Chapter 176: A glass of wine releases military power

What shocked the two of them was that the officials of the various states and provinces came all the way, and after attending a palace banquet, they actually resigned one after another.

It's really... It is both reasonable and unexpected.

After Zhao Gao wrote the holy decree, Zhao Changqing took out the jade seal of the country and covered it.

The former held the holy decree in both hands, left the Daming Palace, and went to read the holy decree.

Next, Zhuge Liang recited the recital.

After a while, Cao Shen, Xiao Yuming, and Chen Qingzhi asked to see each other.

Zhao Changqing frowned, poked his head out of the hall, and asked Zhuge Liang, "The three of them came to see me together, what do you guess it is for?"

Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart and thought, "Your Majesty is not even at ease with me, a civil servant? Or do you think that I am famous in the army for the word military advisor, and Your Majesty is not worried about my prestige in the army?"

I wanted to think about it, but the expression on my face didn't show too much, and he still said with a calm and breezy appearance: "Why didn't Your Majesty summon a few of him in and ask him face to face?"

Zhao Changqing shook his head, feeling that Zhuge Liang was really boring, and he said to a eunuch beside him, "Announce them in." ”

Subsequently, the three of them walked into the Daming Palace together.

At this time, Mi Yue knew that Zhao Changqing was dealing with political affairs, so she hid in one place very interestingly.

A woman's greatest gentleness has always been sensible, commonly known as sensible.

The three of them bowed to Zhao Changqing and said, "Wait for your majesty!"

Zhao Changqing nodded and said, "Get up." The three of you are here today, but what's the big deal?"

The three of you look at me, I look at you, and they don't know how to speak for a while.

Seeing this, Zhao Changqing frowned and said: "What's the matter? Cao Shen, it's up to you, you are the eldest, and you are the general, you can be described as a high and powerful person, and you are above 10,000 people in the entire Great Wei Kingdom." ”

What he said made Cao Shen's heart palpitate!

He hurriedly said again: "Your Majesty is under ten thousand people, minister... It is enough to be a pawn under His Majesty's command. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled: "Okay, let's talk less, let's talk, what's the matter?"

Cao Shen said: "Back to Your Majesty, the three of us have thought twice, and we are determined to return the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army, the Armed Guards, and the Cavalry Guards to Your Majesty. ”

The halberd soldier Fu under the command of Jian Yi has always been in Zhao Changqing's hands, and Zhao Yun and Jian Er are both handling affairs outside the capital, and they don't know what happened in the capital yet.

After Cao Shen finished speaking, Zhuge Liang glanced at the three of them behind Zhao Changqing, showing a pleased smile.

In fact, the soldier is not a soldier, it is just a formality.

Because in the current army, Zhao Changqing is the soul of the army and faith.

Seeing Cao Shen and the others arching their hands on the military talisman, Zhao Changqing was taken aback and said, "Are the three of you sick? Don't you know how many of the courtiers of the Great Wei State want the military power in your hands?"

Take the initiative to hand over the military power in your hands, you are really the first since the founding of this dynasty!"

The three of them only felt that this was just a polite prevarication on the part of His Majesty, because they felt that Zhao Changqing's tone was very relaxed, and he was not as angry as last night, which showed that His Majesty still wanted to take away his military power.

Cao Shen opened his mouth again: "The army of Great Wei should only belong to Your Majesty, and this military talisman should be controlled by Your Majesty. ”

Zhao Changqing said: "You are not confused, are you? The talisman in your hand is a symbol of power. I'm so big, I've never seen a courtier who doesn't want power. ”

Zhao Changqing really couldn't figure it out, why did he hand over the talisman?

However, Cao Shen thought that this was the opposite of His Majesty's words, intended to test himself and others.

So he said again: "Your Majesty, don't persuade me anymore, I will wait until my mind has been decided, and this talisman will be returned to Your Majesty. ”

The three of them placed the talisman on a desk in the hall and then retired.

Zhao Changqing nodded confusedly.

He is indeed very confused, there are strange things every day, and there are many of them today.

First of all, those feudal officials didn't want to be officials, and then they handed over the military talismans, this is really...

Unheard.

Forget it, that's it!

I don't bother to guess.

Zhuge Liang has not left yet, and now all the officials of the state and highway have resigned, so they have to arrange it quickly, otherwise it is not a long-term solution for a state and highway to sit in the town.

He asked Zhao Changqing: "Your Majesty, at present, there is a shortage in the positions of the envoys of each section and the chief of the marching army, and the vacancies should be filled as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary troubles!"

Zhao Changqing said: "What do you think?"

He had already thought very thoroughly in his heart anyway, Zhuge Liang was a top strategist in the Three Kingdoms, and he was a prime minister who was recorded by the history books at no expense, and 80% of his suggestions were correct.

Since there is a high probability that it is correct, then whatever he says, he will do the opposite.

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said: "There are two methods, one is that after Enke, there are more talents in the court, so it is naturally easy to arrange, but the scholars who have just passed the imperial examination are difficult to use, so it is really the next policy."

Second, select the right candidates among the civil and military officials. However, most of the current civil and military officials have family backgrounds, which is not conducive to His Majesty's centralization of power. In addition, you can only choose from the state roads that can be used. ”

Zhao Changqing replied: "Don't be so troublesome, the generals who fought with us to Chang'an at the beginning are all famous generals, and it is not overkill to let them govern the place." ”

The ghost is overkill.

They are all soldiers, how can they become feudal officials?

When Xiao Yuming served as the envoy of Jiangnan Province, it was a special gift from Emperor Renzong!

Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed! They are all generals, once they sit in the local area and serve as the feudal officials, I am afraid that there will inevitably be a disaster of separating the feudal towns in the future!"

Zhao Changqing sneered: "Do you think those literati won't? They are all human beings, what kind of literati and martial artists are there? This matter is settled, and there is no need to discuss it again." ”

Hearing such a tough and decisive voice from the emperor, Zhuge Liang was also helpless, so he could only speak: "It's Your Majesty, Weichen obeys the order." ”

All kinds of things that happened in Daming Palace today quickly spread throughout the court and the market, causing everyone to speculate.

But no matter how they say it, they can't avoid a sentence like "Your Majesty's methods shake the past and the present".

And the storyteller also spread this matter widely, and over time, it was called "a glass of wine to release military power".

This is even recorded in the history books.

The news that the feudal officials asked the emperor to hint at his resignation also spread throughout the state roads.

The people of the Great Wei Kingdom felt that they had seen a bright future, because they had been exploited by those feudal officials for too long.

And this time, Your Majesty was able to let them resign on their own initiative, which means that Your Majesty today is a wise king!
