Chapter 19: Patrol Politics and Horse War
(After sitting all night, I came out of the second watch and asked for a red ticket)
In May, it was already summer, and Feng Lijun commanded Ning Zechen, staff officer Song Shixing, Shouzhou prefect Meng Yi, Song Jia, and Liu Miaozhen to Sanghepu in the southern boundary of Shouzhou to meet Lin Bin.
Sanghe shop is a military base set up here by the Huaixi army in the early years, it is a military shop and a military fort, which is used to guard against the Huaidong garrison in Luzhou.
After obtaining Shouzhou, the Huaixi part south of Huaishui formed a whole with Luzhou and Dongyang, and the garrison of Sanghepu was naturally withdrawn and changed to a post station on the way from Chaodong to Shouzhou.
Out of the nest to the Sanghe shop, it was already night, Lin Lian and the others and the people who came from Shouzhou to greet each other, they temporarily stayed in the Sanghe shop.
As the night deepened, Ning Zechen, Song Shixing, and Meng Yi found an excuse to pull Gao Zongting, Sun Shangwang, Wang Chengfu and Zhou Pu, who escorted them, to leave early, without delaying Lin Lian's reunion with Liu Miaozhen and Song Jia.
In the minds of the Huaidong generals, Lin Jian had already replaced the Yongxing Emperor who was used as an ornament in the imperial city.
Although Lin Tie said that he was thrifty, in fact, because Lin Tie might stay temporarily, Sanhepu was temporarily repaired, and a post fort for Hu Rider to settle in Gongwei was also built on the periphery.
The work of guarding Lin Jian is already the top priority of Huaidong; In the case that Huaidong's strength has no way to be reversed, it is no longer unimaginable for the enemy to break through the bottom line and pin his hopes on the assassination.
Although the daily guards are still served by the forbidden camp cavalry, and Zhou Pu is the commander of the forbidden camp cavalry, his loyalty to Lin Jian will naturally not waver in the slightest, but he is good at the battlefield, not good at the struggle in the secret realm.
At the insistence of the Huaidong people, the Guogong Mansion set up a guard room and transferred Zhou Blind and the fourth lady Feng Peipei to be in charge of internal security and field service, instead of putting the burden on Zhou Pu.
The fourth lady was originally the eldest son and wife of Qin Chengzu, but was trapped by Chen Hansan, Qin Chengzu's eldest son Qin Xingwen died in battle during the breakout, and the fourth lady has been widowed to this day. When the old general of Sumen met Lin Lian, the fourth lady has been a personal guard by Su Mei's side, and after Su Mei married into Lin Men, the fourth lady has also been responsible for the internal house guard affairs.
Although Qin Chengzu did not restrict the four ladies to remarry others, the four ladies practiced martial arts since childhood, were strong and healthy, and although her appearance was above the middle, her status was already quite high in the later period. Ordinary men can't be worthy of her status, and her heart can't look down on ordinary men, and high-status men can marry beautiful wives and concubines everywhere, so why bother marrying a tigress and going home?
After returning to Jiangning after the Jingxiang War, Zhou Pu once got drunk and made a joke, coaxed everyone to pull the four ladies to test their martial arts in front of the banquet, and beat the four ladies to the ground. After this incident, Lin Lian and Qin Chengzu forcibly made the decision, promised the four ladies to Zhou Pu, and made up a marriage of an old widow and an old bachelor - Zhou Pu was originally a newlywed Yan'er, but he couldn't stand others making fun of him about it, and this time he insisted on leading a team to escort Lin Jian away from Jiangning to patrol the government.
Of course, the forbidden cavalry is under the command of Zhou Pu, and the real internal security work is still in charge of the accompanying blind Zhou Bin.
In the dead of night, Lin Jian told Song Jia and Liu Miaozhen the reason for the marriage between Zhou Pu and the fourth lady, and Song Jia smiled: "Don't look at your men's martial arts, but when you really go to the horse competition, Zhou Pu can't beat the four ladies, and you can't beat Miaozhen......"
