not easy to wanton, the past dynasties have never heard of. At that time, the world was in turmoil, and it was all up to King Zhao Han to plan one by one. King Han was originally the secretary of the Yizu army, and after the founding of the country, the Empress Dowager Zhaoxian read the merits of King Han and never called him by his name, but only called 'Secretary Zhao'. However, since the establishment of the imperial court, there is no longer a wing in the forbidden army, and the ancestors must have a deep meaning when they do this! β
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen's face changed slightly. What is the emperor most afraid of? Other dynasties didn't know, and what the Song Dynasty was most afraid of was the support of the army. Taizu Zhao Kuangyin replaced Zhou, and Taizong's succession to the throne was not clear, which made him suspicious and suspicious.
The five generations of warlords had bureaucratic officials, which originally evolved from the late Tang Dynasty feudal town system, and it has a long history. In fact, the warlords at that time had their own set of political teams, and they could not govern without bureaucrats. Zhao Pu was originally the secretary in charge of Zhao Kuangyin's army, and the key figure in Chen Qiao's mutiny and yellow robe. The Song Dynasty was able to smoothly replace the Zhou, and even Kaifeng City did everything as usual, that is, it was called one of the Shengde by later generations, "on the day of the revolution, the city is not easy to wanton", and these bureaucrats and officials made great contributions. And later, he was able to calmly replace the officials of the latter week one by one, and he also relied on this assistant official as a backup.
Zhao Pu was the prime minister three times in the Taizu and Taizong dynasties and was highly trusted. Empress Dowager Du never called him by his name, nor did she call him the official title after entering the Song Dynasty, she always called him "Secretary Zhao", and told him that her two sons were not sensible and asked him to assist him well. Such a title shows Zhao Pu's extraordinary relationship with the royal family.
The ancestors must have a deep meaning, and this is the death hole that hit Zhao Zhen.
As an emperor, there is no failure to prevent his subordinates from seizing power, but the tradition handed down from the time of Song Taizu is that this kind of prevention depends on the system, not against a certain person. Zhao Kuangyin did this, firstly, because he was generous, and he couldn't lift a butcher's knife to the old brother who had fought with him, and secondly, I am afraid that it was also related to Zhou Shizong Chai Rong. Before Chai Rong died, he was also afraid of his subordinates abolition, and even suspicious, and all those under his command who had the appearance of the so-called emperor were killed or imprisoned. When he found the wooden sign of "check to be the Son of Heaven", he immediately dismissed Zhang Yongde, the former inspector of the palace, and appointed a more trustworthy Zhao Kuangyin. But people are not as good as heaven, and the people who came up in front of the palace all checked the yellow robe and became the son of heaven.
Why was the army's wingmen abolished after entering the Song Dynasty? In fact, it was because of the cutting of the feudal town, and the wingman was in the feudal town, and the current state-level shogunate official was a remnant of that time. This is the reason why the official title at the state level seems nondescript. But Guo Chengyou led the meaning to prevent the generals in the army from learning from Song Taizu to seize the world, and the meaning changed completely.
Zhao Zhen can not care about the rest, but Taizu Taizong left a system to prevent the army from making chaos, so it will definitely not be moved. No matter what Xu Ping said, no matter how reasonable it is, the restructuring of the Yongzhou Army will end here.
