If you want to divide people into two categories, there are many ways to classify them. There are men and women, which can also be said to be good people and bad people, and, more directly and superficially, they can be divided into good-looking people and bad-looking people... …
But for the people within the palace walls, they only have one way of dividing the world:
People inside the palace, people outside the palace.
Eunuchs and maids actually have their own lives. They are not as fearful as outsiders imagine, but they are still more cautious than people outside. .
There are many rules in the palace. If there are too many rules, people will easily become captive quails.
Sometimes, talking loudly and running around is a sin.
But there are exceptions to everything, that is, when the news of Wangjiang's victory came to the palace, the eunuchs and maids began to cheer and pass on this exciting news.
They are actually dogs raised in heaven, but dogs always know how to understand their owners' thoughts and know when it is appropriate to act coquettishly and make a fuss. At that time, their owners will not think you are noisy, but will think you are cute.
In fact, the prince felt that he, like them, lived here, seemingly well-dressed and well-fed, but he was nothing more than a dog under his father's feet.
Both,
It depends on performance.
His Royal Highness led his entourage directly to the royal study. Since the news had been known to the eunuchs and maids in the palace, it was obvious that his father must also know.
Of course he did not report it, nor did he go out of his way to report the good news, but as the crown prince of a country, he should be present when such a big thing happens.
Being your father’s prince is much easier than most princes in history.
Because his father often lacks the human touch that belongs to his father. The human touch here actually includes "jealousy" and "warning" of all the dark emotions that an emperor should have towards his heir. .
However, his father was too majestic, so in front of him, the prince would always feel a pressure rolling down like a mountain.
Obviously I have entered the East Palace, but I still feel that it is just the brilliance of a firefly.
"Hey, Your Highness, you are here."
"Eunuch Wei."
"Your Majesty is discussing matters with several ministers. Your Highness, you are here." Please."
At this time, it is normal for the prince to enter. Wei Zhonghe can become the number one eunuch, and he has some foresight. If he needs to ask the master for everything, the master It will definitely be annoying.
The prince walked into the imperial study, and a group of ministers headed by Zhao Jiulang saluted the prince.
The prince took half a step back and half-bowed in return.
Emperor Yan nodded and said:
"Give me a seat."
"Thank you, Father."
After everyone sat down again ,Zhao Jiulang looked at the prince, then stood up and continued:
"Your Majesty, since the victory at Wangjiang is now great, the war should be fast."
At this time, Hu Xu Guanghuai, the Minister of the Ministry of War, asked: "Aren't there still people from Chu?"
Hearing this, Zhao Jiulang did not answer in a hurry, but looked at the new Minister of War, Mao Mingcai, who was present.
Mao Mingcai said:
"Mr. Xu didn't know something. Looking at the river, the barbarians were outside, and the Chu army was stationed in Yupan City. The power of holding the horns has been able to resist our Great Yan Heavenly Master for so long.
Now that the barbarians have been greatly defeated, the power of holding the horns along the Wangjiang River has obviously been broken. Those tens of thousands of greens. Even if the Luan Army can continue to guard Yupan City, it will be difficult for them to make any waves."
Xu Guanghuai immediately nodded and said, "I understand, thank you for your advice."
Mao Mingcai immediately responded: "Xu Lao's words are serious."
The atmosphere in the Yan Kingdom's court is still very good, because His Majesty leads by example and will not dictate to the frontline generals, so these of his subordinates Ministers do not all think that they are a jack of all trades, but they still understand that there is a specialization in a profession.
Emperor Yan said:
"When using troops without a mirror, they always do not move, and when they move, they use thunder to sweep away the fallen leaves. Since the main force of the savages was defeated in the Battle of Wangjiang, next, The battle in the Three Jin Lands should be over soon."
As soon as he finished speaking,
all the ministers and the prince stood up together:
"I am waiting. My son) congratulations to the great Yan, and congratulations to your majesty (father)!”
“Everyone, sit down. Now, it’s almost time to discuss how to properly deal with the three Jin lands. The territory must be in your own hands."
"Your Majesty, I am not familiar with military matters, but I still feel that after this battle in Jin Dynasty, I should rest with the people."< /p>
The Minister of Hubu is in charge of the money and grain direction of Dayan. Naturally, it is clear that after several wars in the past few years, the imperial treasury is already somewhat stretched.
