Chapter 549: Lead the snake out

The privy councillor is in charge of the army, and the government hall is in charge of the machine affairs, which is now known as the east and west two governments. The Emperor also seems to have intended to enhance the authority of the Privy Council, and hereby decreed that the five Privy Council ministers should be called the governors, and the nine prime ministers of the Privy Council should be called the governors. The Privy Council is in charge of military affairs, and the Privy Council is in charge of military affairs.

After the establishment of the Privy Council, the authority was extremely heavy, and the military department, which originally controlled the military and political affairs, was left with only the power of administration and logistics, as well as the selection of low-level military attachés. The Privy Council is in charge of the military affairs, military defense, border preparation, and military orders, and the secret orders are issued to govern the country. Even all the guards and guards, the recruitment of internal and external forbidden soldiers, the examination, the relocation and supplement, the cantonment, and the rewards and punishments are all in charge. Even the power of selection, promotion, and reward of senior military attachés who originally belonged to the Ministry of Officials was also transferred to the Privy Council, and the most important one was that after the establishment of the Privy Council, the civil and military affairs were separated, and the Zai no longer had jurisdiction over military, political and military affairs.

Before Yi Feng established the Privy Council, the prime ministers were in charge of everything, and the general civil and military affairs, as well as the military and political affairs, were also under their jurisdiction. Although after the founding of the Sui Dynasty, three provinces and six ministries were set up, with the governors of the three provinces as the prime ministers, and the prime ministers were divided into four, which weakened the authority of some prime ministers in disguise, but the principle that the governors of the three provinces had great policies and everything was unified remained unchanged, and they were the decision-makers in major military affairs. After Yi Feng ascended the throne, he set up a political affairs hall and increased the number of prime ministers from four to nine, and the prime ministers took turns to serve as political ministers, which greatly weakened the power of the original prime minister, especially the power of the original monopoly of Shangshu Province. The government hall was established, the number of prime ministers was increased from four to nine, and the central decision-making body of the imperial court was also transferred from Shangshu Province to the government hall. Then Yi Feng added the Privy Council, but he took the military and political power out of the hands of the prime minister. It is presided over by five chief and deputy privy councillors on behalf of the Son of Heaven. Even the military department in the six departments, of which the power is all vested in the privy council.

Such an important institution. It is completely equal to the government hall.

The five consuls of the Privy Council, the first president, the four deputy presidents, and the nine marshals of the three officials, the three presidents and the six deputy ministers, all became the top ministers in the imperial court.

Shi Wansui was suddenly dismissed from his post and vacated the position of deputy privy envoy, and the current military department Shangshu Liu said that he was not impressed, which was false. He had already achieved the position of Neishi Ling, but his ass was not hot, the emperor's father-in-law died, and he was unwilling to be the emperor's brother-in-law, so he was dismissed and went home for a while. It was the nephew's turn in the world, and he came out in a hurry, but instead he only got a position as the secretary of the military department in the new dynasty, and he returned to the position before he was the internal history order. If that's all there is, it's better, but as soon as he became the secretary of the military department, the imperial court immediately set up a political hall, and then a privy council, so that it came. He, who was originally the second-ranked secretary of the military department among the six departments, is now embarrassed to death, and suddenly became an idle yamen in the Ministry of Rites. There are nine prime ministers in the political hall, and two of the six Shangshu are lined up. Both the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Civil Affairs were awarded the title of Governor and became Deputy Prime Minister. Originally, the six rankings were on the way up. The civil punishment is carried out, and the ritual labor is downward. And now the Ministry of Civil Affairs has become the deputy prime minister. However, his power as the secretary of the military department has been continuously reduced, and he has become a dispensable yamen.

Liu Shu was still very dissatisfied in his heart. It was only his wife, Princess Lanling, who advised him to be down-to-earth and low-key, so he kept holding back. But now that Shi Wansui has been stripped of his position as deputy privy councillor, he thinks that he is the most qualified to succeed Shi Wansui and enter the Privy Council to become the consul. He is the current and former secretary of the military department, and at the same time he is also the former internal Shi Ling, and he is the son-in-law of Gaozu, and he is the uncle of today's son, so it should be his turn no matter what. The last redetermination of the title, he was originally the Duke of Jian'an County, but he was demoted to the county lord of Jian'an, I heard that if it weren't for the face of Princess Lanling, he would not be able to add a founding country in front of him, and a lifetime in the back. In any case, he felt that he owed him today, and it was certain that he would succeed Shi Wansui as the privy deputy this time.

Even Wang Bao and Li Jing can be privy deputies, so why can't they do it.

