Duan Jingyi was stunned, even he didn't expect Emperor Duan to suddenly ask this kind of question, and it seemed that Emperor Duan's face was not like a temptation, but still a little sincere, in this case, Duan Jingyi's answer should naturally be sincere, if the answer is too smooth, it will seem deep and unreliable.

Duan Jingyi pondered for a moment and said, "Erchen thinks that the strength of the imperial court should be scattered in the hands of a few people who can be trusted and have certain official positions, these people can be military attaches or civilian officials, in the final analysis, they are just helping the emperor to manage the troops, only your orders can call the army, so this official only needs to be loyal and capable and does not need any combat experience." ”

"That's right," Emperor Duan nodded, "Then how do you think the number of soldiers in the hands of these people should be controlled?" ”

"The total number of troops in the world is divided into two, half of which is in the hands of the emperor, and the other half is in the hands of the minister," Duan Jingyi is also a master of marching and fighting, and there is no need to think much about it, "The courtiers in the vicinity control the vast majority of the elite troops, and the courtiers in the distance control the ordinary troops of a small number of purposes, and the key border positions are garrisoned by the brave and warlike generals alone."

Emperor Duan thought so, he didn't expect that this son would have a high similarity with his own ideas, it seems that he has not cultivated Duan Jingyi in vain over the years, and he has really learned a good way to coordinate after fighting on the battlefield for many years.

And what satisfies Emperor Duan the most is that Duan Jingyi did not hide it at all, and directly revealed all his thoughts, you must know that there are many people who pretend to be smart in the court, but the higher the position, the more they like to pretend to be crazy and stupid.

Especially in the face of such a tricky question, if you don't answer well, it is easy to be suspected of whether you have the intention of arrogance, otherwise how can you think of the problem of army deployment, but the traces of these thoughts Emperor Duan did not see in Duan Jingyi, which proves that at least during the period just now, his son trusted himself and regarded himself as a father rather than a monarch.

In addition, there is no solemn palace here, and Su Zhi is sleeping peacefully in the bed again, which makes Emperor Duan suddenly feel a little family.

Emperor Duan let out a long breath, turned his hand and picked up the tea bowl on the table, raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you doing standing stupidly, sit down and talk." ”

Duan Jingyi complied, and saw Emperor Duan frowning slightly, looking at the tea leaves in the cup and blowing, and said, "Then how many troops do you think a prince should have?" ”

Duan Jingyi hesitated a little this time, he instantly thought that Emperor Duan had begun to guard against Duan Jingxun, and he wanted to cut off the troops in the hands of the princes, so that although there was no actual loss for Duan Jingyi, it was different for Duan Jingqi.

Duan Jingqi has been in charge of the economic capital Longdu, where the fish and dragons are mixed and are far from being so easy to take care of these years, and secretly Song Ming helps I don't know how much effort he has paid, although Duan Jingqi is also very diligent, after all, he is still too young, and he has never seen some tricky methods, so how can he crack it.

And the reason why he can still suppress Longdu is largely because Duan Jingqi is very favored, not to mention that he still has 100,000 military power in his hands, and with these two blessings, this young prince can be intimidated.

If Duan Jingqi's military power is suddenly removed now, people who don't know will definitely guess what Emperor Duan's move means, and even smarter people will naturally think about whether Emperor Duan is guarding against his sons, so at that time, some people who are used to seeing the wind and the rudder will naturally want to stand in line with Emperor Duan, and openly and secretly begin to stumble on the princes from all walks of life.

Duan Jingyi expected that no one would dare to touch him, first, he was famous, even if someone really wanted to do it secretly, he would have a secret defense to protect himself, and even if someone succeeded in pulling him off the horse, then what?

After being recalled to the imperial city, in addition to the military power, Duan Jingyi's substantive power in his hands was left to be in charge of the imperial capital, if even he dismounted, then who could be sure that Duan Jingyi could be in charge of this glorious city.

Similarly, there will not be many people who will attack Duan Jingxun, firstly, Duan Jingxun has a lot of hidden forces in the court, if there is really such a thing as taking back military power, they are afraid that they will be the first to rise up and attack others, and they are definitely not the kind of people who sit back and wait to be killed, in addition, Duan Jingxun has been greedy for a lot of money for so many years, as long as he wants to, then he can spend a lot of money to buy the person he likes.

So when the time comes, the first to receive the blow can only be Duan Jingqi and Duan Jingcheng.

But Duan Jingcheng doesn't have any absolute rights, and for so many years, everyone has openly and secretly looked down on his nest and incompetence, even if he does it, he won't get any benefits, but Duan Jingqi is different, what a big piece of fat Longdu is.

Emperor Duan saw that Duan Jingyi was silent for a long time and said, "What, I can't bear your 100,000 army?" ”

"That's not the case," Duan Jingyi hurriedly spoke, picking out his dislike for Longdu and saying it, he naturally just picked up the macro situation and talked about it, and did not involve Duan Jingqi himself, and at the end Duan Jingyi didn't forget to add a sentence with a deep meaning, "If Jingqi receives any influence, it will not be easy to find such an honest and dedicated person." ”

This is indeed what Emperor Duan is worried about, he waved his hand, it seems that this matter has to be planned slowly, he has the heart to take back the military power in the hands of the other three sons and keep Duan Jingqi alone, but how can this matter be done without leakage and logically?

Duan Jingyi noticed that Emperor Duan was a little hesitant, so he quickly turned his brain twice and said, "Father, the son has a way, but he can't think about it thoroughly, and he can only throw bricks and lead to jade when he says it." ”

Emperor Duan's eyes lit up, "But it's okay to say it." ”

"Since my father wants to take back the military power in the hands of the prince, he can take it back without any scruples, this is the overall arrangement of the imperial court, no one will say a word, the status of Kolongdu is really important, there must be heavy troops to suppress and escort it, why don't my father reward him with 100,000 troops in the name of Jingqi's wedding?"

After hearing this, Emperor Duan suddenly became enlightened, "Are you saying that Bi Jiamu married three cities and came over, and I can't be too shabby, and I want to use an army of 100,000 as a dowry?" ”

Duan Jingyi also pretended to wake up suddenly, "Father is wise! This 100,000 army is nominally a dowry, but the secret belonging of the soldier and the army all belong to Jingqi, if this happens, it will be really seamless! ”

Cong Yi looked at Duan Jingyi and Emperor Duan, who had profound acting skills, and snorted coldly, turned his back and muttered disdainfully, "The two of you don't have a good thing!" ”
