In the middle of the month, Li Duoshou and Zhang Guangxian hurried all the way back to Beijing, and finally braved the wind and snow to enter Tokyo City that afternoon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBoth of them are staff members of the marshals stationed abroad, and they generally can't delay returning to Beijing to make up for it, and they must first go to the Privy Council to submit the seal.

Zhang Guangxian is very young, only 20 years old, it is the first time to enter the imperial city, enter from the right door, and follow Li Duoshou to look around. Li Duoshou has returned to Beijing many times to run errands on behalf of Zhang Yue, but he is familiar with the way.

"The Privy Council is also known as the West Mansion, a little west of the Yuehua Gate, and the festival marshal is handed over to the chapter, and there is no need to hand it to Zhongshu Province." In front of him, a forbidden army commander guarding the door led the way, and the two followed behind, Li Duoshou pointed with a smile.

"Then the power of the Privy Council is great, isn't it all the local marshals who govern the state and county! Isn't the Sixth Department a fictitious ......" Zhang Guangxian is not clear about the high-level power structure in the capital, but he is very smart and can draw inferences, and Li Duoshou will understand it as soon as he says it.

In fact, since the rise of the Tang Dynasty, the authority of the Privy Council has been increasing day by day, and the Zhongshu Province has gradually picked up the gaps in order to prepare for the emperor's consultation. But since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has been different, since the time of the first emperor Guo Wei, he has deliberately suppressed the Privy Council and strengthened the Zhongshu Province, but the practice has not changed, and the marshals have gone directly to the Privy Council to do things.

"It's not completely imaginary, the state and county thorn history can also make up the six ministries to govern the affairs, the left and right servants of the Shangshu are directly led by the six departments, but they are also the ministry of the Zhongshu Province, and the Zhongshu Xianggong is also the ministry of the Privy Council, but the privy ministers are not necessarily the ministries of the Zhongshu Province and the Menxia Province, if you add the service of the Zhongshu or Tongping Zhangshi."

Li Duoshou is very clear, this mess of various concurrents, ordinary people really can't figure it out. This is mainly different from person to person, so this era is the rule of man with inefficiency, not the rule of law, and the so-called system, that is, a general rule, is set up there, but not everyone abides by it.

"That means that civil ministers are also military officials, but it seems that the privy ministers are also civilian officials, right? Why don't you get the affairs of the province? What kind of privy secrets, Zhongshu, Shangshu and subordinates are divided into subordinates, anyway, they are not all court ministers. Zhang Guangxian said incomprehensibly.

"Ahem...... If only it were that simple. Li Duoshou rolled his eyes, the system since the end of the Tang Dynasty has indeed been in chaos, but this involves all kinds of separation of powers and checks and balances, some delicate and subtle things, Li Duoshou himself still knows nothing, and there is no way to talk about it.

Soon arrived at the Privy Council, and the guards here were Shangshu Zuocheng and Privy Counsellor Bian Guiyan, but the two were staff members, and their rank was too low, so they could not be received in person, and a privy councillor received the seal on their behalf and asked them if they wanted to arrange a place to live, which was to send them back.

There will be all kinds of inconveniences in living in the post house, Li Duoshou directly refused, took Zhang Guangxian out of the forbidden middle school, and planned to go to the lord's mansion to deliver the family letter, and by the way, he stayed there, and it would be fine for a long time.

Bian Guiyan, the word Anzheng, a native of Jixian County, Youzhou, was nearly 50 years old, and he was more upright and honest in dealing with officials. Because some time ago, the Yongxing Military Mansion went to the military post to deliver the good news of the Shanghehuang war, and the emperor had already sent a message, and there was a seal of Hehuang to ask for the camp, and he immediately submitted it to the palace.

The chapter was packed in a small wooden box, and Bian Guiyan was to review it first, and when he opened it, he saw that it was not written on white silk like the usual Jieshuai, but a large stack of dossiers, each stack was packaged in a paper bag, and the book had a label cover.

It is divided into five major items: the detailed report of the first-stage war, the promotion of officers at all levels, the demarcation of post-war defense areas, the future management plan, and the second-stage battle plan. And each of these items is written with an outline, which can be described as detailed and clear at a glance. The other is Zhang Jianxiong's, and the things he says are about the same, but the writing form is different.

