In the Changchun Palace, Yi Feng and Gao Gong sat opposite each other and played chess leisurely.

On the chessboard, the two of them fell like flying, without too many pauses, and the black Gao Feng grabbed the ground, and formed a thick momentum in the middle of the abdomen with the conversion of the lower right corner, and gained the initiative. However, after entering the second half of the game, Gao Gong made a faint move, first in the battle in the upper left corner of the game out of the problem hand, a big dragon was divided by white chess, and then in the middle of the belly of the robbery there was a low-level miscalculation, by Yi Feng jumped all the way, a sword to kill the black chess dragon, seeing this Gao Gong immediately admitted defeat.

"Your Majesty is a chess player, and the old minister is ashamed." Gao Gong threw his son and let it go.

Yi Feng laughed and was in good spirits, "Shenggu is happy to be defeated, Taishi's mentality is really good." "I won three games of chess in a row, and the competition for the front was fierce, and Gao Gong had the advantage, and then there were always some low-level mistakes that should not be made in the middle stage, and then there were faint moves in the later stage, and it was clear that Gao Gong was deliberately letting Yi Feng go. can even control the situation, in fact, it has already shown that Gao Gong's chess skills are not a star and a half higher than Yi Feng. Gao Gong conceded chess, and let it be so decisive and high-profile, undoubtedly showing Yi Feng his attitude now. He really didn't want to fight with the emperor for anything, so he voluntarily admitted defeat and was willing to quit.

In the art of Go, the more you reach the master's game, the more you need to know how to abandon the child. The inverted boots in Go are to squeeze a large piece of yourself to death first, and only after the world is spacious can you move freely, and you don't have to be in a dilemma. At this level, the most taboo thing is to fight for every inch, and eventually gain a place and lose the overall situation. The way of the chess game is varied and varies from person to person, and those who love money make mistakes because of greed, and those who are irritable are angry and bad things.

The so-called chess is like life, and chess is also a war, and Sun Tzu's Art of War in the first soldier and the second attack and the second attack can explain the key to the attack and killing of the Go dragon. For the attacker, if the intention is to attack the opponent somewhere in a large piece. Then you have to remember, don't be greedy for a small bargain and get out of tricks such as cutting the tail first, even if this kind of small bargain is given away for free, don't be greedy. You might as well wait until the official time to eat, and before that, if you can't attack the big chess, don't touch it at all. It is probably the "don't startle the snake, don't rely on the attack" in Go tactics. Otherwise, the other party can borrow the abandoned son to move. made an eye, eliminated the robbery, and got the first hand. Extending from Go to the art of war, the same is true, cheap is greedy, and you can't be careful, every inch must be competitive, master, what needs to be seen is the general trend. For the sake of the overall situation, we must understand and be willing to take the initiative to abandon our children.

Gao Gong is obviously such a master. A prime minister who has been in power for nearly 20 years, who is an extremely shrewd person, how can he not understand this.

"Is there another round of Taishi?" Yi Feng asked him.

"The old minister can't do it, he has lost consecutive battles, and his morale is gone, but he doesn't dare to be sharp again." Gao Gong arched his hand as he spoke, and quickly shook his head. He was just over sixty, his hair and beard were gray, and his body was large, but he looked a little thin. "The old man is still a little self-aware. I'm not going to ask myself for humiliation anymore. ”

"Then drink some tea, I have tea from the Southwest Yi people, it has a different taste, it's very good." Yi Feng made a gesture. The chamberlain stepped forward, removed the chessboard, and served tea. In addition to a few palace attendants, there are only him and Gao Gong in this side hall, and the hall is smoked with ambergris, and the fragrance is refreshing. "Speaking of which, although the southwest land is a lot of mountains. But it is also rich in products, tea, trees, medicinal materials, minerals, etc., but it is a pity that the Central Plains court has always focused on the north, and almost rarely takes into account the south, especially the southwest, in fact, I think that the southwest is actually more valuable than the northwest. As long as the imperial court really develops to the southwest, it will be difficult for them to stop this general trend, and it will not take long, maybe a few decades, to develop this raw land in the southwest into cooked soil, and then the southwest will become a safe backyard of the empire, providing a large number of people and various materials. ”

"The north, especially on the grasslands, has always been a problem for the Central Plains, and we must not underestimate the enemy at any time. Ignoring the southwest Yi is just a problem of ringworm and scabies, but if you ignore the nomadic tribes in the north, it is a problem of henchmen. For generations, the northern Hu people have been the great enemies of the Central Plains, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Rouran, Turkic, these powerful grassland tribes have been suppressed by the Central Plains Han people, not to mention that there have been five Hu and sixteen kingdoms in history, and they have almost exterminated the Han people in the north. A lesson from the past. Gao Gong took the brewed tea, blew the hot air gently, and took a sip. Gao Gong always does things in an orderly manner, and Yi Feng has long noticed it. "The nomadic tribes of the north are certainly not to be taken lightly, but the southwest cannot be ignored either. In the grasslands of the north, we can defeat them, but we cannot occupy the grasslands, let alone exterminate them. The Xiongnu weakened, the Xianbei people rose, the Xianbei people went south to the Central Plains, and the Rouran people rose in the grassland, the Rouran people weakened, and the Turkic people rose. In short, the Xianbei people entered the Central Plains and established the Wei Dynasty in the north, but although the Central Plains Dynasty defeated the grassland tribes several times, it never established real rule in the grassland. ”

"That's not an easy thing, the old minister is already old, although he also wants to contribute to His Majesty again, but his body is no longer good. Please also ask your majesty to allow the old man to return home! Gao Gong knew very well what the emperor was summoning him to the palace today, and he would not really follow the emperor's words to talk about the new strategy of the imperial court towards the north.

