No one thought that the concessions made by Xungui in the past two years would eventually need to be repaid. Xungui controls the Zhechong Mansion. This is an old system and no one can tell the problem. Even if the number of Zhechong Mansion is increased, its purpose is only to ensure that the government is under the new government.
The number of soldiers.
The Xiang army was favored by the nobles, and when the officials came to their senses, they discovered that the contemporary Qi Duke Jiang Bu, who once suppressed the Anxi warriors in white clothes, was so terrifying.
Not only were 200 new Zhechong mansions established in the New Deal, but they also went a step further to extend their noble hands into the Xiang army.
In the past, the Xiang army was led by the commanders and captains of the Fu soldiers who had served and recuperated among the Fu soldiers. As mentioned before, letting the Fu soldiers take turns among the Xiang troops was undoubtedly a way for the nobles to control the Xiang army.
Although the recruiting envoy was given to the general, it was a benefit to the military. The general with the support of the nobles undoubtedly became the pawns pushed to the forefront by the nobles in the civil-military battle. As for the nobles, they had the generals as their pawns, so they could
Don't compete with civil servants and stay aloof from outsiders.
In the past, there were always conflicts between civil and military affairs. Saints often fought each other in order to balance the situation. However, civil servants succeeded one after another. If a civil servant lost his official position, there would still be a successor, but what about the nobles? Without war, it is impossible to obtain a title.
If it hadn't been for the hundred years of Daqian's campaign, I'm afraid the number of nobles now would have been reduced by half, and even the five Duke's mansions might not have been preserved.
Since the First World War with Emperor Mu Zong, a lot of nobles have been lost. In the prosperous years, many titles were added, but most of them were nobles such as county officials and county uncles who had no say in the court.
Last year, six princes killed three prime ministers, which was your last warning. However, the civil servants did not see it and reduced the military equipment by 10%. For your nobles, the number of soldiers is not the most important thing.
The bottom line is that having no voice in the court is the scene that the top nobles least want to see.
The power of the nobles was obtained from the emperor, and the power of the nobles was the wings of the king's power. The power of the country gradually grew, and the sage Zhao Yumin clarified the power of the three provinces. The civil servants were excited for a while.
However, the relationship between monarch power and prime minister power has always been a relationship of competition and cooperation. Now the twelve ministers and three envoys have strengthened the power of the prime minister. The absence of monarch power is the bud of national chaos. The sage Zhao Yumin asked Jiang Bu to increase the voice of the nobles. This is the original power of the monarch.
However, he did not expect that the civil servants would look so ugly.
Previously, when Wen Qi was the minister, he strongly supported Xun Gui. This was because Wen Qi saw that the power of the prime minister of the three provinces of Daqian clearly exceeded the power of the king. When Wen Qi resigned from office to protect the crown prince, Xun Gui lost his position in the court.
With the help of the emperor, in the past two years in the court, the nobles have retreated. In fact, the monarchy of the saint Zhao Yumin has retreated.
For two years, Wen Qi had no sleep at night. The precedent of Da Qi was just a hundred years ago. When the literati were in power, they could never see behind the prosperity. Without the army to protect the people, the prosperity in front of them would be like a bubble.
Wei Xian, the successor chosen by Wen Qi, was angry and left because of his strong character. Wen Qi was so angry that he vomited blood.
Wenqi obviously understood how terrible the consequences of a strong civil society and a weak military were. For Daqian, there were wolves, tigers and leopards all around. If it weren't for the soldiers resisting on the border, Daqian would have been divided by foreign countries long ago.
Wen Qi was not from a famous family, and his ancestor was just a captain in the border area of Daqi. It was the tragedy of Dayuan in the northern border area that treated the people of Daqi as two-legged sheep, which made the captain of the Wen family learn from it painfully.
, gave up martial arts and followed literature, and finally left behind the ancestral precepts. The descendants of the Wen family should serve in the court, so that the warriors would not have to worry about war.
This was the case for Wen Qi. After he took office in the court, he unequivocally supported the nobles and generals, which was regarded as heresy by the civil servants.