Not to mention fighting, it is just the daily deployment of troops. As long as the scale is tens of thousands, the money and food allocated for the deployment is a large amount.
In the past few years, Dayan has mobilized a lot of troops, including one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand or even more than three hundred thousand troops.
Even if the horse steps on the door and the national treasury is suddenly filled, the country's money and food cannot be created in this way.
People who are in charge of finance never like to sit back and eat nothing, but prefer a steady flow of water.
Although the Zhenbei Hou Mansion took the initiative to hand over half of the Zhenbei Army, the imperial court also moved the forbidden army there. At the same time, the money and food that needed to be supplied to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion each year was actually still one cent. There are many children.
The taxation and development of the Jin region are still being laid out. The three Jin regions have experienced too many wars in the past few years. We want to obtain enough supplies and supplements from them to support the country. , for the time being, it’s not quiteReality.
Of course Xu Guanghuai knows that talking about "rest and recuperation" to His Majesty is definitely a very unpleasant job, but there is no other way. As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, this is what he must and should do. thing.
The Emperor Yan was not angry about this. He just left Xu Guangcai there, turned sideways and looked at Zhao Jiulang. Zhao Jiulang touched his nose and deliberately did not answer the Emperor Yan's intention.
Emperor Yan shook his head, looked at the prince who was sitting there with his back straight, and said:
"The prince thinks how to consolidate the three Jin lands."
< p>This is not an exam, because as the prince of a country, you must have your own ideas on this kind of matter. Whether you are asked or not, you have to have your own ideas.The prince stood up immediately, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Father, the land of the Three Jin Dynasties has gone through many wars in the past few years. I feel that what Mr. Xu said is indeed reasonable, and we should rest with the people."
Huang Yan patiently leaned back on the chair and raised his hand.
Said:
"Be more specific."
"Yes, my father, the emperor, governs the place and the herdsmen, to the court, it is nothing more than two words."
"What two words?"
Xu Guanghuai started to praise.
People recognized you before, and you naturally have to respond accordingly now.
The imperial court of Dayan is indeed iron-blooded, and His Majesty is not the kind of person who cannot punish the scholar-bureaucrats. But on the other hand, the chaotic strife in the imperial court of Dayan is worse than that of other countries. Much smaller.
For example, His Majesty doesn't care whether a princeling is a princeling or not, and even this year's imperial examinations are left to the prince to preside over.
Therefore, it is not a taboo for the minister and the prince to get closer.
"Only the words civil and military."
The prince then walked to the map of the Three Jin Dynasties hanging on the wall on the west side of the imperial study.
Because there is a war there these days, the map of the Three Jin Dynasties hangs in the imperial study room.
Although Emperor Yan would not point fingers at Jingnan Marquis on the front line, as an emperor, it was impossible not to really care about the battle situation on the front line.
The prince pointed at the locations of Litian City and Quhe City,
and said:
"Father, as I saw, the three Jins The real hub of the land lies in the three cities and three passes.
The three cities refer to Quhe City, Litian City and Yingdu City, and the three passes refer to Nanmen Pass and Zhennang Pass. "Hexue Customs"
Nanmen Pass is the pass where Zhenbei Hou Jingnanhou led his army into the Jin Dynasty. Small country.
Zhennanguan Pass was originally built by the Situ family to deal with the Chu State. It cannot be called a Xiongguan Pass because originally the Situ family and the Chu State were not bordering each other. The country continued to expand, and then it took over. In recent years, small frictions and small battles have occurred frequently on the border between the two sides.thing, so this Zhennan Pass has been given a deeper meaning.
“Let’s not talk about the three cities, let’s talk about these three passes first. Father, there are many small countries outside the Nanmen Pass. In the past, Jingnanhou, the Marquis of Zhenbei, led his army through here, but there was no news from them. It is enough to see that The situation between these small countries is complicated.
This place should be guarded by careful generals. On the one hand, it can guard the southern gate of Jin, and on the other hand, it can be used to divide and disintegrate these small countries.
< p>The Yu family has taken the lead, and Prince Cheng has taken the lead. I, Dayan, are very sincere to these noble relatives in the country. After a few years of operation, I can achieve the effect of defeating others without fighting.Zhennanguan Pass should be in the hands of the Chu people now. My minister suggested that when the war is over, Zhennanguan Pass should be taken back without leaving any residue, and a stable general should be ordered to guard it and guard against the Chu people.
