Zhang Xuan finally remained silent on Yang Jier's matter, but Zhang Xuan also knew that Yang Ji'er was not a cause, but an effect, and the fundamental reason why the Xiangguo were keen to arrange for him to marry Yang Jier was to promote him to ascend the throne and establish the country.

Once he opened the national name, it would mean the birth of an empire, and his country and society would be stable from now on, which would have a strong oppressive force on the Tang Dynasty, thus forming a huge siphon advantage over the world's talents.

Jang Hyun no longer has any psychological obstacles to ascending the throne and founding the country, but in terms of system, he is still a little undecided.

At noon, Zhang Xuan's carriage slowly stopped in front of Pei's Mansion under the strict escort of hundreds of guards, he did not notice in advance, and came directly to find Pei Ju, the Tai Lieutenant who had disappeared from the Northern Sui officialdom for nearly a year, Pei Ju's last appearance was to go to Chang'an to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty on behalf of the Northern Sui the year before last, but soon after he came back, he fell ill and was paralyzed on the bed for a while, and it has been almost a year since Zhang Xuan last visited him.

The carriage just stopped, but he saw Pei Hong walking out of the mansion, Pei Hong was the commander of the central capital, this year he served as the Taishou of Liangjun and the head of Henan Dongdao, he returned to Beijing two days ago to report on his work, and lived in his grandfather's mansion, Pei Hong recognized Zhang Xuan's carriage at a glance, his eyes showed surprise, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Weichen see His Royal Highness!" ”

Zhang Xuan came out of the carriage, he didn't expect to meet Pei Hong here, so he smiled and said, "When did Pei Taishou return to Beijing?" ”

"Weichen just arrived yesterday, and he is scheduled to officially report to Ziwei Pavilion tomorrow afternoon, and then report to His Highness three days later."

According to the regulations of the Northern Sui Dynasty, the county Taishou needs to return to Beijing every year to report on their work, and the Taishou needs to report to the regent and Ziwei Pavilion respectively, and the content of the report is different, and the specific report time is sent to each county by the secretary province, and the time of each county is different.

Zhang Xuan nodded, he hadn't seen the schedule of the secretary and supervisor yet, no wonder he didn't know.

"I'm here to see your grandfather today, is he there?"

"Grandfather is here, fishing in the back garden."

Zhang Xuan was a little surprised, Pei Ju was actually fishing, and he hurriedly asked, "Your grandfather's body has recovered?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, in addition to the inconvenience of his legs and feet, his body is also tough, and Weichen took His Highness over."

"No need, you go and get busy, I'll talk to your grandfather casually."

Pei Hong was a very shrewd official, and he immediately understood that it was inconvenient for Zhang Xuan to be present when he chatted with his grandfather, so he called the housekeeper to lead the way, and took his leave.

Zhang Xuan followed the housekeeper into the back garden, Pei Ju enjoyed the treatment of Xiangguo, his mansion covers an area of about 80 acres, and the back garden has 30 acres, including a pond of nearly 20 acres, surrounded by weeping willows, the breeze is breezy, which makes people particularly refreshed.

The housekeeper pointed to a gazebo, and Zhang Xuan also saw it, Pei Ju was wearing a loose linen robe and a hat, sitting on a wide soft couch, and was concentrating on fishing, next to him stood a little maid serving him, and behind him stood four housekeepers.

Zhang Xuan smiled and walked up unhurriedly, the housekeeper followed behind, beckoning to the four housekeepers, and the four housekeepers hurriedly followed the housekeeper and retreated.

Zhang Xuan stood behind Pei Ju with his hands and watched for a moment, the little girl lowered her head timidly, not daring to say anything, at this time, the reed pole buoy on the water surface moved, Pei Ju was about to pull the fishing rod, Zhang Xuan smiled: "This is an empty hook, Pei Gong wait a little longer!" ”

As soon as Pei Ju turned around, he was suddenly startled, and hurriedly said: "It turned out that His Royal Highness had arrived, please forgive the old minister for being rude!" ”

Zhang Xuan gently pressed his thin body and said with a smile: "Pei Gong, please sit down, don't be polite." ”

Saying that, Zhang Xuan sat down on an embroidery pier next to him, and Pei Ju hurriedly said to the maid: "Quickly pour tea for His Highness!" ”

The little maid hurriedly poured a bowl of herbal tea for Zhang Xuan, and offered it with both hands, Zhang Xuan took it and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "On such a hot day, Pei Gong is very elegant!" ”

Pei Ju smiled bitterly, "I wanted to fish in the back garden twenty years ago, and I didn't succeed in fishing for twenty years, but now I finally have a chance, and the weather is a little hotter, but it doesn't matter." ”

"When I also fish, I cultivate my mind."

"Your Highness has a lot of opportunities, how can you have time to fish, if Your Highness also starts fishing, it can only be said that it is a misfortune for the people of the world."

