Zong Xin said: "In fact, the matter is very simple, since the demise of the Tang Dynasty, this unreasonable system has always existed and has been used to this day. ”

"What system?"

"The power of the envoy is too great. Tianya said: "If the local Jiedu envoys only have the current 10% of the troops, and the other forces are all controlled by the father, there will be no embarrassment like today." There is no problem with this official position, and it is also appropriate for the festival envoy to have military power, but many of the jiedu envoys are not on the front line, and they have these military powers to consolidate their own strength, not to protect their families and defend the country. ”

The demon nodded and said, "Oh~ I understand." Then why didn't your father cut all the military power of the Jiedu envoy?"

Fan Zhi said: "Your Majesty rules the world with benevolence and righteousness, and Your Majesty's country was originally able to board the plane and become the emperor with the help of the troops of these Jiedu envoys, who can pull this face and take revenge?"

Dou Yi said: "And this matter is not as simple as imagined, if Jie Du makes him feel that his power is threatened, he may rebel collectively." If you want to reduce the military power of the Jiedu envoys, you must not only have enough good reasons, but also have strong enough strength to not be afraid of these Jiedu envoys rebelling. There will always be opportunities, but this thing needs to be done step by step. ”

The demon feels that his IQ is not online, how can everyone understand, as if only he doesn't understand? But it seems that Ning An and Lei Fang don't understand it very well, and sure enough, it is these old men who are fighting for the world, among the people present, only Dugu Xingyue's expression is not surprised, and she also understands the stakes.

The demon didn't want the men to be so arrogant, so he looked at Dugu Xingyue, the demon always thought that she was very smart, so she let the woman get involved.

"Sister Xingyue, do you have any good ideas?"

Dugu Xingyue shook her head and said: "There is no way for this group of big men, what can I say as a woman? Not to mention that this matter must be done by a slut, and it is a shameless slut." ”

Dugu Xingyue also had insight into Zong Xin's thoughts, and she knew why Zong Xin chose Zhao Kuangyin, just because he was cheap enough. However, Dugu Xingyue also reminded the demons, because their first reaction when they talked about sluts was Zhao Kuangyin, and there was no one else but him.

"Makes sense, makes sense. Dou Yi said with a smile: "This matter must be done by a slut, no wonder our Majesty can't do it, because Your Majesty is kind-hearted, I hope other people can be less selfish and don't cause too much trouble to Your Majesty." Sure enough, the festival envoys in various places are not a good thing. ”

Guo Wei does not have the so-called benevolence of women, but he can't do anything to people who have not made mistakes. In Guo Wei's eyes, as long as he doesn't act as a traitor and bends the law for bribes, Guo Wei will not embarrass this person. In the public family, it must be good to practice, and as long as the official does not do evil, he is a good person, because it is too simple for the official to embarrass the people.

Therefore, Guo Wei has not developed the military, but has continued to develop the economy, because Guo Wei knew that he could not do this matter, so he left this matter to Chai Rong to do. Only by doing this matter well can Da Zhou continue to develop, otherwise everything will be in vain, and now Guo Wei is just saving money for Chai Rong, so that Chai Rong will not worry about money in the future.

Being an emperor also has the difficulty of being an emperor, in fact, there are no real fools in this world, and the people who destroyed the old dynasty and established the new dynasty from the Tang Dynasty are all official positions, that is, the festival envoy. As long as he sees the opportunity to rebel, and other Jiedu envoys maintain a wait-and-see attitude, so they will let the Jiedu envoys frequently succeed.

If this situation continues, the Central Plains will never be unified, so it is necessary to reduce the military power of the Jiedu envoys, and the number of Jiedu envoys at all levels must be specified, and this number is far less than the current number, only in this way can the Jiangshan Antai, and only the people of Jiangshan Antai have a good life.

Fan Zhen said embarrassedly: "I am also the envoy of the festival, the envoy of the loyal army, don't forget me." ”

"Didn't say anything about you. ”

Just like Fan Zhen, there are too many XX military envoys, although the troops in their hands are not to be feared, and Fan Zhen only has about 3,000 troops in his hands, which is nothing for the entire Great Zhou. But if there are ten Fan Zhi such festival envoys, that is 30,000 troops, and XX military festival envoys like Fan Zhen are no less than 100 in the Great Zhou...... That is to say, there are 300,000 troops planted in various places, but these Jiedu envoys are unwilling to share these troops under the pretext of protecting the safety of one side, because the strength of troops is the lifeblood of a Jiedu envoy.

This kind of festival envoy is also subject to the direct jurisdiction of the regional festival envoy, such as the Hedong festival envoy and the Hexi festival envoy...... Such. This kind of person has jurisdiction over more than a dozen jiedu envoys, and with his own troops, he has tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops, which is too dangerous for the imperial power. If you don't agree with each other, you will rebel, and the number of troops of more than 100,000 will be enough to shake the entire Great Zhou.

Zong Xin and Dou Yi chatted and became friends, Dou Yi is not only smart but also knowledgeable, courageous, regardless of personal gains and losses, the most important thing is that he is loyal and patriotic, he believes that Guo Wei can bring peace to the world. The reason is very simple, because Guo Wei's son-in-law is Zong Xin......

