On May 1, the fourth year of Zhenguan, the imperial court held a court visit again, and this time the court visit, Li Junxian also followed.

"The ministers have seen the emperor!" Salute, everybody.

"Excuse me!" Li Shimin said.

Then, Li Junxian took out a book of music and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to play!" ”

The eunuch beside Li Shimin took over the chapter and handed it to Li Shimin. And Li Shimin smiled, because he already knew what this recital was about. This was discussed between Li Shimin and Li Junxian, and Li Junxian was responsible for making these things publicly in the form of a concerto, so that these things would be made public.

Li Shimin pretended to look at the chapter and said, "Jun Xian, you propose that my Tang Dynasty should completely separate the civil, military, and military administration?" And to set up a full-time military yamen, isn't there almost no distinction between civil and military forces now? ”

When the ministers heard this, they immediately began to talk about it. Now in the early Tang Dynasty, the strength of the army is still very strong. If you want to be the prime minister, you must have something to do with the army, and you must have certain military merits. Even Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are qualified to be prime ministers because they became Li Shimin's military staff and have military merits. Those who are real literati may not be able to directly become prime ministers. Moreover, high-ranking generals can also become civilian officials if they have made war exploits. However, the chance of a civilian official becoming a military attache is relatively small, this is the difference, and now Datang is obviously a military attaché who is more noble. Now Li Junxian proposes a complete separation of civilian, military, and military administration, which is a good thing for civilian officials, but military attachés are weakening their power.

However, the current situation is unclear, and the civilian officials do not dare to rashly come out to support it, and the military attachés do not dare to rashly oppose it, because this is an issue that has a bearing on the future direction of the entire country, and everyone should be cautious.

"Jun Xian, why do you say that my Tang Dynasty wants to separate civil and military?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Junxian continued: "My Tang Dynasty currently implements the government military system, and usually the Zhichong Mansion commands the troops, but the Zhichong Mansion does not have the right to command and transfer troops. When the battle goes out, it is the military department that comes to transfer troops. However, the military department did not have the right to command and command the troops. When he went out on the expedition, the main generals were appointed by the imperial court and belonged to temporary positions, and when he returned, he scattered his soldiers in the major Zhichong Mansions. ”

"Isn't that great?" A civil servant asked.

Li Junxian said: "If you don't know the generals and soldiers for a long time, how can the combat effectiveness be guaranteed?" And the minister can be sure that in less than twenty years, our Tang army is doomed to decline. So this method will not work, and it must be restructured. ”

Li Jun was envious, and everyone looked at Li Shimin. Because this situation of not knowing the generals and not knowing the soldiers was actually deliberately made by the emperor. The emperor just hoped that his subordinate generals would not have too much military power. This will prevent the army from being controlled by his subordinates. But Li Junxian's so-called need for reform directly points to this problem. Ancient emperors were stricter about internal defenses than foreign defenses, so they would rather sacrifice the combat effectiveness of their armies than let their subordinates have the possibility of rebellion.

But Li Shimin smiled, as if he didn't show any anger. And Li Junxian is also very confident, because he communicated with Li Shimin first, and Li Shimin also thinks that this situation should be changed. However, what Li Shimin pursued was to be able to protect both his royal throne and the combat effectiveness of the army. So there has to be a new approach.

However, Li Junxian's special guard gave Li Shimin a new model, that is, the dual chief officer and committee system. Although the special guard is now formed by Li Junxian alone, Li Junxian has supreme authority. But this is just a special case, and Li Shimin also knows that it is impossible for others to copy the model of Tyveid. Because Tyvek from start to finish. From military tactics to weapon research and development, and even the organizational structure, Li Junxian is original, so Li Junxian has such great authority. If other generals want to imitate this model, they will not be able to have the same authority as Li Junxian. As long as the time came, Li Shimin got a committee system, and from different armies. Even if you let people who don't have a good relationship into a committee, then they probably won't be able to completely twist together. In this case, they simply could not rebel. And even if there are ill-intentioned thoughts. It will also be impossible to get up because of the uneven distribution of the internal spoils. When the time comes, as long as the right to transfer troops is controlled, they will not be able to rebel.

"Jun Xian, do you have any way?" Li Shimin asked deliberately.

Li Junxian continued: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the power to command troops, the power to transfer troops, and the power to command operations can be combined, and the three powers can be one. We set up a new yamen to manage the army, and then we introduced a committee system. The committee system is that everyone discusses together and then votes. In the future, the transfer of troops and the affairs of the armed forces will be handed over to the committee members at all levels to manage. If there is something that cannot be decided by the individual of the central army, the yamen of the central army can let the members who are qualified to participate in the voting vote to vote, and the minority obeys the majority, and then hand it over to the emperor to make the final decision. This is true of all affairs, from the logistics of the army to the appointment and dismissal of officers, all matters of great importance must be entrusted to this committee for management, and no one can decide on his own. Without the unanimity of this committee, any order would be a haphazard order. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he also frowned a little. Because according to Li Junxian's method, although no one can completely control the military power, because of this committee system to restrict. However, this result also caused the emperor, who was theoretically supreme, to be unable to completely control the military power, and it had to be decided by this committee, and Li Shimin did not know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. Although it avoids the risk of rebellion caused by the excessive concentration of military power, it is impossible to completely control the military power himself, and once he encounters danger, he cannot deal with it by transferring troops!

Li Junxian saw Li Shimin's appearance, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, how can there be absolute things in this world?" Although any power to transfer troops must pass through the central military yamen, and the military yamen has a committee system to manage, no one can control the military power. But could it be that the people of the central military yamen will collectively rush to their deaths? ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he was immediately relieved. Of course, the emperor will not be able to completely control the military power at that time, but will the central military management committee be collectively betrayed? If you want to transfer troops and horses, you must agree to all the personnel. Unless the army collectively betrays the emperor, this probability is very low. If one day everyone in the army collectively betrays the emperor, then this dynasty may be destroyed, this Li Shimin still understands.

Li Shimin is confident that his descendants will force all the personnel in the army to betray the emperor? How many days does this emperor have to do angry things? (To be continued......)