Zhang Xuan smiled, "Pei Gong thinks too highly of me." ”

"I'm telling the truth, His Royal Highness recovered Luoyang and shook the world, with His Royal Highness's status, the well-being of the people in the world is tied to His Highness, His Highness has no time to enjoy leisure!"

"Look at Pei Gong's health is not bad." Zhang Xuan smiled again.

"There is only a handful of bones left, it is rare for a person to live to be seventy, I am already eighty, and I am satisfied, so I will go through the last few years peacefully! Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and I don't care. ”

The two chatted for a few words, and at this time, Zhang Xuan glanced at the maid next to him, Pei Ju understood, and said to the little maid: "You should retreat first!" ”

The little maid saluted and withdrew.

At this time, Pei Ju smiled faintly and said: "If I guessed correctly, Your Highness, I want to talk to me about the enthronement!" ”

"How did Pei Gong guess?" Jang Hyun asked in surprise.

Pei Ju smiled slightly: "Hundreds of thousands of people shouted Long live His Majesty the Emperor, does Your Highness think I won't be able to hear it?" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled dumbly, "Based on this, Pei Gong shouldn't have guessed my intention!" Recently, there should be a certain Xiangguo who has visited Pei Gong. ”

Pei Ju squinted and laughed, "Your Highness is really smart!" Su Xiangguo came to visit me the day before yesterday to ask for my opinion on His Highness's accession to the throne, so I could guess His Highness's intention. ”

"Then what is Pei Gong's opinion?"

"I have no opinion, so I told him that instead of asking this and that, it is better to talk openly and honestly with His Highness, and if there are any difficulties, we will find a way to solve them together, and there is no point in asking me."

"Do you want to say this to me too?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.

Pei Ju shook his head, "Of course Your Highness is different, if Your Highness asks the minister, the minister will definitely try his best to help." ”

Zhang Xuan pondered and said, "I do have a question to ask Pei Gong, if I ascend the throne, what should the military power do?" ”

"This is His Highness's biggest heart disease, right?"

Zhang Xuan nodded, "If this problem is not solved, I will not be able to consider becoming a state." ”

"In fact, I have been idle at home for the past two years, and I have been thinking about a lot of things, including the issue of military power that His Royal Highness said, I have carefully considered that Wang Shichong's demise is directly related to his use of nepotism, and the Tang Dynasty is actually the same problem, the competition between countries is a competition of talents in the final analysis, not only literary talents, but also generals in the army. In the past two years, there were basically no famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, and it was easy for Li Xiaogong, who was a little good at fighting, to be deposed, but His Royal Highness could be described as a famous general, and the young generals were gradually maturing, which one could not be alone? The fall of the Zheng State and the repeated defeats of the Tang Dynasty are a very important reason. ”

"Then why does Pei Gong think this situation has been caused?"

"That's the key."

Pei Ju said slowly: "Tang and Zheng's appointment of the clan to control the military power is just an appearance, only a result rather than a reason, the fundamental reason is that Tang Zheng lacks a military power balance system, in fact, we don't have it, just because His Royal Highness personally commanded the army to fight, so it made up for the defects in the system, Tang Zheng will not have this opportunity, but if His Royal Highness ascends the throne, if it is not handled well, it will repeat the mistakes of Tang Zheng, the key is to establish a military power balance system." ”

Pei Ju's suggestion made Zhang Xuan feel like waking up from a dream, which was the fundamental reason why he was unable to ascend the throne for a long time, he always couldn't think of what the problem was, and Pei Ju's words revealed the essence and let Zhang Xuan see the root cause, the balance of military power.

"Pei Gong, please continue."

Pei Ju smiled and continued: "After His Royal Highness ascends the throne, I suggest that the Qi Palace, not to revoke it, but to change its name, but also to strengthen its power, and Ziwei Pavilion is side by side, Ziwei Pavilion is in charge of the government, responsible to His Highness, the new military government is responsible for the army, and is also responsible to His Highness, His Royal Highness will do a good job of both military and political affairs, as for the generals of the army, His Royal Highness can completely delegate the right to fight, but at the same time, there must be a supervising army, and the supervising army will be sent by the new military government, and the supervision of the army, intelligence, rewards and punishments, logistics deployment rights, and recruit training rights, these are responsible for the new military government, The recruitment of new soldiers, tuntian, militia groups, county soldiers, prisoner of war disposal, casualty compensation, maps of mountains and rivers, military imperial examinations, etc., will continue to be managed by the Ministry of War, I think as long as the supervision of the army is in place, the control is in place, and the military power will still be firmly in the hands of His Highness. ”

Zhang Xuan secretly sighed, Jiang is worthy of being old and spicy, and only by seeing the problem through will he have such a direction.

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly and said: "I will think about Pei Gong's plan again, if the Qi Wangfu really wants to change its name, I am ready to change the name to the Military Aircraft Station, and the Imperial History Observatory, but it is not appropriate to completely separate military affairs and government affairs, there will be major hidden dangers in the future, everything can not be taken to the extreme, I still decided to put the power of supervising the army in the Imperial History Terrace, and Ziwei Pavilion also has the right to intervene."
