Chapter 568: Pros and cons

The king of Qi took the initiative to actively ask for the suppression of the northern frontier?

Yuwenshu's first reaction was to be surprised, very surprised, and even suspected that he had heard it wrong, but King Qi was standing in front of him, and he was speaking generously and vigorously, which was absolutely not wrong, King Qi did put forward his own request, and this request was to suppress the northern frontier.

However, the king of Qi had no intention of defending the northern frontier, and the king of Qi must have another purpose in making this unbelievable request.

This was the first judgment made by Yu Wenshu, and he was convinced of this judgment.

Who is the King of Qi, he knows it clearly, he has always been by the side of the Holy Lord since the unification of Middle Earth, and he has watched the King of Qi grow up, especially since the death of Prince Yuande, he has paid more attention to the King of Qi, after all, the King of Qi is the rightful heir to the imperial system, as long as the King of Qi himself does not have an accident, the owner of the East Palace must be the King of Qi, which is not only the need for political stability, but also the need for long-term peace and stability in Middle Earth, however, what makes him extremely disappointed is that the King of Qi not only had an "accident", but also a big "accident". The king of Qi adhered to the conservative political concept, which ran counter to the radical political concept of the holy lord and the reformers, so that the king of Qi not only cut off his own path to the prince, but also provoked the struggle for imperial unification, worsened the political situation, and directly endangered the great cause of national stability and unification.

Of course, the responsibility cannot be put on the king of Qi, and the outbreak of a new round of imperial controversy is, in the final analysis, from the core contradiction of reform and conservatism. Today's mutiny launched by Yang Xuangan also stems from this core contradiction. As long as this core contradiction exists, the political storm will be one after another, until the opponent falls, or both sides are wiped out, otherwise the storm will not stop.

The king of Qi had been "knocked down" by the storm, but the failure of the first eastern crusade gave the king of Qi a chance to make a comeback, and today's storm gave the king of Qi the opportunity to seize the imperial unification, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could the king of Qi give up? Since King Qi wants to enter the East Palace, how can he go north to the border? Now that the relationship between the north and the south has deteriorated, the border is full of smoke, the northern frontier is severe, and the border is not only responsible for heavy responsibility, but also worries about his life. The King of Qi has a special identity and great influence, especially after the outbreak of the "immorality" case, his advantage in the battle for imperial unification has been lost, and the political government is becoming more and more marginalized.

In this case, why did the King of Qi take the initiative to go north to the border?

Yuwenshu was the first to think of Yang Liang, the king of Han. At that time, the first emperor let Yang Liang, the king of Han, sit in the northern Xinjiang, and lead the military and political power of the fifty-three counties of Youyan and Hebei in the Jin Dynasty, worthy of the name of the "king of the north", and the strength was strong enough to compete with the central government. This lesson is too profound, which also shows the importance of the centralized system, and to speed up the pace of centralization, it is necessary to speed up the pace of reform, in the name of reform, to concentrate power and wealth in the central government to the greatest extent, in the hands of the emperor, so the "vigorous" centralized reform began, and the biggest "roadblock" hindering the centralization of power, that is, the state-level local administrative institutions and local marching governors were the first to be abolished, the central government directly under the jurisdiction of 190 counties, Weifu directly under the jurisdiction of more than 600 Yingyang Mansions, In this way, the efficiency of the implementation of the central government's policies has been greatly improved, the reform process has been greatly accelerated, and more importantly, the great cause of reunification has been strengthened, and there will no longer be "local princes" like Yang Liang, the king of the Han Dynasty, who directly threatens the stability of the country

Is the purpose of the King of Qi going north to the border to follow the example of Yang Liang, the king of Han, and be a "prince of one side"? This is obviously unrealistic, and now that the military and the government are separated, even in the border areas, the local administrative power is vested in the county guard, and the garrison military power is vested in the Yingyang Prefecture, and the power cannot be monopolized. Taking a step back, even if the Holy Lord confers the post of general of the Wei Mansion of the King of Qi and grants him the right to command in wartime, he will also be overturned by the generals with real power when he arrives at the border, because the commander of the Wei Mansion cannot directly command the Yingyang Mansion, and the emperor will appoint General Wu Yalang and Wu Benlang as the general to lead several Yingyang Mansion to fight. As long as the emperor controls the generals and the generals of the Yingyang Mansion, he basically controls the army. During the period of the first emperor, the supreme commander was under the marching general, and there were tens of thousands of troops under a marching commander, and the power of the commanders was very large, and the concentration of military power was restricted, and in the period of the Holy Lord, the supreme commander was under the generals, and there were at most four or five thousand people under a general, and there were even only one or two thousand people at the bottom, and the power of the generals was weakened by the strict, which was obviously conducive to the concentration of military power.

