Chapter 244 forced the palace to be calculated

Of course, in the process of implementation, there will naturally be all kinds of resistance, the first to dismantle the Xiang Army, the strength is weak, and it is scattered all over the place, it is relatively easy to dismantle it, and it is not so simple to reorganize the 70,000 forbidden army that is concentrated together.

I have always believed that a good start is half the success, and the beginning of this military reform is several times better than I originally estimated, and the four major theaters are standing in one place, and all of them are in favor, so that I don't have to worry about what will happen at the border gates.

After returning to the Funing Palace, Quan Jiu and I ate casually, and then fell asleep early, these two days really tired me, and the axis in my mind turned, even I, the so-called guardian of the mandate of heaven, the emperor, could not bear it,

Xiangfu, night,

Jia Rudao calmly told Liao Yingzhong about the situation of the general reform meeting and the process of meeting Xie Daoqing in person: "Yingzhong, the general situation is like this. ”

After hearing this, Liao Yingzhong sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Lu Wende, who should be the most reliable, fell to the side of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"Well, the old man originally planned to let Lu Wende and others oppose the military reform on the grounds that the border is unstable, even if there are two different opinions in the border army, plus the Lin'an Forbidden Army with opposing opinions, even if there is no chance of winning, it should not fall into the disadvantage, but because of the betrayal of Lu Wende, Xia Gui and others, the old man's plan was disrupted, and it actually led to the four major systems all holding the opinion of favoring the military reform, hey, maybe this is the so-called providence."

"Providence, Master, why is that?"

"The old man also just knew, just the night before the military reform meeting, that is, on the night of September 8, Lu Wende's son Lu Xin led people to make trouble in Tongle Building, and was defeated by the guards in the building, and then Lu Wende personally went to save people, but he drank tea in it for nearly an hour, and he was able to leave our General Lu to drink tea, presumably the owner of Tongle Building, Hu Yan Gongzi, that is, Zhao Yu, the old man once warned his friends in Beijing, don't make trouble in Tongle Lou and Shifeng Commercial Bank, and he didn't tell the Xiangfan envoy Lu Wende Lu Da Ran, But it was this Lu Wende's son who poked out the leak, and the time was so coincidental, Yingzhong, do you say that this is considered a providence. ”

The more contact with His Majesty the Emperor, the more Liao Yingzhong felt that the emperor was a god, and subconsciously produced a kind of respect and even fear in his heart, but after all, Jia Yidao was his benefactor, and with Liao Yingzhong as a person, where would he betray, Liao Yingzhong did not answer, and he didn't know how to answer,

Jia Rudao saw that Liao Yingzhong didn't speak, and then said: "Yingzhong, what do you think the old man should do next." ”

Liao Yingzhong thought for a while and said, "Master, my subordinates think that there are two ways, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

Jia Rudao smiled: "Yingzhong, how did you become a mother-in-law, if you have something to say, you can say it." ”

"Taishi, through this military reform meeting, it can be seen that the current situation in the court is no longer a three-legged situation of imperial power, rear power, and prime power, the imperial power and the rear power are combined, and the power obviously exceeds the relative power, so Yingzhong thinks that the Taishi should obey His Majesty's will at present, temporarily retreat, and look at the opportunity in the future, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely look at the time when the Taishi supported His Majesty to ascend the throne, and retain the position of the head of the hundred officials of the Taishi; In addition, according to the queen mother's wishes, she completely left the court officialdom to enjoy her old age in peace. ”

Jia Rudao frowned and said, "Isn't there a third way?" ”

Liao Yingzhong hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head and said, "Back to Taishi, it's gone." ”

Jia Rudao's face was calm, he got up and walked back and forth in the room before he said slowly: "Yingzhong, you said that if the old man let the forbidden army enter Lin'an and force the palace, it will be a few points of success." ”

"Forcing the palace."

"That's right, it's just forcing the palace, although the border troops are all down, but far water can't quench the thirst of the near, there are as many as 70,000 forbidden troops outside Lin'an City, which is enough."

Liao Yingzhong panicked: "Taishi, no." ”

"Why not."

"This forcing the palace is tantamount to rebellion."

"What if the old man is in the name of the Qing Jun."

"Taishi thinks twice, the atmosphere in the middle of the court is not suitable today, so it can only cause public resentment and official anger, which is counterproductive."

"Yingzhong, don't talk about this, you just need to tell the old man what you think is a good deal."

"Taishi, although my subordinates are not familiar with military affairs, but, Taishi, with all due respect to my subordinates, my subordinates think it is not a success."

"Why?"

"Taishi, although you are currently in charge of the forbidden army, to mobilize the army requires the joint draft of Your Majesty and the Privy Council. Although Fan Wenhu has the highest military rank in the forbidden army, his prestige is not enough to convince the public, and when the tiger talisman is not complete, it is easy to attract questions and even refutation from other generals, which is the second; The forbidden army is close at hand, although it can quickly enter the city, but it is also easy to leak the news in advance, the subordinates think that His Majesty will have a lot of eyes and ears in the forbidden army, just close the imperial city, and then by those eyeliners to make a big splash, the middle and lower generals in the forbidden army are likely to fight back, this is the third, from the above three points, the subordinates think that the calculation is extremely low. ”

Jia Rudao sat back on the Taishi chair and said: "Yingzhong's words also have some truth, the old man thinks about it again." ”

"Taishi, Your Majesty and the first emperor's style of acting is completely different, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, and his subordinates persuade Taishi to think twice before acting, this is not a trivial matter after all, if you are not careful, you are likely to fall into the abyss and never recover." Liao Yingzhong, who has always been calm, also began to get excited when she said it,

Of course, Jia Rudao knows in his heart that Liao Yingzhong is full of good intentions, if there is someone in the world who he believes, this person must be Liao Yingzhong, not his own children and relatives.

