Chapter 503: Why is there no reward for meritorious service?
The little emperor left the Daqing Palace, the dynasty dispersed, and the civil and military officials gathered in their own small circles to discuss the war in Shunliao. Even if there is not much information www.biquge.info pen, everyone knows that this battle is actually won by Dashun again!
This is a great event, you must know that for more than 60 years, Dashun has only won two games against Liao, one is the first year of the little emperor's reign, and he won heartily under the city of Youzhou, and he washed away his grievances for many years. The second one, which I just learned, actually went deep into the hinterland of Liao Country alone and won a battle on the side of the Luan River!
It is a strange thing to be able to win against the Khitans, and what is even more strange is that this victory was actually said by the envoys of the Liao State. If it weren't for Yeluren breaking through first, these civil and military officials would still be in the dark and wouldn't know about it at all!
The civil officials are not stupid, and the little emperor's actions are worth playing with this time. Why don't you announce this matter to the world, there must be something inside! The first inside story, which everyone knows, is the non-aggression pact signed by Shunliao and Liao only last year. The little emperor didn't want to make it public, he definitely didn't want to blatantly tear his face. This is a typical example of being cheap and selling well, which is really not in line with the rules of conduct of the people, the little emperor knows how to hide his clumsiness, and the civil officials can also understand it.
But the second point, that's not everyone can guess. It stands to reason that in addition to the emperor, those who control the military power in the Dashun Dynasty are privy envoys and privy deputy envoys. But the little emperor was able to issue a secret order, bypass the military department, bypass the cabinet, and instruct the border army of Fengshengzhou to run for 100 miles. If you want to say that there is no greasy in this, no one will believe it.
Dashun's military system is actually very simple. Most of the military power is in the hands of the emperor, that is, the military talisman lacks the emperor's grant, and not a single soldier can be transferred at all. In the past, when troops were to be sent, the emperor would pretend to ask for the opinion of the Ministry of War, and ask the opinion of the Privy Council. After all, although the secretary of the military department and the privy envoy are military positions, they are generally held by civil ministers. This is also a means of prevention to prevent military generals from abusing power, but in this way, the brave soldiers of the great shun relied on to establish the dynasty and build the country are equivalent to half of them being abolished.
There is no way, the soldiers are bearish, and the bears will be in a nest. It was because it was Wenchen who held the military position, and the grand strategic policy was not accurate, which led to the fiasco of the Youyun border sixty years ago. Although the combat strength of the Dashun border army is still there, in the past 60 years, the Dashun court has not only not learned from the pain, but has ignored it. Now it's okay, the Liao State commits crimes in the south every year, treating Dashun as a sheep and constantly shearing sheep.
And no one has forgotten that since the little emperor came to power, he not only abolished the prime minister and established a cabinet system, but also set up a military staff. The members of the Military Staff were made by the Privy Envoy Jiang Yu, the Deputy Privy Envoy Pan Xingyi and Peng Jinkang, and the Wei Yuanhou Han Fan. Now it's okay, the little emperor is fully capable of passing through the military staff, bypassing the cabinet, bypassing the military department, gathering the talismans, and sending troops in secret.
At this moment, I recall that when the little emperor set up the military staff, no one objected, and no one dared to oppose it. At that time, the little emperor was murderous, more than 200 corrupt officials were imprisoned, and everyone in the court was in danger, where did he dare to touch the little emperor's tiger beard? In this way, the little emperor completed the dual control of political power and military power without hindrance. Is this really what a seventeen-year-old could imagine?
Over there, the head of the household, Shang Shulin Zhenzhong, quietly asked Xu Chongguang, the first assistant of the cabinet, if it was his idea. Xu Chongguang said innocently: "If the old man can have such skills, he will not be just a cabinet chief. The implication is that Xu Chongguang is still dissatisfied with the position of first assistant to the cabinet. Thinking about the scenery of Zaifu back then, the current cabinet leader is not half a bit.
Lin Zhenzhong sighed: "So, the emperor at that time already had such a plan? β
Xu Chongguang nodded and said, "The emperor's vision is far greater than you and me......
And beside the privy envoy Jiang Yu, not many people dared to ask him the truth. Only Wei Yuan waited for Han Fan to come over and asked in a low voice: "Privy Envoy Jiang, is this really the emperor's order?" β
Jiang Yu nodded, and the two of them tacitly agreed.
In fact, they all guessed wrong, this is just a secret conversation between Lu Chengqi and the Privy Council, and it is not about the Military Staff. Otherwise, how could he not even know about Han Fan! In Lu Chengqi's view, these meritorious children have no real ability. If you mix them in, maybe something will leak out. Therefore, on the second day, in the name of insufficient "professional skills" of the Military Staff, the meritorious children including Han Fan were thrown into the Royal Military Academy, which was called "reconstruction". On this day, most of the meritorious children do not have real positions, so they do not need to go to the court. And Han Fan received the actual position of a privy counselor, and only then did he come to the court. This time he will return to the Royal Military Academy to continue his "studies".
The civil and military officials whispered, and after a short time, they had already arrived in front of the Xuande Building, and in the face of these imperial guards, the civil and military officials all consciously closed their mouths.
There is indeed no impermeable wall in the world, and the next day's newspaper was full of various reports on this 100-mile attack. On the contrary, Dashun's "official newspaper" "Dashun Minbao" was silent.
Of course, this can't stop the speculation of the people of Dashun, and within two days, this matter is already known to the world.
Restaurants, tea shops, song halls and dance houses, are all talking about why the emperor doesn't reward meritorious ministers, is it to hack this credit!
Of course, there are still many masters or people, and there is no shortage of insightful people who retorted: "This matter is not suitable for a large reward, the envoys of the Liao State are still in Chang'an City!" Shun and Liao signed a non-aggression pact last year, and if the emperor did this, Liao could only raise troops to the south. In this war, Dashun didn't want to fight, and Liao didn't want to fight either. Since we can't fight, we can only negotiate to solve the ......"
Everyone agreed, and some people speculated: "Hehe, if you don't get a reward for your merits, I'm afraid you will be punished!" β
These are all lords who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they have asked: "What do you say? β
"You think, this matter is clearly the emperor's idea. But the emperor can't be at fault, whose fault is it? It can only be the fault of the Fengsheng State Border Army, the Fengsheng State Governor! You say, "Isn't that the truth?" The man said unhurriedly.
"You can't say that, maybe when the envoys of the Liao State go back, the emperor's reward will come!"
"Hahaha......" Everyone laughed, and they all said that this man was naΓ―ve. Could it be that after the Liao envoys returned, they didn't know about it? This is obviously not to give face to the Liao State, and it is strange that the Liao State is not annoyed and ashamed! β
The man scratched the back of his head with a smile: "It's this reason!" (To be continued.) )
