Of course, shrinking the army is not an easy task. There are so many things that can lead to mutiny if you are not careful, especially when you are using troops in the world. A huge military group like the imperial guard in front of the palace requires not only courage, but also many means to complement each other.≥,w●ww.23≠wx.co︾m

This also means that a memorial is not successful. Zhong Sui needs to be summoned into the palace and ask in detail.

The memorials are mostly persuasion words, indicating the pros and cons of this matter, to show one's loyalty and determination, which is a serious style of writing and speaking.

Afterwards, what Tiao Chenzhong said was another joint, which was a little simpler, and it was about the ownership of the command of the imperial guards in front of the palace......

On this matter, Zhong Sui said without hesitation...

The reason why the Imperial Army Commander of the Palace Front Office appeared in that time was actually because the Xixia attacked and plundered more and the Northwest Town Army was in a difficult situation. Therefore, elite troops were drawn from the local regiment training, as the most powerful supplement to the town army...

Once the defense line formed by the town army is broken through by the Xixia people, the imperial guards in front of the palace can garrison and clean up the mess. As the backbone of the forces, they join forces with local regiments to resist the enemy's attack.

On weekdays, you can also replenish the defects of the town army soldiers nearby.

In fact, it can save a lot of military expenditures from the court and use them as emergency reinforcements. In fact, it is just a temporary measure.

Now it seems that there is no need for the Imperial Army Commander of the Palace Front Office to exist. There is the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and the Xuanfu Order of various places. The border troops have expanded their territory and expanded their territory. The Great Qin treasury is full, and there are no worries. Therefore, the Imperial Army Commander of the Palace Front Office to exist in the middle and has lost its meaning of existence.

In fact, this is a self-destructive and the implicit meaning is very clear. The Xuanfu envoys below are unwilling to be constrained by the commander-in-chief of the Palace Front Office, and the Privy Council and the Ministry of War above are unwilling to come to the local army through the commander-in-chief of the Palace Front Office.

It is very likely that His Majesty the Emperor did not want to have such a military force in the suburbs of the capital that can control the government's affairs.

Therefore, after weighing the left and right, Zhong Sui finally made up his mind that it would be better to automatically hand over the military power of the imperial guards in front of the palace, and by the way, remove this yamen that everyone dislikes.

This is still not a trivial matter. It involves not just the power of the imperial guard commander yamen. The Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and even the Six Ministry, there must be more or less changes. Compared with the reduction of the imperial guards, there is no less matter...

It is simply that these two things are closely related. If you do it from the bottom up, it will naturally be difficult and there is almost no possibility of success. However, if you move from the top down and the court works hard, it will be much easier.

Of course, after several talks with General Zhao Shi, His Majesty the Emperor also understood that the implicit meaning of Zhongsuipiao Chen was to build the Imperial Army into a so-called professional army that was separated from the agricultural affairs and only supported by the court.

In this matter, His Majesty the Emperor also had some concerns. The military that only aims to fight would be more difficult to control. Now it seems that it may be conducive to the war that will unify the world by the Qin Dynasty.

But the battle cannot be fought forever. Sooner or later, the world will be peaceful. At that time, who should these arrogant soldiers and generals use swords and guns to?

This is where every emperor has considered and struggled with it since ancient times. His Majesty the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty is no exception...

Next, Zhong Sui suggested that a yamen be set up under the Privy Council to be in charge of the reorganization of the imperial guards.

Of course, in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, this is a place that the general Zong Sui temporarily found after he asked for his resignation to the commander of the imperial guards in front of the hall.

It is reasonable to have him, the commander of the imperial guards in front of the palace, be responsible for the reorganization of the imperial guards.

But His Majesty the Emperor only thought about it for a moment and realized that things were not that simple.

Previously, the Privy Council intended to set up a yamen under its jurisdiction to specialize in illegal and disorderly affairs in the military, and wanted to steal some powers and responsibilities from the Ministry of Personnel. Later, due to the disputes between the court, it was not officially proposed.

Now, Zhong Sui is likely to take advantage of the reorganization of the imperial guards to find another way and fight for power.

It can be imagined that when the reorganization of the imperial guards is in full swing, in order to strengthen the voice of this yamen, we can write to the court to check and balance the promotion of the generals in the army and all military disciplines under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council.

At that time, except for the generals who could not get rid of the logistics and supplies, the civil servants had no real control over the other matters.

This is a big article, even His Majesty the Emperor has to be very careful...

If Emperor Jingxing was in power, he would definitely not allow such a thing to happen. When seeing such a memorial, the first thing that comes to mind is to suppress the ambitions of the generals.

But Emperor Chengwu is different. His majesty is very appreciative of the enterprising power that comes to his face...