"Xiangye." Jia Xuan reported inside, "Lord Weng, the two Fan adults are outside asking to see. ”

"Let them come in, by the way, Jia Xuan, you go to Yanfu Temple to see if Master Lian Zhen has returned."

"Now."

"Yes, right now."

"Yes, Xiangye, my subordinates will go here."

Weng Yinglong and the others saluted after entering the house and said, "I've seen the Taishi." ”

Jia Rudao said in a calm tone: "Well, it's all here, sit down." ”

"Brother Liao, it's you who came first." Fan Wenhudao,

"Hehe, Liao's residence is closest to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is convenient."

"Brother Liao, you must think of countermeasures for your brothers this time." Fan Wenhu continued,

Liao Yingzhong was slightly embarrassed: "Brother Fan, this matter should be considered in the long run, let's sum it up together, just Liao is a person, and he is also poor in donkey skills." ”

"Brother Liao, don't hide your secrets, everyone knows that you are resourceful, and you need to get an idea for my brother this time."

"Brother Fan, Liao will do his best."

"Then brother, I'll thank you in advance." Fan Wenhu clasped his fists with both hands,

Fan Wenhu, as the deputy commander of the palace, is the highest military position in the forbidden army, and the first thing to bear the brunt of this military reform is the forbidden army, of course, Fan Wenhu is on pins and needles.

"Brother Fan, according to the military reform policy set by His Majesty, our dynasty will have six major military regions and the Imperial Forest Army, and the four northern regions are all adapted from the original theaters, only the Lin'an Theater and the Guangnan Theater belong to the newly established establishment, why don't Brother Fan strive for the establishment of these two military regions, of course, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army does not need to think about it, there is no hope."

Fan Wenhu thought carefully about Liao Yingzhong's suggestion, and said after a while: "Brother Liao, Gao Jian." ”

"Not bad." Jia Rudao said suddenly, "Wen Hu, you won the Guangnan Theater as the envoy, Wen Huan, both of you are from the Zhao Yu Military Affairs Academy, you should have some right to speak, the old man guessed that Zhao Yu would use his people in the Lin'an Theater of Operations, but there is still hope for Wen Hu in the Guangnan Theater, no matter what, it is not the whole army that can have a place." ”

Although Fan Wenhu is rough on the surface, his heart is quite delicate, the army is about to change, His Majesty the Emperor will monopolize the power, he belongs to the party of Xiangquan, obviously not liked by the imperial power, if he can be sent to become a feudal official, even if it is a poor and remote country, it is better than becoming a victim of the dispute between the two parties in the DPRK, Fan Wenhu thought of this, and hurriedly responded: "Taishi, then the subordinates will strive to obtain the post of the envoy of the Guangnan Theater." ”

"Well, my Privy Council fully supports it, Wen Huan, and the Ministry of War will too."

"Taishi, half of the military department will support it, but the Guangnan Theater is located on the southern border, overgrown with wild grass, Wenhu, you have to think about it."

"Big brother, don't worry, the Taishi is right, I have no hope for the Lin'an Theater and the Royal Forest Army, brother, I should fight for the right to a place, even if it is a way out in the future, as for the hard work, there is no way." Fan Wenhu said with a look of death,

Fan Wenhuan sighed, but seeing Jia's casual appearance, he asked, "Taishi, what are your plans for military reform." ”

"Intended." Jia Yidao seemed a little angry, and asked rhetorically, "Wen Huan, what do you say the old man should plan?" ”

"This ,,,,,。" Fan Wenhuan was also dumbfounded for a while, not knowing how to answer,

Seeing this, Liao Yingzhong hurriedly relieved the siege and said: "Master Fan, this matter has to be considered by Master Rong, this is not child's play. ”

"Yes, Brother Liao."

Jia Rudao's calmness on the surface still can't hide the anxiety in his heart, these people usually only follow the trend, and they always want to get out of the way when it is critical, hey, this group of people can't be counted on, how can they have any good plans, and they always like to ask this question, it's really annoying,

Liao Yingzhong said: "Everyone, this matter is related to everyone, everyone should also talk about their own opinions, whether it is reasonable or not, how much will be referred to by the Taishi." ”

Weng Yinglong said: "Brother Liao is right, Your Majesty has just established the Government Affairs Yuan, and now he has created a Military Affairs Yuan, obviously he wants to monopolize the military and political power, and if it continues like this, I will not have a good time waiting for the next day." ”

"What does Brother Weng suggest?"

Weng Yinglong said honestly: "I, Weng Yinglong, have always been the only master to look forward, when it comes to suggestions, let's listen to Brother Liao's opinions." ”

Jia seemed to "hum" and didn't speak,

Liao Yingzhong knows that this matter is tricky, the opponent is the current emperor, even if he is a resourceful person, there is no good way, not to mention similar to Weng, Fan and the like, the development of things ultimately depends on the attitude of Master Jia, and the rest are side details, insignificant, Liao Yingzhong said: "Taishi, it's not too early, it's time for me to leave." ”

After everyone left, Jia Rudao sat alone on the Taishi's chair and pondered,

According to Liao Yingzhong, forcing the palace is almost unsuccessful, so is there only a retreat, the power that he has built up with decades of hard work, is it necessary to return to the imperial power, struggle, but is it useful to resist, if it doesn't work, will he be willing to retreat, Jia Rudao's heart is constantly intertwined, sometimes the struggle has the upper hand, and sometimes the retreat fills his mind,

Suddenly, Jia Rudao's mind began to be confused, and he seemed to be out of control.