"I really don't want to lose Gao Xiang, the new dynasty has just been established, everything is complicated, and I need an old prime minister like Gao Xiang who has been in power for 20 years, you are the prime minister of the three dynasties, and you are the pillar of the country. Hey, but Xiangguo is old, and he really needs to recuperate after years of hard work. In this way, I promise you to go back to your hometown first, but if I encounter something serious and difficult to decide, I will still send someone to ask the Taishi's opinion, okay? Yi Feng looked very reluctant.

"The minister is deeply honored, if he can get out of the heavy work of Shangshu Province and just provide some construction for His Majesty, the minister will naturally do his best."

"Okay." Yi Feng picked up the teacup and took a big sip. It is a great good thing that Gao Gong is so aware of the current affairs and withdraws from the center.

"Taishi has left Shangshu Province, so is there any suitable person who can recommend it to me?"

"Today's left servant shoots Yang Su and the right servant shoots Su Wei, both of whom are highly trusted ministers when they were ancestors, and they are in Shangshu Province, so they can be a good assistant to His Majesty, in addition, the current secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu Niu Hong, the Ministry of War Shangshu Su Xiaoci, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Yu Wenkai are all very good suitable candidates, and the other ministers have nothing to say."

"When the Great Sui was established, His Majesty changed the official system of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and adopted the Han and Wei systems, and many Qi official systems were also adopted in terms of the official system. The system of three provinces and six ministries was created, and then the provinces and prefectures were withdrawn from the counties, which greatly strengthened the centralization of power. It's just that after all these years, Shangshu Province has become the governing body. Under the leadership of the old lady, she really played very well. However, the Menxia Province and the Ministry of Internal History were not very satisfactory, and they were originally the Ministry of Menxia, which was in charge of reviewing government decrees and sealing and refutation, as well as daily life affairs such as the emperor's food and clothing, and was in charge of drafting the emperor's edicts. The Ministry of Internal History, which is the central order organ, has not played much of its due role at all. Yi Feng said to Gao Gong that the three provinces were originally in charge of decision-making, deliberation and implementation, and divided the original prime minister's power into three, which was the weakening of imperial power to prime minister's power. However, although the Sui Dynasty had three provinces, Shangshu Province was weighted, and the power and responsibility of Shangshu Province have become greater and greater over the years, and the Menxia and Inner History Province have almost become subordinate institutions of Shangshu Province. Now that Gao Gong is gone, Shangshu Province still needs Yang Su and Su Wei, and Su Wei is better. He believed that this person would not cause trouble for himself, but Yang Su was different, this was an ambitious and extremely capable person, with the same ability as Gao Gong, but more ambitious and younger. Yi Feng didn't want Gao Gong to be gone, but Shangshu Province was still dominant.

Of course, Gao Gong knew the details of this, but he was already a person who had already left, so why bother with Yang Su, so he just didn't answer.

"I have a plan. After the official tribute of the Taishi at the court meeting tomorrow, the imperial court announced that the Shangshu Order would never be awarded to anyone again, as a reward for the high minister. Yi Feng said with a smile.

Gao Gong's heart moved slightly when he heard this, and he became the only Shangshu Ling in this dynasty. This is indeed the honor of the minister, but he believes that this is definitely just the emperor's heart, and he doesn't want to give this important post of Shangshuling in the future, and rewarding him is just a matter of incident.

"I also have an idea to set up a government hall for the prime ministers to work together. The left and right servants of Shangshu Province, the acceptance of the province under the door, and the internal history of the province of internal history are all added to the title of Pingzhang and are prime ministers. Then he was given the title of secretary and supervisor, imperial historian, secretary of the ministry, secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Jingzhao Yin plus the title of governor, and was the deputy prime minister. The nine phases of the political hall are in power, and the office is centralized in the political hall, and the prime ministers take turns to be on duty in the political affairs pen, and the political affairs hall is located in the province under the door. The government hall and the Privy Council, one ruling and one in charge of the army, are both civil and military. Yi Feng revealed to Gao Gong his next plan to change the situation in the court.

Although Yi Feng only said such a general idea, Gao Gong had already heard the importance of this.

