Chapter 81 Dividing the Pie and the National Teacher
"This, is this impossible?" Princess Cui said in shock, but her tone was already a little loose.
Lin Fengjin sighed and said:
"In the family, the country, and the world, the king is the representative of a country. He relies on his own strong destiny to withstand the mighty national destiny and the vast dragon energy. The national master is obviously an ordinary person's destiny, why can he withstand the dragon energy like the blood of a prince?
, has the blessing of national luck? Have you ever thought about the reason behind it?"
Princess Cui was stunned, and then said in disbelief:
"What you said is not unreasonable. Could it be?"
Lin Fengjin said categorically:
"Yes, the Imperial Preceptor is taking away the fate of the monarch. Otherwise, how could such a good thing happen out of thin air? If you don't believe it, then let me ask you, how old is Yuan Hao, the Patriarch of Xirong now?
?”
Princess Cui said:
"I don't know the exact age, but I guess you are around ten years old, right?"
Lin Fengjin said:
"You have also met Yuan Hao. Does he look like a ten-year-old man? Some people believe that he is forty years old, right? You don't know Yuan Hao's specific age, but you should know Wang Meng's age, right?
"
Princess Cui said:
"The Imperial Master is at least ninety years old."
Lin Fengjin sneered:
"The two great national masters seem to be in their prime and live a long life. However, if you look through the history books, you will know that in sharp contrast, the kings of Dongxia Kingdom and Xirong are short-lived, and none of them can survive.
Over forty. How do you feel about this? Or put it this way, do you hope that our son will become such a short-lived ghost in the future? Will he have to rely on good luck to live to be forty? "
Princess Cui was immediately shocked, and subconsciously said sharply:
"Of course not!"
However, after she screamed, she frowned and said:
"It's just that it's not an easy task to get rid of the imperial master. Wang Meng's current power is deeply rooted, and his strength is also unpredictable. He is definitely not someone who will sit back and wait for death."
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"Haste makes waste. The system of establishing a national master in the Eastern Xia Dynasty has been passed down for so long. It would not be good to abolish it all at once. It is also unrealistic. However, we can be a master who never forgets the past and the future.
Look at some of the same examples in history.”
"For example, during the Han Dynasty, there were kings who couldn't lose their tails and became a nuisance to the king. They issued an enfeoffment order, abolishing the order that only the prince could inherit the territory, and instead allowed the kings to enfeoff the territory to all their sons.
, in this way, the territories of the kings were originally large enough to compete with the central government. However, after one generation, their territories were divided into three or four pieces, and after two generations, they were divided into about ten pieces.
It doesn’t pose any threat at all.”
Princess Cui said with some confusion:
"I've also read about what you're talking about in Tongjian, but the position of national preceptor cannot be hereditary."
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"I'm talking about borrowing, not plagiarism. The biggest difference between the two is that plagiarism is copying the original text, while borrowing is understanding its ideas and innovating. We must first clarify a very critical issue here.
That's why the national teacher can share the fate of the king! Well, I know that you probably don't understand this question, so I will answer it first. It is based on two points. One is the status of being the king's teacher;
The second thing lies in the rank of the national master!"
"Youdao means being upright and obedient. As the king's teacher, even if the king sees him, he must be courteous. This is the prerequisite for him to be able to control the dragon's energy and the destiny of the country, and the rank of the national teacher determines his
Being able to obtain the amount of dragon energy and national luck is just like the salary of a seventh-grade official cannot be compared with that of a prime minister. If Wang Meng can achieve his current results, it is not difficult to analyze that the grades of the national preceptor and the patriarch must be super-grade.
!Only second to the king!"
Lin Fengjin explained in great detail, so Princess Cui understood it as soon as she heard it. After Lin Fengjin saw that she understood, he asked someone to come over and get paper and pen, and then wrote two big words on it: "
"National Preceptor", and then made a cross:
"First of all, this title must not be given up. Lord of Heaven and Earth, Lord and Master, with the title of National Master, one has a status, and ministers should always be ministers! You must not get used to it. This is the bottom line, and it is worth it.
Fortunately, it seems that Patriarch means Great Father in the Chiron language commonly used by the Xirong royal family, which seems to be even more egregious than Imperial Master."
Then Lin Fengjin wrote down the word "super grade":
"This level also needs to be removed, but you can do it slowly and wait until you can take it easy, right."