The reorganization of the Imperial Guards is urgent, and the reason why it is still unresolved... The reason is actually very simple. It is because the old ministers of the Secretariat finally couldn't help but want to fight for the dominant power of the Imperial Guards' reorganization.

At this point, His Majesty the Emperor can see better than anyone else.

From the Privy Councilor Wang Daocun's reign to the position of the army to destroy Xia and return to the court, the Privy Council has made new personnel, and then to the general's remittance and was punished, and the situation was to the situation of abolishing the Northwest Town Army, many people in the court have been constantly tempting.

From writing a letter to ask that General Zhao Shi be in charge of the northwest, to wanting to intervene in the reorganization of the northwest town army, and the current successive dynasty struggles, in the final analysis, they are all just focusing on the coming army's stalks.

Is the future of the Qin Dynasty written by literati or above the generals’ sword?

This choice made His Majesty hesitate. This is a difficult choice that every dynasty and every generation of kings face.

His Majesty the Emperor has been asking himself, is it true that as the civil officials said, the power of military generals will eventually cause chaos in politics and disaster in the country?

Those literati are spread all over the six ministries, and only the teachings of saints can eliminate their ambitions?

In such an almost indescribable mood, His Majesty the Emperor has spent many sleepless nights.

In the end, His Majesty the Emperor got such an answer in his heart. After the military generals led their troops for a long time, their ambitions would naturally expand and it would be difficult to suppress them. They, who held military power, were indeed incomparable to civil officials.

But then again, it has been proven by all generations that civil officials have been in power for a long time, and if they want to go further, they will not be much worse than military generals. The first thing they have to do is actually to seek help from military generals, and corruption is also the best way for civil officials.

It can be said that the decline and demise of all dynasties began with civil officials, and most of them were formed by military generals.

From this point of view... Zhao Zhuguo was free and easy to see, and his success would not be in vain. After my death, how could I care about my children and grandchildren?

Those who are successful will naturally make the family prosperous. Those who are not successful will be left with more wealth and wealth, and they will be completely defeated.

With such a conclusion, it is conceivable that Emperor Chengwu’s idea is now...

After reading a little, he sat there pondered for a long time before he ordered: "Transfer the order, add the third-class marquis of the third-class rank of Jin generals, the mother of the third-rank Lady Ronghua..."

"The order was sent to the Secretariat, Li Hun, the Transport Author of Lizhou, was very talented and very pleased by me. Now the position of Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is temporarily short of. If there is no other candidate for the Secretariat, Li Hun can be appointed."

With a command, the attendants on the lakeside immediately became busy. After a while, the tables were ready, and the pens were flying. In an instant, two intriguing imperial edicts were already covered with seals, and the eunuch hurriedly carried away.

While reviewing the memorials in his hand, he waited patiently for a while. Then His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said, "Issued the imperial edict, Lord Zheng, Minister of Personnel, Master Zheng, and Master Zheng, who worked hard and made great contributions. He added a Pisces bag, a college student at the Legitimate Sage Hall, a young master of the Prince, and a three-camp... By the way, I sent my oral order to tell Lord Zheng that Zheng Duo, the Hedong Censor, did a good job. I will announce him back to Beijing to report his duties soon. I hope Lord Zheng will teach this grandson well..."

His Majesty's slow voice echoed on the lakeside, and the eunuchs naturally had to bow to take the order. But at this time, a layer of thin sweat had risen on Chen He's forehead. Li Shifang, who was standing beside him, held his hands in his sleeves, but clenched them tightly into fists, and his body was already trembling slightly.

They are all grateful, but how could the two close ministers in the court not understand the meaning?

I almost had a thought in my mind. His Majesty the Emperor had decided, and these old ministers were probably going to be bad.

His Majesty’s methods are still so tactful. Of course, this is a quality that every wise emperor will definitely possess. However, no matter how gentle it is, the result is the same for several old ministers...

Once the emperor and his ministers were witnessed by their own eyes, the romantic flow was always blown away by the rain and wind. The old ministers in the Jingxing period were finally about to withdraw from this wonderful and dangerous court.

I just don’t know what General Zhong said in the memorial, but His Majesty the Emperor immediately made such a decision...

His Majesty the Emperor had not finished speaking yet, "The emperor sent an order to the Secretariat to add the Dali Temple Shaoqing Zhang Shijie to the list of tours..."

"Transfer an order to summon Duke Zhao Shi of Jin to the palace to meet the emperor...Li Aiqing..."

"I'm here."

"Transfer the imperial guards, palace gate guards, and garrison guards, and they all garrison. Without my order, those who leave their posts without permission will be punished as per the rebellion. They will send the imperial guards to the Yulin guards, asking General Li to take charge and replace the four gates of the capital."
