Chapter 5106: The boy is an official and takes over the army
Liu Yu's mouth curled up slightly, his brows gradually furrowed, and he said thoughtfully: "But in this way, unlike what we have always imagined, breaking the hereditary transmission of power and turning it into a capable person,
Under mediocrity, everyone has the opportunity to legally and reasonably own the world of their own status within a normal political system. There is conflict. What will others think of me? Under the banner of fairness and justice, I will carry out my own hereditary rule as emperor.
Are you a hypocrite on the road, just like Wang Mang?"
Wang Miaoyin shook her head gently: "As long as Brother Yu, your original intention remains unchanged, as long as you yourself are not corrupted by power, become greedy and eager for power, and really want to pass on to your children and grandchildren. Moreover,
If our ambitions cannot be realized in our lifetime, then we must select people among our successors who can inherit our ambitions and let them pass them on so that the people and the government will not die."
Liu Yu sighed: "That's what I was worried about just now, Miaoyin, if you say that our children should be sent out to control the states to ensure that the emperor's position does not come from my Liu family, then no matter what outsiders think,
These children's own thoughts are the most important in the future. Do you think that they hold great power, have heavy troops in their hands, and go out to control major states? They will easily give up their power and give up the throne and even the position of governor of each state to those who
Someone who is not my descendant?"
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "Brother Yu, I think you are a little worried. As I said just now, whether this throne will always belong to your Liu family does not depend on others, but on whether you persist in your original intention. This emperor
The road to the emperor is just a stop-gap measure to realize our great ideal. It doesn’t mean that you really want to be the emperor. If you really want to be the emperor, then this power will naturally be in the hands of your descendants forever. But if you don’t want to
, then you have many ways to restrain and control your descendants after ascending to the throne of God, so that they will not completely decide the entire world."
Liu Yu softly said "Oh": "How to restrain and control them? Let them leave the prefectures and let the prince be the crown prince. That is because they are my sons. Logically speaking, blood inheritance is worthy of reliance.
But firstly, they will compete among themselves for the throne and power, and secondly, they will not be willing to hand over this power to outsiders. This is contrary to my idea of establishing a public world, how can I solve it?"
Wang Miaoyin said calmly: "In order to keep the world in the hands of people you trust, you must make such arrangements before ascending to the throne. Otherwise, once you usurp the Jin Dynasty and establish yourself, replacing the Sima clan, the generals in the vassal towns in various places may rebel.
Yes, this is a matter of stance. Even if you are your best brothers, such as your subordinates outside, who work with you and are ministers of the Sima clan in the Jin Dynasty, they can accept it, but if you ascend the throne as emperor, they will become
I'm afraid some people won't accept you as your minister. Isn't Liu Yi, the person you are most worried about, the person least able to accept being your minister? What I said about sending your own flesh and blood out of Jingzhou is just to avoid
Is someone like Liu Yi going to be your enemy in Jingzhou?"
Liu Yu nodded: "But my children have just been born and are still in their infancy. How can they have the ability to govern a large state and the world?"
Wang Miaoyin said seriously: "So you have to give them titles and official positions in the name of these children based on your merits, and let them become the nominal governors of these places as children. General, but in the shogunate, you have to be arranged
The people you absolutely rely on actually manage the government. In this way, the name belongs to your Liu family, but the real power still belongs to the generals of the Beifu Army or the children of the aristocratic families you trust. Before you take the throne, the power of your Liu family can be rooted in the states.
Each county, not just one Jingkou."
"Of course, you'd better not use someone like Liu Daolian who is both incompetent and greedy and brings harm to the people. Give him a false title so that he can live in peace and prosperity. It's enough to have an empty official. He must not be appointed to other places.
, harming the people, including the people you choose to assist the government in the future, you must be very careful. Some of your young marshals now are very capable in fighting, but they are not as public-minded and honest as you. This is what you must do.
Pay attention."
Liu Yu sighed: "Now we can only fight with them first. I gradually discovered that once a person becomes rich, he will change. Even if he himself does not change, the people around him will also affect him, just like Dao Lian
, although he is not very smart and even a little stupid, he was an honest farmer when he was in Jingkou. But once he has power, he will be surrounded by many sycophants who encourage him to eat, drink, have fun and abuse his power.
Let him serve as the internal history of Pengcheng for a while, which made the people of the six counties in Jiangbei boil with resentment. This was a big mistake on my part."
Having said this, Liu Yu paused: "The same is true for Chang Min. Their three brothers were the first brothers to join the army and serve the country with us. They were together when they were young, but now as his official position is getting bigger and bigger,
He has become more and more greedy and afraid of death. Wherever he holds an official position, he has become a loathsome to the people, and has even affected the reputation of our entire Beifu brothers. But after all, he was a veteran when the army started, and he has been leading the army these years.
Like Liu Yi, he also has his own legion. If I want to transfer him to the court as an official, I have to use his legion. This is a very sensitive matter. Now the brothers in Beifu have soldiers as generals.
The situation of legion becoming private property is getting more and more serious, Miaoyin, what do you think I should do?"
Wang Miaoyin said calmly: "If you want to realize your emperor's road, you must not have this phenomenon of generals and young commanders supporting their troops for a long time. The reason why I want you to get your children out of the towns and states is that
In order to have the title of accepting the military power of generals and army commanders, you can make Yizhen and Yifu as governors, and have army commanders like Zhuge Changmin as generals and state Sima to assist them. In this way, they should be able to
Take comfort in the fact that a baby cannot take away their rights."
"But at the same time, you can promote many emerging officers and soldiers who have achieved meritorious service in battle. The glory and wealth of these people will no longer be Zhuge Changmin and others, but your sons. If
If the generals around your son are appointed by people you trust, they will slowly make friends with the people in the legion, and gradually win over Zhuge Changmin and his subordinates. Over time, they can change defenses and move to other places.
Use similar means to break up and reorganize these legions, which are currently only taking orders from major generals and marshals, and finally turn them into an army completely controlled by your son." (End of this chapter)