Having said this, Lin Fengjin suddenly sat up, looked around, and then simply reached out and pulled Princess Cui to her side and sat on his lap. Princess Cui was immediately embarrassed because there were so many people nearby.
Look! She wants to maintain a reserved and dignified image, so of course she can't act casually.
The rest of the guards, the palace maids, etc. did not dare to look here. When they saw Lin Fengjin's bold and reckless behavior, they immediately turned their heads away. Princess Cui also struggled hurriedly to maintain her image in front of the servants.
But he heard Lin Fengjin suddenly whisper in his ear:
"I almost forgot one thing. If we reduce the national division, we will probably be able to survive for a few more years. This matter is closely related to your vital interests. What do you think?"
Obviously, although Princess Cui's current power is prominent, strictly speaking, when Cui Zhen has been confirmed as the crown prince, after the death of the current monarch, her power will inevitably rise to a higher level! At the same time, if she continues
It is normal for them to join forces with powerful officials, even if the monarch becomes an adult.
What's more, Cui Zhen is only two years old, so it is definitely impossible for him to do anything. It is inevitable to listen to politics behind the curtain! No wonder Lin Fengjin has this question.
However, Princess Cui’s answer was without hesitation. It was very straightforward:
"That's why we have to do this as soon as possible--although he is the king, he is also my biological brother. If I have a way to let him live a few more years for the sake of mere power, but I just stand by and watch, then in the future
How can I go to see my father and queen under the Nine Springs after death?"
Lin Fengjin nodded and said:
"I understand, so let's continue with the previous topic. The Imperial Guard must be reduced, but we can't reduce it all at once. We can set up an additional National Defense Department in the imperial court, which is used to house people like Wang Meng.
There are positions such as the Protector of the Country Mage, the Protector of the Country, the Protector of the Country, the General of the Protector, and naturally, the Commander of the Protector of the Country, the Director of the Protector of the Country, and so on!"
"Secondly, a competition mechanism must be introduced in the National Protection Division to check and balance each other. However, the grades must be clearly defined. The highest level is the fourth grade! In this case, the stolen dragon energy and national luck will be much less. According to
My calculation is that even if the four or five highest-grade Protector of the Nation Real Persons and Protector of the Nation generals are entrusted at the same time, the dragon energy and national destiny they consume will be at most only about half of what the current super-grade National Master consumes!"
Princess Cui is also extremely smart. She can draw inferences from one instance and immediately said:
"Yes, does the competition mechanism you mentioned introduce the other forces in our Dongxia Kingdom? For example, the Momen, or the military strategists?"
"Yes!" Lin Fengjin nodded in approval:
"This is like a big cake. Wang Meng was originally eating here alone. However, we now divide the big cake into ten portions. We keep half of it, and the remaining five portions are put out for everyone to compete to see who can win.
The conditions given are generous and the loyalty to the court is the most real. Otherwise, there will be no cake to eat!"
"Obviously Wang Meng will oppose this plan, because his interests have been greatly weakened. However, as long as the news is released, the other sects or forces that are qualified to enter will definitely agree!! Because they are originally
We won’t even get a piece of the cake. If we support this plan now, we can openly and legitimately get a share of the pie. In this way, the pressure that should have been borne by us alone will be borne by us and other companies.
Take it all together and become extremely small.”
After Princess Cui heard Lin Fengjin's words, she suddenly became enlightened, as if a new world had appeared before her eyes. After thinking about it carefully, she stood up decisively and shouted loudly:
"Come here, prepare the car, the war here has been decided, I have to rush back to Huining overnight!"
The people around her were all very surprised, but when Princess Cui saw that their movements were a little slow, she immediately raised her eyebrows and shouted:
"Do you need me to say it a second time?"
Lin Fengjin was also stunned, and then whispered to Princess Cui:
"Ruoruo, there is no need to be in such a hurry. Wang Meng wanted to kill me at Tianmen Ao. I was forced to fight back. The four disciples he brought with him were all dead, and he himself also lost a leg.
My arm probably won’t come back for at least two or three days.”
Princess Cui was stunned for a moment and looked over in disbelief. Lin Fengjin shrugged, but she showed that she was innocent. If Princess Cui hadn't known that Lin Fengjin rarely lied, she would have questioned it, but she
After thinking for a while, he still said firmly:
"Then I still have to leave immediately. If Wang Meng is rid of the title of National Master, your Majesty will be able to be freed earlier!"