The history of the Daqian Kingdom lasted for hundreds of years, and the disputes at court can hardly be explained in a few words. The domestic stability gave the civil servants the illusion that their horses were released to the Nanshan Mountains and their swords and guns were stored in the treasury.
But they don’t know the price it would have cost if there were no four major military governors fighting every year to prevent foreign countries from invading.
Only a hundred years of war can lead to a hundred years of peace. Apparently these civil servants have forgotten this.
At the great court meeting on the first day of June, there was no final decision on the disposition of the Xiang army. When Jiang Bu, Duke of Qi, said: "The best of the soldiers recruited in the old calendar can be selected as auxiliary troops for the Protectorate. In this way, the soldiers of the government can concentrate on the war, and there will be time to recruit soldiers in the old calendar." It can be done. If you have made a great contribution, you can confer land as a government soldier. At the same time, the Xinxiang army can also assume the responsibility of protecting the country and the people. If there are local bandits and small groups of foreigners raiding, you can not use the border army and the imperial army. This saves money. The money and food that came down are countless. The state's tax revenue has increased steadily. The place where I will work will be stable and prosperous, the military will be strong, and the lost territory will be recovered in a short time."
This was originally a talk about seeking a country by Laosheng, but some people stuck to Jiang Bu's words about regaining lost territory. Jiang Bu's original intention was that Daqian could restore the territory of Dafeng.
But obviously the civil servants don't care about this. Others can say this, but you, Duke of Qi, Jiang Bu, can't say it, because your Duke of Qi, Jiang Bu, is after the Yin family of Da Qi. So Guo Rangjie, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, shouted: "Let me ask Duke of Qi, so and so I want to restore Daqi!"
The whole court was so silent that you could hear a needle drop.
"The book of sages has been read like a dog's belly by you! The prince should be beheaded!" Prince Zhao Zaicheng looked at Qi Duke Jiang Bu and his face turned pale. Da Qian won the country over Da Qi. Although the Yin family changed to Jiang, this was the decision made by Emperor Xian of Qi at that time. , the Duke of Qi also made great military exploits for Da Qian.
Every year, the saint would take a ten-day period to go to his ancestral homeland, Qianzhou, to worship the late emperor, and the Duke of Qi would go with him every year.
Go and see the Mausoleum of Emperor Daqian in Qianzhou. There are two imperial mausoleums in the center. One is Emperor Wu of Qi and the other is Emperor Xian of Qi, who was also the first Duke of Qi in Daqian.
Now that it was being used to make a fuss, Zhao Zaicheng's anger was immediately raised. This sentence not only said that Duke Jiang Bu of Qi had a rebellious intention, but also scolded the Zhao family for unfairly winning the country. Anyway, this is how Zhao Zaicheng understood it.
Back then, there was abdication. The two of them made an alliance through bloodshed in their ancestral land. Emperor Xian of Qi was the Duke of Qi. Taizu Qian buried the Duke of Qi as an emperor. At that time, hundreds of civil and military officials watched the ceremony.
Zhao Zaicheng knew that as the prince, he had to give an explanation to Jiang Bu at this time, otherwise the entire Xungui force would break away from the Zhao family. In recent years, Xungui has been loyal to the emperors of Daqian, even with the precedent of the Duke of Qi in front of him. The relationship between the honorable nobles and the Daqian emperors was one of mutual prosperity and loss.
If the nobles are alienated because of one word, the throne of the emperor will be unstable tomorrow.
Zhao Zaicheng rushed to the audience from the saint's seat, drew out the ceremonial sword, and without any hesitation, used the unbladed ceremonial sword and slashed at the Minister of Rites with the blade. The ministers were frightened and did not dare to pull it. Honored general They are eager to try.
"Hey, you are a civil servant and a maid." The sage Zhao Yumin had a frosty look on his face. He cursed and got up and left directly.
Prince Zhao Zaicheng was captured by Qi Duke Jiang Bu. Zhao Yao, Duke of Wei, was Zhao Zaicheng's elder. He carried Zhao Zaicheng to find the saint. Prince Zhao Zaicheng shouted "Kill the thief!"
