Chapter 837 The overall situation is the most important
Qin Xiao did not hesitate and said directly: "I am here today because of the grace of the saint. Whatever the saint asks me to do, I will do it."
"You are a sensible kid." The saint turned his head and saw Qin Xiao's sincere face, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Qin Xiao didn't know why the sage favored him, but the sage understood from the motto of the Great Heavenly Master that if Qin Xiao was the Seven Kills Star, it would have extraordinary significance to the Ziwei Emperor Star and be directly related to the emperor.
The rise and fall of.
What Xiao Jianzhi said before made the saint feel hesitant.
However, this time Qin Xiao sent a huge sum of three million from Jiangnan, which can be said to have relieved the pressure on the inner treasury. The saint thought carefully, if the emergence of the Seven Kills Emperor Star is only beneficial to the Ziwei Emperor Star, then whether it is to calm down the chaos in Jiangnan
Or escorting huge sums of money into treasury, both of which can be considered a great help to me.
If the suppression of the chaos in Jiangnan is beneficial to She Yue, then the three million taels of silver entering the inner treasury are no longer under She Yue's control and cannot bring benefits to She Yue. From this, it can be seen that Qin Xiao's existence is
It is still most beneficial to me, the empress of the Tang Dynasty.
She believed that she was the real Ziwei Emperor Star, and she also believed that Qin Xiao was the Seven Kills Auxiliary Star in her destiny. Naturally, the saint tried his best to protect her, the Auxiliary Star.
Star Fate also made it very clear that although the Seven Kills Auxiliary Star will bring good luck to the Ziwei Emperor Star and become the greatest help for the Ziwei Emperor Star to dominate the world, the Ziwei Emperor Star will also bring protection to the Seven Kills Auxiliary Star.
, the two complement each other.
"This time the Qian family rebelled in Suzhou, the Suzhou battalion accompanied the Qian family in the rebellion. This was my negligence." The saint was thoughtful, pondered for a moment, and then said: "The military power of the local states is controlled by the local generals, although the deployment of troops must be done by the imperial court.
However, the imperial court has never interfered with the recruitment and training of the state army. After all, state officials have an understanding of the local situation and it would be more appropriate for them to manage it themselves. Now it seems that my tolerance has been taken advantage of by them."
Qin Xiaodao: "The commander of the Suzhou camp was bribed by the Qian family. He has been planting rebels in the camp over the years, which led to the catastrophe."
"I am planning to set up a Protectorate in the south of the Yangtze River." The saint finally said: "Abolish the three state armies and directly return the military power in the south of the Yangtze River to the imperial court. Originally, there was no precedent for this in the Tang Dynasty. The Protectorate has always been set up at the border.
Land, to comfort and conquer the surrounding tribes, with absolute military power." Putting one hand behind his back, he continued to walk along the path: "However, the rebellion in Jiangnan made me realize that the Jiangnan family is too rich, and with their financial resources
, it is not difficult to bribe military generals, so the military power in the south of the Yangtze River needs to be directly controlled by the imperial court, and a protective palace should be set up to take charge of the military power of the three states, which should be directly controlled by the imperial court."
Qin Xiao cupped his hands and said: "The saint is wise!"
"You know what happened to Anxing Hou." The saint said slowly: "The assassin came from Sword Valley. The disciples of Sword Valley assassinated the Marquis of Tang Dynasty. It was simply crazy. It is imperative to eradicate Sword Valley, but we must completely destroy Sword Valley.
To destroy it, you must pass through Xiling, so recovering Xiling is the prerequisite for destroying Sword Valley."
Qin Xiao suddenly knelt on the ground and said excitedly: "I ask the saint to prepare for war and recover Xiling."
In fact, he knew very well in his heart. I was afraid that most people in the court knew that he had the intention to regain Xiling. After all, he came from Xiling, and he was once a Night Crow under General Black Feather. If he did not have the intention to regain Xiling,
That would be like seeing a ghost.