The most important thing is the political hall, in the past, the system of three provinces and six ministries, the system of the imperial court was to take the governors of the three provinces as the prime ministers, because the province of Shangshu was not light yì set up the Shangshu order, so in fact, the Shangshu was the main official of the left and right servants, so there were four prime ministers in the three provinces. However, because the authority of the subordinates and the Ministry of Internal History were encroached upon by the Ministry of Shangshu, in fact, there were two prime ministers, the left servant shot as the prime minister, and the right servant shot as the second minister. But now it's different, the centralized office of the political affairs hall means that there is a political affairs hall above the Shangshu Province that originally held the power, and the political affairs hall has nine prime ministers and deputy prime ministers, and what kind of political affairs pen, needless to say, you will know that the prime ministers take turns to master this pen, and whoever holds this pen is considered the prime minister. In this way, wouldn't it mean that Zuo Servant will no longer be the prime minister, but nine prime ministers will take turns in power, and this will no longer be a prime minister with a false name, but a real prime minister.

Obviously, this political hall is to go to Shangshu Province, which now has the sole power, and even the political affairs hall is not located in Shangshu Province, but in Menxia Province.

What made Gao Gong even more frightened was that after the establishment of this political hall, the Privy Council was still independent outside the political hall, that is, a piece of military power, military and government, which was really and completely separated from the hands of the prime minister, and the prime minister could no longer control the military power.

It turns out that this is the new emperor's last move, and it seems that even if he doesn't take the initiative to retreat, the emperor has a way to take the power. Nine prime ministers, oh my God, they still take turns to govern, plus one zheng, three deputies and four privy envoys, then there are thirteen top ministers in the center of the court, and it is really difficult to monopolize power and be a prime minister like Chongqian again. He suddenly felt a little happy in his heart, Yang Su had always wanted to replace him, and now that he finally took the initiative to ask to retreat, he must have thought that he thought he was the prime minister of the court, but he didn't know what kind of reaction he would have when he heard the emperor announce this in the court tomorrow. If you want to be the prime minister and the prime minister, don't dream. In the Great Sui Dynasty, there will never be such a prime minister in the future.

The next day, the new emperor in the court formally accepted Gao Gong's request to Shi, Gao Gong immediately resigned from the post of Shang Shuling, but retained the title of Taishi, the emperor especially for Gao Gong after the Emperor gave a four-wheeled carriage, and let Shaofu Temple in Gao Gong's hometown Puzhou was ordered to build a Qi State Mansion, plus 500 households to 10,000 households to 10,000 households, and 5,000 households to seal 5,000 households.

Then, the new emperor asked the official to announce the edict and set up a political affairs hall in Menxia Province, with the titles of Shangshu left and right servants, Nayan, and Neishi Ling Jiapingzhang as the prime minister, and the titles of secretary and supervisor, imperial historian, secretary of the ministry, civil department of the ministry, and Jingzhao Yin plus the governor of the government, as the deputy prime minister. The nine ministers work together in the political affairs hall, take turns to govern the affairs of the pen, and set up five rooms under the political affairs hall: the officer's room, the cardinal's room, the soldier's room, the household room, and the torture room, and divide the affairs of the people, and the Hanlin Yuan is included in the secretary province. The government hall and the Privy Council stand side by side, and the prime minister does not pre-military. Pingzhang political affairs are regarded as the second grade, participating in political affairs from the second grade, the privy envoy is the second grade, and the privy deputy envoy is from the third grade.

Shang Shuling will no longer give people since the north.

"Emperor Dasui decreed, Shangshu's left servant shot Yang Sujia Pingzhang's political title, Shangshu's right servant shot Su Weijiapingzhang's political title, Li Gangjin's subordinate province accepted Yan, plus the title of governor, Xue Daoheng Jin's internal history order added Pingzhang's political title, all of them were prime ministers. Jin Wei Zheng is the secretary and supervisor, plus the title of governor, Jin Liu Wenjing is the imperial history doctor, plus the title of Pingzhang political affairs, the history department Shangshu Niu Hong plus the title of the governor, the Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu Fan Zigai plus the title of the governor, Jin Xu Deyan is the title of Jingzhao Yin plus the governor of the government, Wei Zheng Liu Wenjing Niu Hong Fan Zi Gai Xu Deyan is the deputy prime minister. ”

Everyone whose name is read gets up and kneels before hearing the proclamation.

After the edict was read, Yang Su and other nine new ministers thanked the deputy prime minister for receiving the decree.

After the nine prime ministers of the political hall worshiped the seal, the proclamator announced the edict again, this time to worship the privy envoy, the Privy Council added a total of five envoys, Wang Bao is the main envoy, also known as the middle envoy, under him, there are four deputy privy envoys before and after, He Ruobi is the left and right privy envoys, Han Seng Shou is the right privy envoy, Shi Wansui is the privy envoy, Li Jing is the privy envoy.

The edict official took out another edict and continued to announce the edict, Wei Zheng was the left Cheng of Shangshu Province, Li Mi was the right Cheng of Shangshu Province, Liu Xingben was the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Liu Shu was the Shangshu of the Military Department, Su Xiaoci Jin Huangmen Shilang, and Yuan Wuji was the Neishi Shilang

Yang Su sat on the seat, watching one after another officials come forward to listen to Feng Zhi's thanksgiving, and suddenly felt empty in his heart, Gao Gong finally left, but he failed to become the prime minister. (To be continued.) )xh118R1052