It's just that Liu Shu completely guessed Yi Feng's thoughts, Yi Feng is by no means looking at face and qualifications, he values more ability and ability, and reliability and loyalty. Wang Bao was his old subordinate in Yanshan, the head of Yanyun's eighteen horsemen, who had followed him for eight years, countless times of birth and death, shielding himself from arrows and swords, charging into battle with himself, and his loyalty never wavered. Moreover, after the establishment of the Huaihuang Army, it was also outstanding. As for Li Jing, it is because of his series of military exploits, and also because he is also from the Guanlong Group. Just like he used Han Seng Shou and He Ruobi and Shi Wansui, these three people are all famous generals in the DPRK and China, and of course they are very thoughtful.

But the Privy Council is extremely important in Yi Feng's court layout, and it must be controlled by itself.

The scale of the Liaodong War has escalated, and the war ahead needs a stable court, but at the same time, the Privy Council, the highest military organ that coordinates military and political affairs, needs to have generals who are proficient in the art of war and familiar with the battle formation.

Liu Shu originally had a chance, he was a relative of the emperor and an old minister of the former dynasty, and he was the secretary of the military department, he was eligible to enter the Privy Council, but He Ruobi and Han Seng Shoushi Long live the three of them had already entered, and Liu Shu naturally could not enter again. Shi Wansui was originally selected but did not choose Liu Shu, also because although Liu Shu had been the secretary of the military department, he had never led soldiers or fought a war, and his prestige in the army was far inferior to Shi Wansui. Shi Wansui was able to enter the Privy Council because of his reputation as one of the four famous generals of the dynasty. It's a pity that Shi Wansui is an arrogant person, even if he didn't have this drunken and rude behavior, Yi Feng would not let him stay in the Privy Council for a long time, and sooner or later he would find a reason to demote him, the difference is just sooner or later. Now that Yi Feng has found a reason to drive Shi Wansui out, how can he find another non-confidant to come in.

After Shi Wansui was dismissed, Yi Feng did not let him vacate this position for too long, after deciding to expand the war in Liaodong, Yi Feng then issued an edict, worshiping Gao Jia, the general of the right Yu Lin Wei, as the former envoy of the Privy Council, with Shan Xiongxin as the marshal of the border ya, Qin Shubao as the marshal of the northern ya, and Dou Jiande as the marshal of the southern ya, and followed by a large-scale adjustment of the generals and generals of the military guards, more generals of the emperor's lineage were transferred, and many of the original generals of the former dynasty were transferred.

After the edict was issued. It is said that Princess Lanling's concubine, the secretary of the military department, and Boliushu of Jian'an County fell ill that night, and I heard that she was very sick. I can't get out of bed, let alone go to the government to do business. After Yi Feng received his excerpt on sick leave. chuckled, shook his head, and then took the imperial pen and Zhu pen behind the fold and wrote a paragraph, directly so that Liu Shu did not have to worry about the court affairs in the future, and let him concentrate on recuperation.

The next day. At the same time, Yi Feng issued an edict ordering the former Daxing Gyeonggi to be an official and awarded a knighthood within three generations, as well as wealthy families with more than 1,000 acres of fertile land or more than 5 million yuan in family property, all moved to Luoyang. This will immediately caused Guanzhong to boil. Even many ministers in the imperial court wrote against the plan, but Yi Feng was unmoved. Move away these powerful families in Guanzhong. The purpose is to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, so as not to be too strong in the Guanzhong region. Especially in Guanlong Group, Yi Feng has always been very vigilant and cautious. Since the capital is to be moved to Luoyang in the Central Plains, it is necessary to prevent problems in the Guanzhong area. Tongguò's relocation is actually to purge the Guanlong Group again, and finally reach a controllable range. Guanlong Group is in the Guanzhong area. That's deep-rooted, extremely powerful. Moving them away can enrich the Luoyang area of the new capital. Quickly turn Luoyang into the political, cultural, and military center of the whole country, and at the same time take the opportunity to break up these Guanlong cliques and separate them from their inherent territorial soil.