Since Princess Cui was so insistent, a group of people immediately started to move. But soon, all the ministers here were alerted. They thought something big had happened and hurriedly came to see them and inquire about the news. However, Princess Cui only said that they would
Ning had some things to deal with, and others had no way of getting to the bottom of it, so he had to use various channels to find out.
After Lin Fengjin came to Dongxia Kingdom at this time, it could be said that everything he wanted to do was completed, and he could return to Northern Qi.
However, Princess Cui was going to do a big job of undermining the Imperial Preceptor at this time, and she very much hoped that Lin Fengjin would be around to serve as a counselor, and Lin Fengjin felt that he owed a lot to both mother and son-------except
In addition, Lin Li's entire ability lies in Gu insects. It can be said that the strength of Gu insects determines the upper limit of his strength. The Yedao country where he lives is a purely southern country, and the temperature is very warm all year round. Therefore,
There were many insects in Dongxia Kingdom that he had never seen before. To Lin Li, this place was equivalent to an unexplored treasure house.
Therefore, Lin Fengjin also went to Huining with his mother and son, enjoying the rare happiness of a family of three along the way.
On the way to Huining, Lin Fengjin followed Princess Cui's phoenix chariot. The entire route was heavily guarded and did not encounter any trouble at all. During the journey, Princess Cui had already paid homage in her own name.
Several major forces in Dongxia sent her invitation letters. Under Lin Fengjin's suggestion, the invitation letter was made of pure gold and surrounded by four golden flowers. It was lifelike and extremely lifelike.
.It can be said that it has great style and weight once it is taken out. I believe that the forces that have received the golden flower will pay special attention to it.
After Princess Cui arrived in Huining, she ignored all the trouble and went directly to the palace to ask for an audience with King Cui Jiang. It should be the examples cited by Lin Fengjin before. It can be said that all of them are very reliable and reliable.
There are differences in history and examples to follow. Therefore, it is very convincing.
And more importantly, everyone has the idea of survival, and it will become more and more intense as the health deteriorates. Cui Jiang, as the king of a country, is certainly no exception, so he is very interested in prolonging his life.
This kind of thing is to tell lies to him, and I'm afraid you would rather believe it than believe it.
Therefore, less than half an hour after Princess Cui entered the palace, the chamberlains left the palace one after another, and several bachelors from the Xuan cabinet entered the palace immediately. Many ministers in the court knew that the monarch was not in good health recently, and they seemed to have secretly appointed the crown prince.
, I was speculating in my mind whether something like the current emperor's critical illness and death was going to happen, which made people panic for a while. Finally, when I went to court the next day, I saw the pale-faced monarch still sitting steadily.
After sitting on the Dragon Throne, I was sure that it was a rumor.
That is to say, on the third day after Princess Cui arrived in the capital city of Nying, the leaders of several major forces who had received her invitation gathered at the princess's mansion. Among them, there were both military strategists who remained neutral and those who had always been leaning towards the monarch.
The Mohist family, the already ascendant Tianchi sect, and even the less famous Strategists and Yin Yang sects, etc.!
Princess Cui invited all these masterminds to have a banquet together. After drinking for three rounds, she stood up and said calmly:
"This time, inviting you all here is not my intention alone, but the intention of the imperial court. To be precise, it should be the consensus between the monarch and me."
After Princess Cui finished saying this, she slightly raised her hand to signal, and three people walked out from the side. One of them was wearing a scarlet robe and looked like a eunuch, while the other one was dressed as a general.
He was wearing a helmet and had sharp eyes. There was another person who looked ordinary and was also dressed a little slovenly. He just casually tied an iron sword with a straw rope around his waist, but this sword had no sheath at all.
, looks very ordinary.
However, when they saw these three people, the pupils of several principals present shrank slightly. It was obvious that even if they could not recognize all three people, they could definitely recognize one of them, the eunuch next to Princess Cui.
Then he came out and introduced:
"This is the eunuch in charge of the imperial study, Eunuch Liu."
"This is the noble commander of the Royal Forest Army."
"This is Mr. Hu, the president's bodyguard."
The leader prints the eunuch!!
Commander of the Royal Forest Army!
Ouchi's bodyguard leads the president!
No matter how low the eunuch's status is, the person who can be the leader and seal the eunuch must be the monarch's confidant, because to a large extent, he is the continuation of the monarch's power. People in this position are not aligned with the monarch.