Of course, everything is flexible, a few years ago, the Holy Lord in order to pass through the western soil, specially set up the Honghua Left-behind Mansion in charge of the military power of the thirteen counties of Longyou, although the Left-behind Mansion is a temporary institution, but as long as it exists, the supreme governor of the Left-behind Mansion will hold heavy power. In recent years, because of the Eastern Crusade, the strength of some special places needs to be strengthened, so more and more left-behind mansions have been built, such as Dongdu Stay, Xijing Stay, Jiangdu Stay, Zhuojun Stay, Pengcheng Stay, Donglai Stay, etc., although it is stipulated that they are all temporary institutions, and they will be withdrawn after the fact, and different left-behind mansions, because of the different specific responsibilities, the power is also large, but as long as it is not revoked, the supreme governor of the left-behind government is still in power.

According to this trend, when the relationship between the north and the south deteriorated, and the entire Great Wall defense line was attacked by the northern captives, it was definitely overstretched to rely on the Honghua Left-behind Mansion and the Zhuojun Left-behind Mansion to block the Northern Prisoners, and it was inevitable that another left-behind mansion would be built in the Daijin region, and it was also the largest left-behind mansion, because the desert Beifu basically chose to attack from the Yinshan line to the south, and Daibei has been the frontal battlefield of the North-South War since ancient times, so the army on the frontal battlefield is naturally the most, and the supreme commander of the army is naturally the most powerful.

Once the Great War broke out and Daibei became the main battlefield, King Qi could become the supreme governor of the newly built Left-behind Mansion and the supreme commander of the Northern Xinjiang Garrison Army, and then as long as he held the defense line of the Great Wall, he would be able to build a lot of military exploits, and from then on he would be famous, and even leave his name in the annals of history, and more importantly, he could take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to increase his strength to an immeasurable height. The greater the strength, the closer he is to the imperial system, and using the war to enhance his own strength and seize the imperial system with the strength is the "avenue" to win the world. Winning with the "Great Road", defeating, having a clear conscience, winning, even if it is an opponent, it is convincing.

Yu Wenshu was full of admiration, he did not admire the courage of King Qi, but admired the "master" who gave advice to King Qi.

This plan is upright and impeccable, and even the bigwigs in the Holy Lord and the central decision-making level can't find a reason to oppose it.

The king of Qi wants to go north to the border, to fight against the northern captives, to be loyal to the monarch and defend the country, to sacrifice his life for righteousness, to shroud the body of horse leather, so righteous and faithful, wise and brave, how can the holy lord and the center oppose it? What are the grounds for objecting? Any reason for the opposition of the Holy Lord and the Central Authority will make the image of King Qi more "tall", make his image more "obscene", make the political situation more turbulent, and make the shape more bad; On the contrary, if the Holy Lord and the Central Committee resolutely support the King of Qi to defend the border, they can obtain a series of political benefits, and even have unexpected joys, such as the Holy Lord can greatly increase his authority, and at the critical juncture, he will not hesitate to sacrifice the life of his own son to protect the family and defend the country, and he will definitely be able to win the hearts and minds of the people, and the people's hearts are too important, in the face of the general trend, even the opponent has to temporarily avoid the edge, so that the Holy Lord can save the central authority to the greatest extent, stabilize the political situation, and concentrate on dealing with domestic and foreign crises. It is even possible to delay the outbreak of the Civil War, and this delay is very important to the Holy Lord and the reformers, it can be said that it determines the life and death of the rulers, the success or failure of the reform, and the fate of the country.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages, and the disadvantages are facts, and the king of Qi may deliberately intensify the contradictions between the north and the south and accelerate the outbreak of the civil war in order to make meritorious contributions, which is terrible, and what is even more terrible is that this great war between the north and the south, whether the king of Qi wins, draws, or loses, will bring different dangers to Middle-earth

If the battle is won or drawn, the king of Qi is all meritorious and prominent, is the position of the prince given to him? If he is not given to him, will the King of Qi launch a mutiny like Yang Liang, the king of Han? Taking a step back, even if the King of Qi did not launch a mutiny, he would not return to Beijing and would not seek his own death, he was bound to dominate according to the northern Xinjiang and openly contend with the central government. This hidden danger is big, and it is foreseeable that sooner or later, their father and son will turn against each other, and they will all fight each other and fight.

Losing the war is a disaster in Middle-earth, although the king of Qi is "defeated", or even "wiped out", and the holy lord and the center will also be affected, following the defeat of the two Eastern Crusades, once again suffered a double blow of political and military, the consequences are so severe that it is really unpredictable.

In this way, it is difficult to weigh the pros and cons, whether it is the "benefit" to support the king of Qi to go north to the border, or the most advantageous to use this storm to completely destroy the king of Qi in the shortest possible time?

Yu Wenshu racked his brains and exhausted his mental strength, repeatedly analyzed and deduced, trying to weigh the pros and cons, and gave King Qi a clear answer. He didn't have time to delay, the battle situation in the eastern capital was very bad, Wei Wensheng was defeated, Yang Xuangan was killing Ben Guan, he couldn't afford it at all, he had to give King Qi a promise immediately, otherwise he would anger King Qi, the two sides tore their faces, and watched Yang Xuangan kill into the pass, the problem was strict, and at that time it was not King Qi who was in danger, but Guozuo.