"Miao Zhen is invincible in horse battles, but if I win her, why do I need to be on a horse?" Lin Lian looked at Liu Miaozhen, "How about a bed battle?" ”
"You're not ashamed!" Song Jia was thick-skinned enough, and when she heard Lin Lian's words, she almost fell off the table with laughter. {Please remember our website} Liu Miaozhen has the demeanor of a general, and can suppress tens of thousands of men in Huaiyang, but the words of the scoundrel called Lin Tie are as red as dye, and his face is buried on the table, but the slender neck that is exposed is red, delicate and unprovoked.
Song Jia didn't dare to blindly pick up Lin Bin's stubble, if he commented on Lin Bin's "weak horse war, weak bed war", maybe he would be a laughing stock in the inner house in the future, thinking about Fa'er to divert the topic, and asked Lin Bin: "How did you cause such a big storm in Jiangning this time for the establishment of a successor?" ”
Song Jiayi can't correct her name, and second, she has been by Lin Lian's side for all these years, and she really can't give birth; There are some things, Lin Lian is still a little estranged from Jun Xun and Liu Yue'er, and there is no way to tell them about the establishment of the heir, but he is more willing to tell Song Jia - among the wives and concubines, Liu Miaozhen is alone in Xuzhou, Lin Lian also feels indebted to her, and asks her and Song Jia to sit on the couch, so that he can hug him left and right, so unhappy, and said: "Liyan is just an introduction; You also know that what new system and new policy I want to implement now is that there is any resistance below, and it is okay to force it to carry it out. However, the new system must continue to take root. Manpower is sometimes poor, and since ancient times, it has been difficult for emperors to live long. I'm still strong, and I should have thirty or fifty years to live. Compared with the long history, thirty or fifty years is just a flick of a finger, and the new system is only two generations. I'm here, forcibly pressing my head to implement the new system, and even if the people below have a rebound, they can't bounce. But if I am gone, once the new system is repeated, there will be great turmoil, and there may even be a bloody storm, which is not what I want to see. Everyone is looking forward to the establishment of a new dynasty, is the new dynasty so easy to stand? Traditionally, why do you attach importance to the system of establishing heirs and reserves? Without him, the establishment of the prince involves the foundation of the inheritance of power, in the thousands of years of power and bloodshed to form a system of establishing a successor and establishing a long line, what is the main purpose, is to ensure that the power can be passed on in an orderly manner - you all read history, there is history, from the Spring and Autumn Period, more than 2,000 years, in addition to the change of dynasty, the bloody struggle for the authority of the kingdom, how many times has it not been around the matter of establishing a prince and establishing a prince? Whether it is a relative clan, a clan, or a foreign minister, which one of them has the merit of supporting the throne is almost equivalent to holding the highest power in addition to the monarch's power; And for its inheritance to be carried out in an orderly manner, in addition to establishing the prince, it has become extremely important to choose a teacher for the prince. Xin'er, Wu'er, and Rui'er have all reached the age of reading and literacy one after another. In fact, it has been mentioned many times that people have mentioned the matter of choosing a teacher, what is behind this, how can I not be vigilant at all? How can I not kill their arrogance? Of course, I can't complain about those who blow the wind, whether it is Lixin'er, Liwu'er, or Lirui'er, there will be people who are happy and some people who are sad. If I don't want you to get involved in this matter with wishful thinking, is that possible? And if you get involved in this matter, it will be complicated and it will be a headache......"
Lin Jian must abolish Yuan Yue and establish a new dynasty. Traditional brothers and sisters are family property, and they are still fighting for the blood, not to mention that in front of everyone is the throne of the new dynasty!
Liu Yue'er, Sister Su and Sun Wenwan all get along well on weekdays, but when it comes to whether their son can win the throne, the tigress's nature will come into play; Even if Liu Yue'er, Sister Su and Sun Wenwan can be peaceful, they will definitely not be able to get rid of the relatives and deeper power entanglements behind them.
A slander may not shake people, but thousands of times, all day long in the ears are slander, so how can people still hold on to their hearts?