, then the monarch is likely to be sidelined!
The Commander of the Royal Forest Army is responsible for keeping the country free from hidden dangers such as mutiny and rebellion, while the Ouchi Guard President is responsible for guarding against desperate assassins and hidden dangers in the palace! If these two people have different intentions, then
It is difficult to protect the monarch's personal safety, and his head does not feel safe. Therefore, these two people must be the monarch's trusted confidants.
This also ensures the authenticity of what Princess Cui said before. After all, if she lies, some of the three people may be bribed by him, but the possibility of all three being bribed at the same time is almost zero.
After the principals below whispered to each other and confirmed the identities of these three people, Princess Cui said:
"What I say next will be the secret of our country in a short period of time, so you need to make a commitment. If you are not interested in it after listening to it, you can withdraw and leave, but you must keep it secret for at least a month. You cannot do anything
If you make a promise, please leave now."
Princess Cui waited and found that no one wanted to leave, so she nodded and said:
"Very good. This is a serious matter. Can you please make your commitment in front of me? Master Shen, the military strategist, is closest to me, so I'll start with you first."
Everyone was slightly stunned. They didn't expect that they really needed to make a promise. However, since they had reached this point and Princess Cui didn't have any particularly harsh requirements, they all agreed on the spot. Then Princess Cui said:
"Then let's get down to business. This is good news of vital interest to everyone. That is, the imperial court is planning to open an additional Royal Family Protection Department to highlight those extraordinary people who can contribute to our country! Let's
Their bloodshed and sacrifice will not be in vain."
Sure enough, after the people below heard this, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly boiled as if a drop of water fell into a frying pan! It was very lively, and several people even asked questions, very excited!
Princess Cui raised her hands and said:
"Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet----------The Wang Family Protector's Department is included in the Ministry of War among the six bureaus. Its official positions are as follows: The real Wang Family Protector of the Country is a fourth-grade official, receives double salary, and is awarded ink.
Jiao robe, white jade, ancient sword with pine pattern and square pattern, has the right not to bow to the official, and has six guardians of the royal family. The candidates for the guardian of the royal family can be reported to the official department by the real person of the royal guardian, as long as the identity is green and white,
If there is no crime, you can usually pass smoothly."
"The General Protector of the Wang Family is a fifth-grade official, receives a double salary, is given a black water unicorn robe, a Daxia Dragon Bird golden sword, has four royal protectors under his jurisdiction, and also has the power to recommend candidates for the Royal Protector."
"The commander-in-chief of the Royal Family and the Protector of the Country is a sixth-grade official, receives a double salary, is given a striking white-breasted tiger robe, and has jurisdiction over two Protectors of the Royal Family and the Dharma."
"The Wang family protects the country and protects the law. It is a seventh-grade official position. It receives a salary and is equipped with a wild goose feather sword."
After everyone heard this, their eyes lit up even more. It can be said that the people who came here are all veterans. Why can't they hear the meaning of these titles? Among the three major official positions presented by the imperial court, they all carry the word "Wang Family".
! This is equivalent to treating them as one of the royal family, and they are qualified to share the dragon energy and national destiny. This is what they dream of!
What's more important is that the imperial court actually delegated power. The following law of protecting the country clearly clarifies the benefits of the imperial court's distribution of profits to them.
The most prominent person of the Wang family, the Protector of the Country, has six positions below. These six positions are clearly for their personal placement! They can also share the dragon energy and luck. Needless to think, there must be someone.
The fight for these six positions can be overwhelming, and as long as it works well, the potential benefits it will bring can be imagined.
At that time, the people who came here were all high-profile people, and they immediately started making noises without caring about their dignity. They talked to each other as if they were in a vegetable market. At this time, the noble commander stood there.
He took a step out and said coldly:
"Don't be impatient. I'm going to roll the names. You come and ask. This is the palace of the princess. Everyone is a person of status. In the future, they may enter the court. The existence of being listed in the gentry record is so unbecoming.
?”
After saying that this noble commander had a relationship with the elder from Momen, he pointed at him and said:
"Elder Fei, you speak first."
Elder Fei glanced at your commander gratefully, then stood up and said:
"May I ask how the imperial court selects the members of the Royal Family's National Defense Department? How can we ensure that the selection is fair and just?"
It can be said that this question almost represents the voice of the majority of people, and they all immediately agreed:
