395, reorganize the Snow Shame Army (middle)
Jingwen returned home, but Liu Renliang came to Jingwen's house, obviously there was something to tell Jingwen. And seeing that Liu Renliang was mysterious and secretive, Jingwen couldn't discuss it in front of his own woman, so he directly took Liu Renliang to the inner room to discuss.
"Marshal, shouldn't you go and tell the emperor to return the military power to the emperor!" Liu Renliang asked.
"How do you return it?" Jingwen asked.
Liu Renliang explained: "According to the rules of the past, after the generals set out for the battle, the emperor issued military talismans, symbolizing the military power granted by the emperor. And after the general marshal returns from the expedition, he must hand over the military talisman to the emperor, which means that the general marshal will hand over the military power to the emperor. And General Li Jing is the same, he handed back the military talisman to the emperor, that is, it means that he handed over the military power to the emperor. However, the festival commander doesn't seem to have this process! ”
"I don't have a talisman, how can I return it?" Jingwen asked.
Liu Renliang immediately began to explain to Jingwen: "Do you know? Our Snow Shame Army is very special, and every qiē is required by the standard of the handsome you. And your prestige in the Snow Shame Army is very great, it's just a matter of saying it. So, do you say that the emperor can rest assured? An army has been in the hands of its subordinates for a long time, and the imperial court cannot have much influence, so do you say that the imperial court can rest assured? So, you are in danger, you are going to become a warlord! ”
Liu Renliang deliberately said things very strictly, anyway, it was to have a certain intimidating nature. If he didn't intimidate, Jing Wen might not be able to know the severity of this matter, so Liu Renliang had to intimidate Jing Wen, otherwise he would not be able to complete the task given to him by the emperor.
"What? I became a warlord? I didn't even think about becoming a warlord! Jingwen said.
Liu Renliang immediately explained: "Yes! You didn't think about becoming a warlord, but it's just a coincidence. That's why the emperor didn't do anything to you! If you continue like this, I'm afraid you're really going to be in danger! With such a powerful army in control for a long time, do you say the emperor can rest assured? ”
Jingwen couldn't help but compare his heart to heart, if he was the emperor, he would not rest assured that his subordinates would control such a powerful army. But Jingwen didn't want to become a warlord. I didn't even think about rebellion. Rebellion, this also has to pay attention to timing. If you rebel at this time, it will not succeed, because the people will not just end a troubled era and immediately turn the world into a troubled world. Therefore, no matter who rebels at this time, it will be unpopular with the people. But now that he has inadvertently become a warlord, it is dangerous.
"So what should I do?" Jingwen asked.
"Marshal, it's better for you to hurry up and hand over the Snow Shame Army. In this way, the emperor's suspicion can be avoided. In this way, you can continue to enjoy your wealth in peace! Moreover, in this way, you represent the emperor's loyal minister, so that the emperor will also trust you! ”
"Also, if you keep holding on to this shameful army and don't let go, it will delay the future of the soldiers below. Because once you are suspicious of the emperor, the future of the soldiers below you will be slim. So, when the time comes, they will hate you too! If you hand over the military power, then the soldiers below will also be able to take advantage of the situation to be promoted, so that the soldiers will be grateful to you! When the time comes. As long as you give an order, can they not speak for you in the court? ”
Jingwen immediately pondered and said, "Isn't this the same as a warlord?" ”
"It's different! If you scatter your soldiers, they are still your cronies. But it means that the power is scattered. If you concentrate all your cronies in one army, it means that the military power is too concentrated, and you can completely control an army and rebel at any time. But if you scatter your cronies. Although they may still listen to you, but when the power is dispersed, there is no possibility of rebellion. And scattered out. At most, he is an army boss, but he is not a warlord. Liu Renliang explained.
Jingwen finally understood, it turned out that this was the reason for concentration and decentralization. If you disperse your cronies, although you are still a military boss, you will inevitably have to serve together with other people's subordinates, and such crossovers everywhere are easy for the emperor to use balanced means to control them. And once the strength is dispersed, it is impossible to rebel. And if you concentrate your cronies too much into one army, then I'm afraid that other people won't be able to penetrate the needle and the water won't be able to pour in, so can the emperor rest assured? The military boss represents a person's political power, just out of a certain collective to safeguard interests, this is not the emperor's bottom line, the emperor can tolerate a military boss. But the warlord, that is, represents a person's desire for supreme power, which is absolutely not allowed. Therefore, if Jingwen controls the Snow Shame Army for a long time, it will be very dangerous. In case Jingwen treats the Snow Shame Army as an "inheritance" for his descendants to inherit, then the emperor is miserable? The military bosses are different, the military bosses are just a political and powerful collective, but they can't directly and thoroughly control and inherit an army, so that the emperor can rest assured!
"Jie Shuai, you better hurry up and return the Snow Shame Army to the imperial court! In this way, the emperor will rest assured of you, and the brothers of the Snow Shame Army will also be promoted and rich because of this, which is also a good thing for them. In the future, if you need anything in the court, you can also help you say a few words. Therefore, it is essential to let the brothers disperse. If you keep worrying about the future of your brothers, the brothers will hate you for hindering their future, and the emperor will not worry about you. At that time, I'm afraid you really have to rebel against the army. So, for everyone's good, you better avoid suspicion! Liu Renliang said very politely.
Liu Renliang's words were already a little unkind, because if Jingwen was allowed to continue to control the Snow Shame Army, it would not be a good thing for anyone. And the officers of the Snow Shame Army can only continue to have a future if they jump out of this system. If they have been in the Snow Shame Army, it will be difficult for the officers below to be promoted, so they will not be cut off from the future? Therefore, in order to give everyone a future, it is necessary to let the Snow Shame Army "disintegrate" and disperse everyone to other armies, so that everyone can have a future. Although Jingwen still has a lot of influence on them, Jingwen has lost the capital to rebel, which is what reassures the emperor.
"Okay, then I'll go and ask the emperor tomorrow to reorganize the Snow Shame Army." Jingwen said. (To be continued......)