Song Jia and Liu Miaozhen have no children at this time, so they can be detached, but if they think about it, if they have children, they must not be able to be so detached - especially Gu Junxun in the main room has no children, and the maternal power of the eldest son Lin Xin is pitifully weak, and he can fight for an emperor for his heirs, how many women in the world can hold it?
In fact, the issue of teacher selection was euphemistically mentioned by Lin Xin before he entered the school - the selection of teachers is actually directly related to the selection of teachers. If Lin Jian asked any of Cao Ziang, Gao Zongting and other important ministers to assign Lin Xin to teach homework, it would actually tie their future political status to Lin Xin.
Lin Lian can't complain that Liu Yue'er is ignorant, Liu Yue'er's temperament itself is weak, and it is also a tradition to choose a teacher for her son, Lin Lian did not allow it at that time, but insisted on running a public school, and sent Lin Zhengjun and Lin Xin to the public school to study, temporarily putting an end to their idea of choosing teachers for Lin Xin and Lin Zhengjun.
As the emperor gets closer and closer, and Liyan involves the continuation of the throne of the new dynasty, how can it not involve the thoughts of the inner house and related relatives? They didn't have the courage to come to Lin Tie to point out the rumors, but Lin Tie couldn't stop some people from running to the inner house to blow the wind......
"I also want to take the lead in making this fuss," Lin Jian sighed lightly, "I don't want the back house to be unpeaceful in the future!" You see, after I handed over the matter of the establishment of the heir to the council, no one has heard of the matter of selecting a teacher in the past few months......"
"You are also scaring people with this little ghost idea," Song Jia said, "After tossing for a long time, you have come up with a public government meeting, can the public government meeting make you have less headaches?" ”
"The Son of Peace is so good, but the sky will not always be peaceful. I am confident that I have some ability to govern the country, and I can still suppress a cadre of generals and ministers, and I can turn the world from chaos to rule. But what if a natural disaster* happens in the afterlife, and my children and grandchildren are a wine bag and a rice bag? Lin Jian said, "Traditionally, the royal family usually uses relatives, courtiers or clans to balance foreign ministers, but the consequences of relatives, courtiers and clans taking power are no less than half a point less than those of foreign ministers. In troubled times, the scourge is a hundred times more intense, and the world is perishable - therefore, I do not establish a clan, a courtier, or a clan to check and balance foreign ministers. However, I don't want the Privy Council and the Military Staff to have powerful ministers and commanders cut off the heads of my children and grandchildren in the future, what should I do? The only way is to decentralize the power of the prime minister and not concentrate it in the hands of a few people, and this is why there is such a public council! With a council to balance the various aspects of the relationship, the power struggle will be less destructive. Those relatives, clansmen, and ministers, want to fight for the lineage, want to fight for the phase, and want to be knighted, okay, I'll let them all go to the public council to fight for it, there is no need to hide behind the cold guns and arrows to kill and shoot, so that people can't guard against it! Let them fight in the circle of the public council for thirty or fifty years, and when they get used to it, they will be content with this mode of disposition if they have the advantage of not expanding the struggle. ”
In fact, it can be said that it is the predecessor of the public council, but the power of the political hall is limited to the ministers. Once the prime ministers are divided into one higher (which is also a source of party struggle in the middle and late Yuan and Yue periods), the power is concentrated in one person, and there is a situation of excessive expansion of the power of the prime ministers. At this time, the royal family used relatives, clans or eunuchs to suppress the power of the minister, thus exposing other serious drawbacks - Lin Jian actually wanted to split the government hall into a public council and a privy council.
Accepting representatives of clans, relatives and various forces into the council to discuss and decide on new systems and new policies that have never been seen before, and the Privy Council is responsible for implementation, which can well balance the relationship between all parties.