Yi Feng also considered that this policy might cause a lot of dissatisfaction, coupled with the previous reuse of Kanto people, as well as the reversal of the case and the redetermination of the title, many Guanzhong people accumulated a lot of resentment, and if one is not good, it may really force people to rebel. However, Yi Feng felt that in fact, if they really reversed, it would be a good thing. For those who have never been able to change their minds and want to be a shareholder of the Great Sui, and are unwilling to accept only a little bit of dividends from the founding team and the management team, Yi Feng would like to solve it as soon as possible. If they don't rebel, the rotten meat can only be dragged on, and if they rebel, they can just dig up the rotten sores and rotten flesh. Although this seems to be ruthless and ruthless, from the perspective of the emperor who rules the world, of course, it is to pursue absolute control, just like the companies of later generations. If the founding team and management of a company have a large number of shares in the company, so that after several generations, the children and grandchildren of the founders may still be the chairman of the company, but the shares are already very small, maybe only twenty or thirty percent, once some ambitious and capable people start a rebellion, unite with other shareholders, and obtain their support, then the chairman may lose his position at any time and will eventually be driven out. Thinking that Yang Jian seized Zhou back then, wasn't this the case, and won the support of some old and important ministers such as Wei's, Li's, and Yu's, and suddenly turned over the Yuwen family's plate and seized the power of his family.

Yi Feng cleaned up the knighthood before, redefined the title, divided the frontier for the clan, and cut off the original indiscriminate titles, which was actually regaining control and buying back shares. For the founding team and their descendants, as well as those management, as well as excellent employees, the common practice of later companies is to give dry shares, rather than directly giving away the company's shares. Every time a share is given, the company's CEO has a one-point reduction in his control over the company. When the 50 percent line is crossed, it is quite dangerous. If there are only twenty or thirty left, the possibility of being usurped is exponentially increased. Although with Yi Feng's control, with his descendants, he may not be fine if he doesn't clean up those Guanlong nobles in his generation, but he has to think about whether the heir of the empire can have the same skills as him in the future. And at that time, his son held on, but when it came to his grandson, he kept dividing the seals, and finally the gate valve government reappeared, and the emperor would be hollowed out by these gate valves below. Centralizing power and suppressing gate valves is what the great unified dynasties have always done. Yi Feng just relied on the strength in his hands to be more radical in a controllable situation.

Cruel, indeed cruel, but not to be done.

The relocation of wealthy households was also a way for the rulers of successive dynasties to deal with the people who conquered and occupied the enemy areas, and to move those elites and those large wealthy families away from their original places, from the places where they had great control over them, to a new place, and disrupt the resettlement, then their old relationship network would be broken, and their ability to resist the imperial court would be greatly reduced. After the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi, the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Yecheng, was demolished, and many nobles were moved to Guanzhong. Later, after the pacification of the Sui Dynasty and the Southern Chen, the capital of the Southern Chen, Jiankang City, was directly moved to the flat land, and then the royal family of the Chen Dynasty and many noble officials and families of the Southern Chen, as well as many large and wealthy families of Jiankang, were moved to Chang'an.

Now, Yi Feng is also going to make this move.

It was a devastating blow to the Guanlong clique, which greatly weakened their political strength and no longer threatened the imperial power.

"Closely monitor those wealthy families, especially Shi Wansui, Liu Shu, He Ruobi, and other people who have long been resentful of the imperial court, and any wind and grass must be controlled in time."

In the Ganlu Palace, Yi Feng was splashing ink, copying the true handiwork of his newly obtained Lan Tingxu of Wang Youjun.

Liu Ying stood respectfully in front of Yi Feng's bookcase, helping the emperor polish ink. This orchid pavilion preface, he got it from the descendants of Wang Youjun, originally in the hands of a monk who was good at calligraphy, he took a lot of effort to get it, and after giving it to the emperor, it really got a lot of praise. However, when the emperor praised him, he especially praised him for a few words of good method of obtaining calligraphy, which was not strong, but an exchange that satisfied the monk. This made Liu Ying understand that although he was the emperor's first eagle dog, there were also Statistics Department and Military Intelligence Department in addition to the Special Service Department, and the three departments supervised each other. Just as the secret service department under his command has placed eyeliner spies in the mansions of hundreds of officials, Liu Ying doesn't know which people around him are secret spies of the other two divisions. But judging by his professional vision, there will definitely be many, more than one or two. The emperor stays in the deep palace, but he can still know the big and small things that happen outside every day. It is said that in the palace, there is also a secret agency responsible for compiling statistics and analyzing all kinds of information submitted by these supervision courts, which is said to be composed of eunuchs and palace ladies, but this is just a rumor, but he has never received any accurate information. Although he has always been curious in his heart, Liu Ying did not dare to snoop into this secret at all.

"Jin Wuwei will cooperate with you, once you find a movement, don't rush to startle the snake, keep an eye on it, wait for them to make further moves, and when they jump up, beat him down with a stick. For these people, the evidence must be conclusive, and if they want to be beaten, they must be beaten to death with a stick. Yi Feng confessed. There is never any sympathy in the struggle for power, and there is no cruelty or cruelty, as is the case, if you don't be the one who succeeds, then you are a loser, and the loser will have nothing.