The Snow Customs is the first of the three passes and has a very important relationship. After this battle, the savages in the snowfield will definitely be severely weakened. However, the snowfield is bitterly cold and vast, so the savages will never give up their ambition to go south again. .
Therefore, a brave and capable general will be appointed to guard Yuxue Customs. How I, Dayan, have dealt with the barbarians in these years, I should use this as an example to reduce the barbarians. ”
< p>At this point, the prince paused and continued:"With the three passes in hand, the gate of Jin is in my control, Dayan. Next, these three cities are It is the key to the governance of Jin.
Quhe City, Litian City, and the prefectures and counties under these two cities should change the previous customs and adopt the combination of civil and military affairs. ”
Hearing this, many of the ministers present nodded slightly, obviously agreeing.
It was a helpless move to hand over the various places to the military chiefs to guard them. After all, the main purpose of maintaining stability in the newly occupied new territories was to worry about the recurrence of the Helian family's poisonous behavior, and The garrison of military leaders who also take charge of local areas can also relieve the pressure on the court to escort money and food.
But now that we want to manage it well and incorporate the new areas into the territory of Dayan, we naturally need to have civil servants.
Some words are not so convenient for these ministers, because Yan State is different from Qian State, and civilian officials do not have the upper hand over military generals.
The simultaneous administration of civil and military affairs is equivalent to dividing the power of military commanders. This is the most appropriate statement for the prince.
Immediately afterwards,
The prince faced Emperor Yan again,
said:
"In this regard, there is still one thing to do with the simultaneous administration of civil and military affairs." I would like to ask my father to correct me."
"Said."
"My son believes that if we want to achieve the fastest possible governance of the Jin Dynasty, we must pay attention to the civil and military aspects, especially the civil affairs. In terms of matters, the new law should be adopted.
From the county governor to the county magistrate, there should be two officials, one official from the Yan region, taking the lead, and another official from the Jin region.
Adopting Jin people as officials can quickly stabilize the Jin region, and starting next year, the imperial examinations at all levels in the Jin region will be the same as that of the Yan Dynasty.
Next year. In the spring of the Qing Dynasty, the scholars of Shanxi could be elected by the local elder officials.Recommended, given the same birthplace as Juren, participated in the spring period, and the ranking was divided into two rankings to ensure that the number of Jin people's sons was recorded. ”
If General Zheng were in the Imperial Study Room at this time, he would probably be extremely shocked by His Royal Highness Prince Chen Lue, and even couldn’t help but applaud and praise him.
Because of these measures, General Zheng is familiar with both, and they have been verified in the history he is familiar with.
The former is the policy of the Qing Dynasty after entering the customs, and the latter is the North and South List of the Ming Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, it is to divide the cake, attract talents, wealthy families, and aristocratic families from Jin into the Yan Kingdom's ruling system, and provide these people with channels for advancement.
As long as they are comfortable, then they can do so. I will help you make the ordinary Jin people below feel comfortable, and then everyone will be comfortable.
There is another extremely critical reason for the death of the second generation of Qin in history, and that is Qin. The rule of the Six Kingdoms is still too superficial. A group of local officials are Qin people, and a Qin army is stationed nearby. Even if it is occupied and ruled, in fact, the officials below are still the survivors of the Six Kingdoms.
It’s just that Qin was the first unified dynasty. It was precisely because of its shortcomings that later dynasties were able to learn lessons and improve.
But it has to be said that the prince. It is really impressive to have this kind of knowledge;
The Ji family is really excellent.
"At the same time, as for military generals, the Helian family should be the auxiliary army of Jin. The auxiliary army from the old place can go to Xueguan, and the soldiers and horses under the command of Prince Cheng can be stationed at Nanmen Pass. Even Beifeng County, if the knights of the Three Jin Dynasties can be quickly restored..."
The Emperor Yan is here At this time, he said:
"We will discuss the matter of the army and generals after Jingnan Hou's announcement. "
"Yes, Father, my son and I are abrupt. "
The prince leaned over.
"No, you just said it very well. Emperor Yan paused and continued: "But the military affairs are very involved and should be the mainstay." ”
If there is any problem with the garrison, no matter how beautifully everything was done before, it will only be reflected in the mirror.
