Chapter 473: A Dilemma
If Yang Lin refuses to agree, then the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands will be a big problem. It was not the soldiers and horses of the imperial court at all, it was completely Yi Feng's own money to establish an army to support, a private army of more than 100,000 people, and a Hu people who repeatedly defeated the grassland hussars, imagine Yi Feng's appearance in this battle, the multi-way attack of 150,000 Turks, but he did not respond to all changes, and in the end, he did not even have a tragic battle, so he easily broke two of them. 150,000 Turkic troops, converted into the government soldiers of the Great Sui, must be at least 200,000.
Yang Jian felt a headache. Yang Lin was so unexpected, he now regrets why he didn't check this grandson carefully, he really deserves to be a person who has been living among the people for more than ten years and has become the leader of the horse thieves.
At the same time of headache, he was a little amazed, this grandson was indeed very powerful, and he was so powerful that he was surprised. The crown prince is mediocre, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, has long had the intention of seizing the sect, of course Yang Jian is also clear, and even he actually connived at the ambition of the king of Jin in his heart, because he is more and more disappointed in Yang Yong from the bottom of his heart, he is old, and he is also beginning to think about the successor of the dynasty. It is difficult for a person like Yang Yong to catch the future of the dynasty. Yang Guang's expression Xiàn made him very satisfied, he was very good everywhere, not to mention writing poems and calligraphy, etc., since he was a child, he was famous for his Confucianism, and he was famous. However, as a monarch, these aspects do not need to be too good, he values Yang Guang's ability to govern the local area, after pacifying Nanchen, Yang Guang sat in Yangzhou, a town for eight years, and the expression was extremely good. At the beginning, just after Chen Pingnan, a major rebellion broke out in the Jiangnan area, but after Yang Guang took charge, there was no problem in Jiangnan. The grain, cloth, silk and tea in the south of the Yangtze River have made a great contribution to the prosperity of the Great Sui. With this alone, Yang Guang was qualified to inherit the unification and take over the Sui Dynasty.
However, Yang Guang is not without shortcomings, Yang Jian has always felt that this son may have stayed in Jiangnan for a long time. married a Jiangnan wife, and there were many Jiangnan literati around him, and he even lived a soft language of Wu Nong, which made his son have a taste that he couldn't say, a taste he didn't like. He prefers the kind of heir who is full of Northland character and has cultural talent. But it doesn't need to be too good. He also has military talent, which is very much needed in the Great Sui, which has just unified the world, especially since there is such a powerful Turk in the north, and there is a Goguryeo in the east that has been eyeing the tiger. The world is not peaceful. The Great Sui needed a monarch who could fight. More importantly, the Great Sui also needs a monarch with a long-term vision and a view of the overall situation.
Originally, he had always thought that Yang Guang was such a candidate, but now, his grandson Yang Lin seems to be better than Yang Guang. Yang Lin also has a literary name, and he has read a lot of poems made by Yang Lin that are submitted below, and they are very well written. It is not like the obscene and flashy style since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but it is very Wei Wu style and atmosphere. The style is very high. And if it is compared to Wu, it must be better than Yang Guang, although Yang Guang once led the army to level Chen and led the troops to fight the Turks, but it was all in the nature of being in command. But Yang Lin really led the troops to fight, and even rushed to the front. Let's talk about this battle. Although it is no longer in person before the battle, the ability to coordinate the overall situation is already quite good.
However, Yang Guang and Yang Lin have one thing in common. He could see that these two people were very good at disguise.
How will he choose? Choose Yang Guang. Yang Lin will be a big trouble, not only must Yang Yong be deposed, but also Yang Lin must be deposed together, and he must be sealed to the far south of Xinjiang, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles. In comparison, it is better to continue to maintain the current situation, Yang Yong is the crown prince, Yang Lin is the grandson of the emperor, even if Yang Lin has heavy troops, anyway, the world will be his sooner or later, so he doesn't have to worry too much. However, there is also a problem, although he set up Yang Lin as the emperor's grandson, but in the future, if he becomes a big business, Yang Yong becomes the son of heaven, and then Yang Yong will change the prince? Will there be a rebellion of the crown prince and the ugly thing of ousting the emperor's father from power?
Yang Lin, Yang Lin, you really surprised me. I knew that at the beginning, he would not have made Yang Lin the emperor's grandson so casually, but now it is good. Yang Lin is the grandson of the emperor, so he can't let go of the choice of heir.
"Maybe you can consider taking Yang Lin's army back to the imperial court and fortifying it elsewhere." Yang Jian thought about it, and when he thought that Yang Lin, the emperor's grandson, had no less than 200,000 troops in his hands, he felt like a man's back. Before Yang Guangcai showed a little sign of being too strong, he immediately took Yang Guang away from the shackle and put him under house arrest for a while. Now that Yang Lin already has such a powerful private army, how can he rest assured. With such an army in Yang Lin, it can be said that he can't take any action about changing the reserve, otherwise he will most likely face a rebellion. After saying that, he even had to think about it a little more thought, what if Yang Lin couldn't wait, what if he wanted to replace me? Yang Lin had to think like this, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
He took out another twist from the corner of Yu'an, but this was when the grandson was in Beijing, and some of the records he discussed with him when he entered the palace, they were all top secret words, and those words never left this palace, and he didn't even tell the queen. Those words were later recorded by Yang Jian himself and often looked at them. They are all about some reforms of the imperial court system, such as the reform of the official system, and even the reform of the tax system, the military and so on. Some have already begun to be implemented, such as the reform of rank officials and honorable officials, and some such as the feudal princes of Southern Xinjiang, etc., of course, the vast majority of them are still only on the paper of this fold.