Soon, the group was full of food and drink, Dou Yi staggered home, he was really happy so he drank too much, Fan Zhen also deliberately sent two subordinates to follow Dou Yi, if he fell halfway, just carry him home.

That night, Zong Xin changed into a monk's robe and robe, and then explained to Dugu Xingyue, asking them not to follow him and go to Xuzhou not far away.

It was only ten miles from this small city to Xuzhou City, and Zongxin's light skills were extremely high, and he soon rushed to the outside of the gate of Xuzhou City. At night, a brightly dressed little monk suddenly appeared below the city gate, and everyone was vigilant.

The guard asked, "Where did the person come from, report the name?" ”

All the archers pull the bow and buckle Hong, as long as the guard gives an order, immediately release the arrow to pierce the monk's heart with ten thousand arrows. At this time, Xuzhou has been completely occupied by Murong Yanchao, and everyone knows that Xuzhou is a place of right and wrong, and no one will even enter the city during the day, if it wasn't for Murong Yanchao to stop him, the people here would have all fled out of the city.

Zong Xin used his true qi, and suddenly his whole body was bathed in fire, lighting up the night sky. The archers who were far away at the battlements of the castle tower could feel a wave of heat coming towards them, and they couldn't stand this sudden stimulus, so all the archers released their arrows. This time, Zong Xin didn't need to dodge at all, nor did he need to protect his body's true qi, and the bow and arrow couldn't reach Zong Xin's front at all, and he was directly turned into scorched earth.

Zong Xin secretly used his internal strength, and then said in a loud voice: "Amitabha, good and good, the poor monk is called Zongxin, call out Murong Yanchao's grandson." ”

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, after hearing the name Zong, everyone was frightened. Immediately sent someone to call Murong Yanchao, and after receiving the letter, Murong Yanchao ran faster than anyone else, and came directly under the battlement of the city tower. Murong Yanchao is still very confident in his martial arts, but after seeing Zong Xin's whole body on fire, he felt that things were not good, Zong Xin had already learned the Jiuyang Burning Heaven Technique, and in the face of a person who learned the Jiuyang Burning Heaven Technique, no one knew who would win and who would lose.

"Zongxin~!" Murong Yanchao gritted his teeth and said: "You shameless monk, you are really worthy of the trust that the first emperor Liu Chengyou placed in you." If it weren't for you, how could Guo Wei ascend the throne and become emperor? You even dare to appear in front of me? I don't know whether to live or die. ”

Zong Xin said: "Who is who is and everyone is as clear as a mirror, why bother with words? I just want to ask you one thing, did you really collude with Li Jing to prepare a counterattack on the Great Zhou?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you, that's it. Murong Yanchao said: "Don't think that I don't know how many soldiers Guo Wei has in his hands, I and my eldest brother Liu Chongbing released their previous suspicions, attacked back and forth, and Guo Wei was dead." Even if you cede half of the country, you must take back my Liu family. ”

Zong Xin chuckled: "Good, good, well done." You really don't cry when you don't see the coffin, do you remember the poor monk's comments to you? How did you die?"

How could Murong Yanchao forget this kind of thing? Zong Xin once said that he died of cold and starvation. Murong Yanchao didn't dare not believe it, if it turned cold today, but after all, it would not be too cold in the southern winter, and he had a lot of food in his army, most of which was funded by Li Jing, so it was impossible to starve to death.

"You said that I died of cold and starvation. ”

Zong Xin smiled: "Just remember, the poor monk wants to make sure if you remember this matter, let's see you on the battlefield." ”

After saying that, Zong Xin turned around and left. Murong Yanchao breathed a sigh of relief and didn't rush down to fight with Zong Xin, because Zong Xin was a ...... It's hard to say. Now is the critical moment, you must not be righteous, even if you hate him to death, but Zong Xin is too strange.

Murong Yanchao is still very afraid of Zong Xin, Zong Xin's ability is too great, and now that he has learned the Jiuyang Burning Heaven Technique, if he rushes down and loses both, Li Jing may not be able to give this face. Don't miss the opportunity, if you can't form a flank attack on Guo Wei, you may not be able to destroy the Great Zhou.

Murong Yanchao still didn't understand, why did Zong Xin come over? Ask a few words and leave? It is impossible for someone like Zong Xin to do such a thing for no reason, is it ...... Is it impossible, absolutely impossible, borrowing troops from Li Jing to echo Liu Chong, at this time Guo Wei's troops are not strong, he can't take care of the two-sided attack, not to mention that Weizhou and Xuzhou are too far apart, Guo Wei's troops can't take care of the left and right.

Murong Yanchao firmly believed that this time he would win, Guo Wei's little force needed to send half of his troops to Weizhou and the other half to Xuzhou, but there was only one result, both sides collapsed at the same time, and they were attacked from the left and right, and finally the army was defeated like a mountain, and directly attacked Kaifeng.

Of course, there is another possibility. Guo Wei led all his troops to march in person, first repulsing one side and then attacking the other. But the distance between Weizhou and Xuzhou is so far away, and he has just repelled one side, how can Guo Wei have the strength to start a war with the other side, so no matter how Guo Wei deploys, he will definitely be defeated.