Maybe after the creation of the new dynasty, Lin Jian will also make someone out of the Privy Council, actually holding the position of the prime minister, but because there is only the right to execute, and no power to decide, the power will be effectively limited, so as not to fundamentally endanger the monarchy - of course, the public council is actually one of the phases of the situation, naturally will not like too strong monarchs to ascend the throne, Lin Tie will lose the system of the heir to the public council, in fact, it will also greatly reduce the battle between the families around the establishment of the heir and the establishment of the prince.
"It's good that your method is good, I'm afraid that you will hurt Xiaozheng Jun in the future!" Liu Miaozhen said.
Liu Miaozhen is used to fighting on the battlefield, and she can't get along with Gu Junxun, Liu Yue'er and other female dependents, sometimes Lin Jian reunites his wife and concubines, but Liu Miaozhen gets along with Xiao Zhengjun the most.
Lin Lianli's original intention was to take the lead and suppress all aspects, but then bargained and implemented the system of the public council, but Xiao Zhengjun has been pushed to the forefront since then. Xiao Zhengjun She is still young at this time, and when she is a little older, the Lin family and Huaidong are important ministers, and they will inevitably keep an eye on Xiao Zhengjun's marriage, so that she cannot become a factor that interferes with the inheritance of the imperial system, in the final analysis, she is still afraid that Lin Zheng will have another whim......
Lin Lian laughed and said, "Who said I can't set up a queen?" ”
"Ah, are you planning to establish a new dynasty and then seal the foreign domain?" Song Jia is the most active, and she can hear the difference between the empress and the queen.
Lin Lian nodded and said: "The Central Plains will not split the soil, and the unification and centralization of power must be guaranteed, but it will be difficult for the center to directly control the overseas land, and it may be possible to implement the feudal system; Zhengjun, my heart and liver, how could I be willing to hurt her? I also wanted to give Jun Xun a wake-up call to them, so I put these plans aside and didn't tell them in detail...... Think about it, I'm going to give you a cold face, and it will be over in a few days; If you sisters give a cold face and a small heart, I'm afraid you will have to remember it for a lifetime. ”
"If you are angry, we women are small-minded?" Song Jia said unconvinced, but pinched Lin Lian's waist, and he couldn't stiffen his bones because of the pain.
Liu Miaozhen hadn't thought about the overseas feudal domain, but if she thought about it, didn't Huaidong start by forcibly opening the trade gates of the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo?
Now in Haedong, the Jeju and Dongju Governor's Offices are directly under the jurisdiction of Gangning, which is regarded as an enclave with a central center in Haedong; It is also the bridgehead and base for Jiangning's trade penetration into Haidong.
The South Seas, on the other hand, have a wider land, and if Jiangning wants to penetrate and expand trade in the South Seas, it is not enough to send merchant ships to trade there. Once Jiangning's trade penetration and expansion plundered more local resources and wealth than it could bear, it would inevitably encounter strong resistance, so Jiangning would need to use force to open the door to trade, and it would inevitably have to directly occupy a piece of land in the Nanyang port area to build a city and station troops and officials like Jeju City.
In the future, for the administration of overseas territories, Lin Jian considered adopting a combination of the governor's palace and the feudal palace, with the governor dispatched by the central government and the overseas feudal prince's palace hereditary.
Lin Jian sighed again and said: "It may be a bit big to set up a female vassal king to come out, but if you set up a female prince and a female uncle overseas, the council will never really compete with me for this!" ”
Song Jia laughed and said, "You are also a fool's heart; Liyan involves the continuation of the new dynasty, everyone will not allow you to mess around, besides, if you mess around, who will stop you? Besides, others may want you to seal your daughter overseas--if you seal your daughter abroad, and then accept the villagers as your son-in-law, it will be beneficial to establish a vassal overseas. ”
"Speaking of allowing me to, you stay with Miaozhen?" Lin Jian asked with a shy face.
"Go," Song Jia glanced at Lin Jian angrily, and said, "You first put this bed battle weakly and then talk ......about it" Liu Miaozhen heard Song Jia say this again, and she was so ashamed that she didn't even have the strength to get up, and she really responded to the words of "the horse is invincible, and the bed battle is weak".