"Huh! This is unusual...... "Bian Guiyan has been a privy councillor for several years, and this is the first time he has seen Zhang Yue's chapter, and he was immediately very surprised, he wrote so smoothly that he almost finished reading it in one go, and quickly picked up the main affairs in person and made a record, so that the ministers could ask questions later.

"This record will be sealed first, and the ministers will not take it out if they ask about it, and wait for a certain person to come back from the palace." Bian Guiyan packed the original into the wooden box, sandwiched it under his armpit and turned around and walked out of the Xifu compound, and went to the Jinxiang Hall before passing the Yuehua Gate and Xuanyou Gate.

In winter, the sky is dark early, but in fact, the hour is not too late, all the way to the apse of the Jinxiang Palace, the inside has been held in the lamp, the emperor Guo Rong is coming out with his hands behind his back, and then walked up to the cloister, it seems that he is going back to the harem.

"Official! Side Bachelor asks to see! The little eunuch who led the way in front was still on the steps, and hurriedly shouted from afar, and when he saw Guo Rong, he stopped, and when he saw the side at the bottom of the steps, he turned around and walked back.

"Your Majesty! There is a river Huang to ask for a camp. Bian Guiyan lifted the hem of his purple robe and walked up the steps quickly to salute.

"Go in and talk!" Guo Rong waved his hand, looking tired, his complexion was a little not good, and he sat down after returning to the imperial case in the apse study, and also asked the attendants to move a square low couch with brocade cushions, please sit down.

Bian Guiyan handed over the wooden box, the chamberlain presented the imperial case, Guo Rong opened it and looked at it one by one, he was not surprised, he quickly read it, put down the book and said: "Zhang Yue's idea is good, what do you suggest?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty! The minister thought that the demarcation of the defense zone involved civil affairs, and that the next three items could be discussed in the long run, and that the promotion of officers for military exploits was not in a hurry. There is a precedent for Bian Guiyan to suggest this, and many prefectures and counties have been recovered in the Huainan War, but there is no festival town for the time being.

"Zhang Yue suggested, please transfer Fengzhou Weisheng Army He Jiyun and Zhang Jianxiong to join forces to enter all parts of Songpan, this can be accurate, after all, the distance between the north and the south is too far, and it is very inconvenient for the Zhangyi army to go south. But if the Changyi army attacks Qinghai, does it really need to increase troops? If the grain and grass are levied again, Li Hui of Pizhou may not agree, and the Yongxing Military Government will transfer the grain to Huainan, can Qing have a good plan? Guo Rong was a little helpless, the war in Huainan had been unresolved for a long time, and the armies had besieged Shouzhou City so far, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was already preparing to send troops to relieve the siege and rescue.

"If Shuzhong pays grain to Guanzhong next year, it will be transferred to a part of it as military rations, and some more will be sent out from Pizhou to transfer Li Hui to participate in the war." Bian Guiyan replied that Li Hui of Bizhou had transferred a large amount of military rations, and he had already complained about his grievances, and he was quite dissatisfied, so he let him send troops to have combat merits, which just gagged him.

"Very good! It is said in the chapter that there are 15,000 captured war horses, and it is estimated that they are still on the way, and a batch will be selected for the front division of the palace at that time, and the others can be sent to Huainan. The general's combat exploits will be rewarded, and I will set it first:

Jingzhou Zhang Yue entered the Yan'an County Gong, Jiazuo Longwu General, Jia Tejin, Juzheng Erpin; Zhang Jianxiong of Qinzhou entered Xin'an County, the general of the Jiazhen Army, and the doctor of Jiajin Ziguanglu. There are also Jingzhou Thorn Shi Deyuan, Chengzhou Thorn Shi Liu Xinfa, plus the champion general, plus the silver Qingguanglu doctor.

Liangzhou Assassin Shi Xuan Chongwen, Huizhou League Training Deputy Envoy Zong Jingcheng Jin Yunlu General, Jiazheng Doctor. The next general, the Privy Council, verified the exploits as soon as possible, and reported it to the draft for issuance. ”

Guo Rong is very familiar with the official system at all levels, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he set the rewards of senior officers. Because according to the usual practice, civil and military officials above the fifth rank need to be appointed by the emperor by writing, which is called system awarding; The following five grades are the provincial edict of the Chinese book, which is called canonization.