The most important thing is that a big battle will be fought. After all, when it's time to share the cake, the court needs its own cake, so the general who wins the battle also needs to get a share for his subordinates.
Even if Jingnanhou doesn't want it himself, he also needs it for himself. The generals under your command strive for a promotion space.
If you chill the hearts of the literati, they will at most write acid poems or short notes to appease you.
But. For these soldiers who have been through life and death, if they are not placed properly, there will really be big problems.
The Emperor of Yan is an ambitious monarch, and he naturally knows that he wants to keep the Yan soldiers. With the enthusiasm for foreign expansion, they must be allowed to truly enjoy the dividends of foreign expansion.
The most important thing is that the Jingnan Army is already somewhat disloyal to the imperial court. If it fails in terms of rewards. What a mistake, the problem is really big
In a word, the placement of generals must be based on Tian Wujing's requirements.
"Prince, you and the prime minister should discuss the arrangement of civil servants in Quhe City in Litian City. After the discussion is completed, you can jointly give me an agreement."
Zhao Jiulang He stood up immediately and leaned down with the prince to accept the promise.
Finally,
Yan Huang waved his hand,
said:
"As for the Jingnan Marquis Mansion, move to Yingdu on the right. ”
This is also what it should be. In the land of the Three Jins, only the area east of Wangjiang has not yet been pacified. The threat from the barbarians and the Chu people continues, and the Marquis of Jingnan is sitting in Yingdu. , Only then can the court truly be reassured.
The most important thing is, what if something goes wrong again one day? What if Tian Wujing is far away and someone sends someone to announce the decree but they don’t agree?
The imperial court has already been humiliated once, so there is no reason to dig another hole for yourself.
Nowadays, the layout of Dayan is that the Marquis of Zhenbei guards the west and the Marquis of Jingnan guards the east.
The barbarians have become calm over the years, but no one dares to take it lightly. Once the barbarians get into chaos and really come in, the damage they will cause cannot be compared to that of the savages.
At this time, Zhao Jiulang stood up again and said:
"Your Majesty, I feel that it is inappropriate for the Marquis of Jingnan to move to Yingdu."
"Oh?"
Emperor Yan was slightly surprised.
The other ministers, including the prince, all looked solemn.
Actually, everyone knows in their hearts that it seems that Zaifu is refuting and questioning His Majesty's meaning, but in fact, it may be two people singing a double act.
Zhao Jiulang was able to occupy the leading position among courtiers, on the one hand, because he did have the talent to govern the country, and on the other hand, he would do whatever His Majesty ordered.
However, the Yan Kingdom is now growing in power, so no one will spread the word that Zhao Jiulang is a paper prime minister.
Zhao Jiulang said:
"Your Majesty, Yingdu has become a prince's fiefdom. The Marquis of Jingnan has settled in Yingdu. In terms of regulations..."
It means that the Marquis of Jingnan is in Yingdu, should he pay homage to the Prince Situ Yu?
Salute?
Joke.
Everyone here understood in their hearts.
Would the Marquis of Jingnan salute Situ Yu? In real life, Situ Yu would have knelt down to the Marquis of Jingnan. In fact, Situ Yu, as a prince, did kneel to the Marquis of Jingnan. .
But why mention it specifically?
Xu Guanghuai turned his attention to the prince.
The prince hesitated slightly.
Xu Guanghuai’s eyes did not move.
Zhao Jiulang also remained silent.
The prince then stood up,
kneeled down on his own initiative,
said sincerely:
"Father, my son, I am here. Don’t avoid relatives, just speak out of public opinion;
The Marquis of Jingnan has repeatedly made contributions to the country and destroyed the Jin Dynasty., to open up territory for Dayan!
The Marquis of Zhenbei has guarded Beifeng County for generations, and he has fought against the barbarians for our country, Yan. His achievements for a hundred years are astounding!
My dear minister, I am bold.
For the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Jingnan, please grant me a royal title! ”
One is his future father-in-law, and the other is his biological uncle. He really does not shy away from relatives.
Emperor Yan calmly looked around at everyone in the imperial study. People,
For a moment,
all the ministers stood up and knelt down,
said in unison:
"I have the courage to do this for you. Marquis of Zhenbei and Marquis of Jingnan, please grant me a royal title! ”