In this case, he would just show it directly. This would make the saint feel that he is very sincere and his temperament is exposed. If he is still secretive at this time, it will appear too hypocritical.
"Get up and speak!" Sure enough, when the saint saw this, he smiled: "I know that you and the Prime Minister must have the same thoughts on this matter. You once served as an errand under General Black Feather...!
"Speaking of this, he sighed and said: "I feel sad and angry when I think that he made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, but was harmed by the traitors. For the sake of this general of the Tang Dynasty, I have to send troops to bring peace.
Rebellion and eradicate Li Tuo's rebellion."
"Even if I am just a pawn, I am still willing to charge and kill the enemy for the saint!"
"Well said." The saint said with a satisfied smile: "But asking you to be an infantry would be too humiliating." After a pause, he said: "Recovering Xiling is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Li
Behind Tuo was the Wutuo Khanate. This thief recognized the thief as his father, but he was protected by the Wutuo Khanate. The Wutuo people's cavalry should not be underestimated. Without an elite division, recapturing Xiling could only be done on paper.
That's all. The Prime Minister advised the court to recruit and train troops. I have thought about it again and again and feel that it is time to recruit and train a new army for the purpose of recovering Xiling."
Qin Xiao asked cautiously: "The saint has decided?"
"In your opinion, where is the best place to recruit troops and train troops?" The saint walked to a tree shade and looked back at Qin Xiao: "The land in the capital is naturally not suitable for training troops. What do you think of Jiangnan?
"
Qin Xiao thought for a while, and finally said: "I thought we could only train troops in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Oh?" The saint said with a slight smile, "Why?"
Qin Xiao said directly: "Because the military resources needed for military training have to be raised from the south of the Yangtze River. The national treasury is difficult. Not to mention that the country needs money everywhere, the consumption of just maintaining the two frontier armies in the north and south every year is a huge amount.
If a huge amount of military funds are allocated from the national treasury to recruit and train new troops, I am worried that it will increase the burden on the national treasury. Once the national treasury is stretched and unable to sustain supply, it will be counterproductive, and the recruitment and training of new troops may even fail midway."
The saint turned around and stared at Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao immediately lowered his head and bowed his body. After a moment, the saint said: "I am very happy that you can think so." He raised his head slightly, thoughtfully, and after a long time he said: "
Everyone says that the Tang Dynasty belongs to me, but there is one thing they dare not say, that is, I also belong to the Tang Dynasty. The rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty is never due to me alone. The power of the Tang Dynasty depends on the monarchs and ministers.
With unity and support from all the people, only when everyone is dedicated to the Tang Dynasty can we, the Tang Dynasty, be able to consolidate the mountains and rivers forever."
"In the Tang Dynasty, from the capital officials to the local wealthy families, how many people only planned for themselves?" The saint sneered: "Although the late emperor was merciful, it was also because of his generosity that many people knew the law and broke the law. There were serious land annexations among the people, and there were many cases of lining their own pockets.
Yes, these evil roots have remained, but they are difficult to cut off and are hard to come back. It is not easy for me to manage such an empire, but how many people put the blame on me, and how many people can really help me share my worries?
?”
Qin Xiaowei raised his head and saw the indescribable sadness on the saint's face, but he seemed to be speaking from the bottom of his heart. He said respectfully: "Although I have little talent and little knowledge, I will never give up if I can share a little trouble with the saint."
"I believe what you say." The saint smiled and said warmly: "Training troops in the south of the Yangtze River is indeed a good way. Qin Xiao, is the Jiangnan family really willing to spend money to help the imperial court recruit troops and train troops?"
Qin Xiao raised his head and said with a smile: "Businessmen are only interested in profit and regard wealth as their lives. It is not easy to kill them if they want money. However, if the saint trains in Jiangnan, I will try my best to persuade them to pay money, no matter what method is used."
