Chapter 232: The Ministers Respond
"Present it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "What exactly is a team exercise?" It has been more than 200 years since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, and not many people have remembered these things at the beginning of the founding of the country, and Li Gui is obviously not one of the few.
After taking the fold sent by Wang Jihe and looking at it carefully, Li Gui was a little unsure of the taste, so he asked Wei Shiliang to read the fold, and then asked, "What do you think of Aiqing?" ”
"Your Majesty, now that I have been defeated by Tang Kuo's department, hundreds of thousands of elite forbidden troops have been wiped out; In addition, in recent years, disasters have continued, and many cults have seized the opportunity to cause chaos, and I am afraid that the incident in the four prefectures in Hedong is only the beginning, and there are also cults in Shandong and Jianghuai that are secretly linked, and the trouble is only in the moment. The defenders of the state capitals have long since decayed, and I am afraid that they will not be able to cope with such a situation; The only way to do this is to convene the squires to organize group exercises. According to yesterday's arrangement, Hu Songnian, the governor of the political council, first came out to help, and said righteously, "I have been a scholar of Wei for more than 200 years, and now is the time for them to serve the country; The gentry are all people with outstanding prestige in various places, and they can help the local officials clean up the place when they come forward to organize regimental training, and they can restrain the villagers and exterminate the rebellious party. ”
"Your Majesty, the pension household department of the forbidden army in Beijing has long been unable to afford it, let alone raise military expenses to pacify the chaos everywhere; And Wang Shilang said that the court does not need to spend a penny, you can stabilize the Quartet, this is the way of the old Cheng to seek the country, Weichen agrees with Lord Hu's opinion, and should immediately prepare for this matter. "The head of the household department also came out to Wang Jihe to stand on the platform, my household department is now out of money, if you don't hold a group practice, you will wait for the world to be chaotic and smoke.
"Now that I am defeated, all the generals of the court have been lost, even if the forbidden army is rebuilt, I can't find so many generals with troops for a while; And if the regimental training is held, the imperial court can select talents from the regimental training to supplement the forbidden army as it did at the beginning of the founding of the country. "Yuan Rukui, the secretary of the military department, also took sick leave and appeared in the court, of course, another soldier of the military department suddenly took leave today, and there are always several important ministers in charge of the military in the court who are absent these days.
"According to Wang Shilang's meaning, my Great Wei has an additional way to select generals, which is a great good thing for the imperial court." This is a good way to take away military power from the hands of those nobles, Yuan Rukui is already considering that there are those children in the clan who know a little about military affairs, and can take the opportunity of Zhang Guo to lead the army to quell the rebellion to mix up a little military merit, and then he can take advantage of the situation to transfer them to the Beijing camp forbidden army, if you look at it from this point of view, it is not all bad if there is turmoil in the four prefectures of Hedong.
There are many officials from the family and the Hanmen family who have the same idea as the above-mentioned people, and they have come out to stand for Wang Jihe, even if there are occasional differences of opinion, they have arranged them in advance, just to attract more support.
Seeing that the people who came out to express their support were all from Yang Jiefu's family, Li Gui was a little worried, and moved his gaze to the ministers of Xungui's family, "Chang Huabo, what do you think of this matter?" ”
"At the beginning of the founding of the country, there was indeed a group training in the north, and there were also talented people in the group training who followed Taizu and Taizong to sweep Mobei and made meritorious contributions to the imperial court; It's just that now is not suitable for group training, the old minister is old, and he can't think about it clearly for a while. "Qian Sa hasn't gone back to Jiangnan yet, and he also appeared in the court today, but his words are the same as if he didn't say anything.
"Chang Huabo has been in charge of the canal for many years, and he knows that relying on the forbidden army along the canal will not be able to defend against so many thieves; The organization of group exercises can also keep the canal safe. "Now it is the most important thing to pass this matter, so Yuan Rukui didn't care about the contradiction between him and Xungui, and threw out the bait, "Can Chang Huabo also let his family set up a group practice in Jiangnan, and I am afraid that the safety of Jiangnan in the future will be entrusted to Chang Huabo." ”
Qian Sao stroked his beard and nodded, seemingly agreeing with Yuan Rukui's statement; Then Li Gui moved his gaze to Li You again, "Uncle Jiazhou, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Weichen remembered that in those years, only swords, guns, bows and arrows were allowed to be used in regimental training in various places, and it was strictly forbidden to purchase heavy weapons such as strong crossbows and armor, and it was limited to maintaining local peace, and it was not allowed to cross the border; If the group practice that Wang Shilang said is also like this, Weichen thinks that it is also feasible. Li You slowly expressed his opinion according to the results of the discussion with Yao Guangxiao.
There are no crossbows and armor, just cloth clothes, swords, guns, bows and arrows, and regimental training may be able to exterminate the rebels, but it cannot be the opponent of the forbidden army, so rest assured, Your Majesty, they will not pose a threat to your rule. But as for the future, there are many things that Da Wei has deceived and concealed, and he is not afraid of this one more.
With the two of them as an example, the other remnants of the nobles who wanted to refute swallowed their words back, thinking carefully about how much benefit their family could get from it; There are not many stupid people who can stand in the court, and they quickly figured out the reasons why the civil officials supported this matter, who doesn't like to expand the influence of their own family in the local area? As a result, they made a rare show of support for the policies proposed by the civilian department.
Li Gui's brows on the throne became tighter and tighter, and the civil and military ministers of the imperial court expressed their support for one thing at the same time, which was not a good thing, he once again remembered that Li You was sitting in a teahouse with the background of the palace of the king of Yu, and the prince of Taiping entered the palace to meet the queen mother; suddenly became vigilant in his heart, could it be that Li You and Yang Jiefu really got together?
"In that case, let's copy the world according to this purpose." Even though he was reluctant in his heart, since all the ministers expressed their support, he couldn't find a suitable excuse to refute it, so he could only agree to Wang Jihe's performance according to the wishes of the ministers.
"Your Majesty." There was a rare chorus of praise in the court, and the ministers were all happy and pondered the benefits that their families could get from this matter.
Li You can no longer be allowed to continue to grow in strength, Li You now only holds a command of soldiers and horses has a faint tendency to lead the younger generation of nobles, if he sticks to Weizhou a few days ago and returns to Beijing to fulfill the credit, he will at least be promoted to the third level, and then he will have more soldiers and horses in his hands, and he will be able to get it at that time?
No, since this person is involved with Yang Jiefu and others, he can't let him have more military power, he has to think of a way to take back the Zhenwei camp from him, and if he doesn't have military power, he doesn't have to be afraid of collusion with Yang Jiefu, after retiring from the court, Li Gui returned to the palace and secretly pondered.
But what is the solution? Li Gyu's fingers kept tapping on the table, and countless ideas flashed through his mind, but in the end, they were all rejected by him, and he never found a good way. (To be continued.) )