"Go and see the saint! You can't do this, and neither can the saint!" Jiang Bu said in Zhao Zaicheng's ear. Only then did Zhao Zaicheng become quiet.
Guo Rangjie, the Minister of Rites, was not seriously injured. He was hit on the arm by an unopened ceremonial knife. He only felt pain in his arm. However, he was helped up by his colleagues and other civil servants were surrounding him.
Duke Jiang Bu of Qi did not speak to these civil servants, and took the lead to leave the court with the nobles and went straight to the palace gate.
As soon as Qin Changwu, Duke of Yi State, arrived at the palace gate, he shouted to General Zhonglang, the left prison guard in front of the palace gate: "Close the palace gate and let your people wait outside the palace."
The lieutenant general of the left prison gate is Lu Daoquan, the legitimate son of Jiangxia County Duke. He just said: "The palace gate is an important place and you cannot leave it without permission."
Zhu Ziming, the Duke of Heyang County, kicked him, but he didn't use any force: "No matter how big or small, take your people and get out."
Lu Daoquan was an honest man, he was only twenty-four this year. Looking at a bunch of cannibalistic uncles, he did not dare to refute. Moreover, Zhu Ziming was also the general of the left prison guard, and Lu Daoquan was his superior.
"Everyone is on duty outside the palace!" Lu Daoquan didn't say anything on duty. Although he didn't know what was going on, but with so many uncles present, he thought that coming to Heyang County would not harm him.
But when Lu Daoquan left, he was beaten by a bunch of uncles with punches and kicks. Although it didn't hurt, he really couldn't stand these old uncles. You said: "This baby's chest is really thick!"
"I said: "The thighs are also strong!"
"Okay, stop making trouble now and let your people leave some swords behind!" Jiang Bu's words made Lu Daoquan, who was leading the troops to leave, stay on the spot. However, since it was Jiang Bu who spoke, Lu Daoquan did not dare to hesitate.
, Jiang Bu’na was a hero revered by their descendants, and Duke Guo Na of Qi was the number one person in the army, and everyone followed his words.
Lu Daoquan asked his subordinates to hand over the Hengdao. Dozens of nobles weighed the Hengdao and tried to find out whether it was smooth. Some prison guards were so good at Hengdao that they kicked him on the spot and then cursed: "Go and get the punishment yourself."
!”
As the palace door closed, Lu Daoquan took a whip and began to beat the men who had just been found to have problems with the horizontal sword.
At this time, the nobles in the palace gate became quiet, and they consciously took their positions according to age and title.
Jiang Bu was the leader, followed by three old princes, followed by the county prince and the county prince. Each of them held a horizontal sword. At this time, the civil servants who arrived a step late saw the nobles standing in the palace gate with swords, and felt in their hearts
A little thump.
Just now they were thinking that the nobles must have been in trouble again this time. Anyway, they mainly captured the prince. These nobles will always take a step back. This is the reason why the civil servants always have the advantage in many confrontations.
The reason, I think it will be the same this time.
But obviously this time they thought wrong. Their behavior had touched the bottom line of Emperor Zhao Yumin of Daqian. At the same time, the words of Guo Rangjie, the Minister of Rites, also hurt the relationship between Emperor Daqian and the nobles.
If you want the nobles to be united with the royal family, then you must let the nobles vent their pent-up anger.
The nobles in the palace gate all wear purple robes, while the more numerous civil servants wear robes of various colors.
At this time, the newly appointed prime minister and the left and right ministers pulled up the silent old ministers in the court and turned away. Prince Zhao Zaicheng and Duke Zhao Yao nodded to the three prime ministers: "The saint is waiting for you!"
The Duke of Wei, Zhao Yao, asked the Yulin Guards to let these old officials leave, but this time the officials who rushed to the front in the court and shouted the loudest were blocked in Weng City.
The civil servants were not monolithic. When the nobles wanted to influence the Xiang army, officials from local wealthy families were the first to refuse, so they showed enthusiasm in the court today. The leader among them was Guo Rangjie, the Minister of Rites.
Jiang Bu looked at the palace gates of Wengcheng across the way being closed. At this time, there were only a dozen civil servants left in Wengcheng. Among the officials of the fourth and fifth grades, there was not even a purple robe.