Yang Jian looked through it and found one of them.
It was about the abolition of the governor's offices at all levels, and Yang Lin believed that the governor's offices were suitable for the beginning of the founding of the country, but if they are unified today, this system is no longer suitable. In particular, the system of the prince serving as the chief administrator is becoming more and more unsuitable. For the long-term stability of the empire, Yi Feng proposed that the princes should be feudal, and they should not be the same as the feudalism of the Han and Jin dynasties, and the princes had to be sealed to southern Xinjiang, so that the court could not only be suppressed, but also avoid the princes from making rebellion in the future and threatening the court. After the abolition of the Great Governor's Office, the simple division of the state and county levels will also make it difficult for the central court to rule, and one level should be added above the state and county, and roads or roads can be set up above the state, or provinces. In the past, there were also three levels of administration, prefectures, counties and counties, and there were also four levels of administration, Xingtai, state, county, and county, but whether it was three or four levels, it was not suitable for the current situation.
There are three levels of states and counties, and there are disadvantages of too many counties and too many states. However, the system of exercising Taiwan is extremely unfavorable to the centralization of power because of the excessive power and responsibility of the Shangshu Order. Therefore, the ideal state should be to abolish the county level and add the first level of the line, but it should not be the original line. Although the imperial court should set up an institution at the level of the executive platform, it must prevent the power of the executive platform from being too large, so the best way is to set up the executive platform, but it cannot set up an official with full authority to divide the power and rule. You can continue to use the name of Xingtai Shangshu Province, or directly change it to Dao and Lu, and at this level there is no chief like the Assassin Shi, but three divisions. The emperor's grandson Jianyì directly set up three divisions: the Department of Announcing Political Envoys, the Department of Procurators and Prosecutors, and the Department of Commanding Envoys. Undertake to announce the Department of Political Envoys, in charge of the civil affairs and finance of a province, and set up political envoys on the left and right; In addition, a department of probation and probation is set up to be in charge of justice, and a left and right probationary envoy is set up; Set up a capital command envoy or a capital department, in charge of local military and political affairs, and set up left and right command envoys. The three are not subordinate to each other, but are under the jurisdiction of the relevant departments of the central government, and each department has two chiefs, and they can also supervise each other to avoid dictatorship. In the whole country, about 15 to 18 provinces, or roads or roads, can be set up, and they will administer more than 1,000 counties in more than 300 prefectures across the country, so as to reduce the burden on the central authorities.
When Yi Feng said these words to Yang Jian, he basically took out the settings of the later Ming Dynasty. Historically, Sui and Yang Guang had supervision states, Tang Dynasty roads, and Song Dynasty roads, but the supervision states and provinces in the Sui and Tang dynasties were all in the nature of supervision and were not administrative agencies. In the Song Dynasty, we were gradually divided into four divisions: Shuai, Cao, Xian, and Cang, and Shuai was the pacification envoy and was in charge of military and civil affairs; Cao is the transfer envoy, in charge of finance and supervision; The constitution is in charge of judicial and prison proceedings; The cang is to raise the Changping envoy, and the righteous cang rescues. However, due to the excessive centralization of power in the Song Dynasty, it was only regarded as a temporary dispatch of central officials, and it was a local official of a special and strict significance, but later they went their own way, which was completely different from the supervision of the prefecture and the province in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and was the beginning of the later local administrative decentralization system.
The road of the Song Dynasty still has some deficiencies compared to the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and the pacification power of the Song Dynasty road level is in charge of both military and civil affairs, and the power and responsibility are great. However, the political envoys of the Ming Dynasty were only in charge of civil affairs, and there is no doubt that the three envoys of the Ming Dynasty were definitely more progressive in decentralization than the roads of the Song Dynasty.
Yang Jian set up the Great Governor's Mansion and let the princes sit in charge, in order to avoid excessive local power and confrontation with the central government. But although the prince is more credible than the foreign ministers, there will also be local and central confrontations, but now the chief governors are the children and grandchildren of the emperor, but what if the emperor is the brother of the governors in the future. Just as Yang Guang became the emperor in the future, how could there be peace between Yang Lin, the chief of the heavy army, and the emperor.
Yang Jian turned out this proposal at this time, but in fact, he was already thinking about a solution.
Abolish the Great Governor's Office, set up roads or roads in the world, abolish the small and medium-sized governor's offices, set up left and right commanders on the roads, set up commanders in the prefectures, and set up county lieutenants in counties.
After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Jian summoned Wang Hai.
"Spread my will, and immediately summon Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, the governor of Qinzhou, to Beijing!"
"Yes!"
Wang Hai retreated and went to Menxia Province to ask them to draw up an edict, and then handed it over to the Inner History Province, and asked the Inner Governor Province to send the Neishi Sheren to Qinzhou to announce the decree.
Only Yang Jian was left in the Ganlu Palace, he got up and walked to the huge map of the world hanging on a wall, and began to look in the southern Xinjiang, preparing to find a piece of land for Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, to be a feudal vassal state. Since the governor's mansion is to be withdrawn, then it is necessary to start now, first feudal Shu kings to build vassal states, and then take advantage of the situation to abolish the Qinzhou governor's mansion, and by the way, take back the military power of Guanzhong Longyou. Since he knew that Yang Lin had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, Yang Jian really didn't have a lot of tea and didn't sleep sweetly. (To be continued) R655