, will not let the national treasury bear the cost.”
The saint pondered for a moment and then said: "After the Bohai Mission leaves Beijing, I will summon the important ministers to discuss this matter in detail."
"Sage, I dare to ask about something, I don't know...?"
"Do you want to ask the Prince of Bohai about the murder?" the saint interrupted.
Qin Xiao nodded and said: "Exactly. Before I entered the palace, I heard them mention in Dali Temple that since the Bohai Prince Yuan Gai Wushuang entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty, he used deception to kill thirty-six people of the Tang Dynasty along the way.
People, the last victim was even killed outside the gates of Kyoto. With such countless crimes, I wonder if Dali Temple needs a thorough investigation?" He did not lower his head this time, but looked at the saint's still very beautiful eyes.
Beautiful phoenix eyes.
"Let's put this case on hold for now." The saint said calmly, "There is no need to make the matter a big deal."
Qin Xiao shook his head and said: "Sage, the matter is already serious. Yuan Gai Wushuang is killing people outside the city. This matter must not be hidden. I am afraid it has already been known to the whole city by now. The Bohai people are killing people unscrupulously in our Tang Dynasty.
If you don't listen and don't ask, I'm afraid I will become dissatisfied."
"I know this." The saint said: "Yuan Gaiwu has the life and death deeds of the deceased in his hands. He has been prepared for it. How to investigate this case?"
Qin Xiaodao: "If you want to investigate, there is a way. The life and death contract is true, but can those life and death contracts become his life-saving talisman? If there is coercion or deception in the signing of the life and death contract, we can also investigate thoroughly. I can mobilize Dali
The temple's manpower found all the family members of the thirty-six victims and the witnesses at the time of the crime, and then listened to their testimonies. If the testimonies all said that the life and death contract was signed under deception, then Yuan Gai had no choice.
His life and death contract cannot be counted. If he kills someone in the Tang Dynasty, he will be tried according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty. When the time comes, Dali Temple will still punish him."
"His father is Bohai Moli Zhiyuan Gaijian." The saint said slowly: "Yuan Gaijian has five sons, and Yuan Gai Wushuang is his youngest son. If his youngest son is convicted by Dali Temple or even dies in the Tang Dynasty, you
What do you think Yuan Gaijian will do? Will the in-law relationship between Datang and Bohai continue?"
Qin Xiao frowned and said: "But Yuan Gai Wushuang killed innocent people indiscriminately in the Tang Dynasty, but we can't convict him. We even have to marry them and let him return to Bohai unharmed. Where is the dignity of our Tang Dynasty? If people don't offend me, I won't.
Prisoner, he committed a crime in the Tang Dynasty. Even if he traveled to the ends of the world, he would not be let go. What's more, he is now in Kyoto. As long as the saint gives a decree, I will immediately start investigating the case. If he can take a step out of Kyoto, I will
Your Majesty...!"
Before he finished speaking, the saint interrupted in a deep voice: "Stop talking. Qin Xiao, you talk too much. I said that this case will be suppressed for the time being. Don't you understand what I mean?" His expression changed.
He became stern. When Qin Xiao saw this, he hesitated to speak. He just held his hand and said nothing.
"If you want to regain Xiling, you must appease Bohai." The saint said calmly: "Otherwise, at this time, the Tang Dynasty and Bohai are at odds, and when troops are sent to recover Xiling, the Bohai side may take advantage of it. You should understand this truth.
Since you want to share your worries with me, you must keep the overall situation in mind, and some things cannot be acted on your own initiative." He frowned and said coldly: "Do you understand what I mean?"
Qin Xiao's lips moved, but after all he just said: "I understand!" He sneered in his heart, thinking that Su Yu had expected it well. The emperor really would not change his plan to marry Bohai just because of dozens of lives.
, after all, thirty-six human lives are indeed not worth mentioning in the eyes of a saint.