Great cadres value talents, talents that can be used for the country, not talents for personal gain.
"Kill!" Jiang Bu didn't say much nonsense and rushed forward with a horizontal knife.
Before even a cup of tea, the officials headed by Guo Rangjie were killed by the nobles in Wengcheng.
"Let the saints rest assured, the world will be stable if the nobles are here!" Jiang Bu shouted to the prince on the palace wall, and led the nobles to ask Lu Daoquan to open the palace door and let them leave.
As soon as the nobles came out of the palace, they got on their horses and ran to the Sixteenth Guards' Yamen. As soon as noon arrived.
The few remaining old princes in Chang'an City led a dozen or so princes out of the city, and the cavalry drawn from the Sixteenth Guards outside the city had just been brought out from the camp.
The soldiers of Daqianfu are divided into Xiaoqi Fan, Leopard Cavalry Fan, Xiongqu Fan, Yulin Fan, Shesheng Fan and Yi Fei Fan.
The Xiaoqi Fan is the heavy cavalry, the Leopard Cavalry Fan is the light cavalry, the Xiongqu Fan is the infantry, the Shesheng Fan is the crossbowmen, and the Yifei Fan is the archer.
Among them, the Yulin Fan is the most special. The Yulin Fan is the descendant of the Beiyuan Camp, that is, the descendants of the Yulin Guards on the left and right sides of Beiya. They took turns in the Sixteenth Guards Forbidden Army. The experience of growing up in the military camp made these The Fu soldiers are very valuable, because they are all-powerful Fu soldiers of Daqian. They can fight on horseback and on foot, and are proficient in everything.
This is the division of arms of the imperial troops, and the cavalry dispatched by the nobles this time are the imperial troops of the Leopard Cavalry Division and the Yulin Division of the Sixteenth Guards. The left and right Xiao Guards and the left and right Wei Guards have been almost all deployed.
The saint's fish talisman followed Xungui's footsteps to the Sixteenth Guards Office. The saint's intention was very clear, which was to let Xungui do it!
In the past, three envoys led troops to take office, and later, nobles led troops to suppress it. This time, the sage Zhao Yumin was very determined and reformed the system without delay.
The eleventh year of Longsheng said there would be no conquest for three years. This year is the twelfth year of Longsheng, and it is also the first year of three years without conquest. Half a year has passed, and the remaining half year has left officials to mobilize, and the army to change defenses is even more cumbersome. Obviously the saint Zhao Yumin's patience has been worn away by the wrangling in the court. Since there is no need to delay, he will resort to thunderous methods!
One year to restructure and two years to accumulate strength. This is the real purpose of the three-year non-levy period.
Da Qian will start to accumulate strength from the 13th year of the Longsheng period, and the implementation of the national system will take time. By the end of the year, the sage Zhao Yumin will start Da Qian to operate according to his own ideas. Now that someone is blocking Zhao Yumin's way of governing the country, then the nobles must Help the saint split the obstacles on the road.
Even if the historian records: "In the twelfth year of the lunar month, in the sixth month, the emperor was tyrannical and slaughtered his ministers, and the whole world was shocked when he heard about it."
Zhao Yumin ignored it. However, Su Ce, who had just arrived in Maozhou in early June, did not know what happened in Chang'an City. As for the restructuring, it was not implemented in the northwest of Jiannan Road for the time being. Where there was war, the restructuring was postponed.
Su Ce set out late, but arrived in Yizhou earlier than Shu King Zhao Zaixiao. When Su Ce led five thousand soldiers from Yizhou to Maozhou, Shu King Zhao Zaixiao had two days before he could reach Yizhou.
Approaching Maozhou, Su Ce could already feel the smell of war in the air. Many people in Maozhou began to move to Yizhou. Along the way, Su Ce saw many people moving south with their families and families.
The five thousand soldiers who arrived early evacuated the people. After all, Maozhou would soon become a battlefield. Instead of leaving the people in the city to be distracted, it was better to let the people evacuate first.
And other nobles, like Su Ce, rushed to the states with their troops. A war was about to break out!
