"Sir, what do you mean?" After sending Jiang Wanzai away, Zhao Bing handed the Secretariat reorganization plan he approved on the table to Ying Jieyan, but the old man read it and handed the Secretariat reorganization plan
The three words were ticked off, which made him very puzzled and said in shock.
"Your Highness, since the opening of the mansion is a foregone conclusion, why should we be so secretive about it?" Ying Jie said with a stern smile.
"Haha, I'm really confused!" Zhao Bing was awakened by the words, patted his forehead and said with a smile. He thought that the old man had regretted it just now. He knew that Jiang Wanzai was always cautious in his actions, and since he promised, he would do it with his heart.
Do. To put it bluntly, the Queen Mother is a housewife with no ideas. She always follows the old Queen Mother Xie's instructions and listens to Jiang Wanzai's opinions on all major matters. Therefore, the matter of opening the Qiongzhou government is already a certainty.
In this case, according to the official system of the Song Dynasty, the staff of high-ranking officials who left the town were originally appointed by the court and were not allowed to recruit themselves. This was used to strengthen the centralization of power and at the same time monitor whether the chief officials had done anything illegal to prevent the formation of local separatist regimes.
There are exceptions to everything. In the early days of the Song Dynasty, after the Jingkang Incident and the Mongolian invasion of the south, in order to consolidate the territory,
In order to strengthen the defense capabilities of key areas and resist enemy invasion, local officials who leave the town are given the power to take charge of local military affairs, allowing them to recruit local troops and create their own armies, intervene in the local economy, intervene in local taxation, issue currency, recruit and appoint
Subordinate officials, appointing local officials, and even allowing the opening of schools to select talents, are like a separatist warlord.
Of course, the periods when great powers were granted were all times of war or turmoil, and they were done as a last resort. In the first two times, after the regime was stabilized, the court took back power in time to prevent it from becoming powerful and forming new local forces. Now the Song Dynasty has
In name only, in order to delay defeat
At the time of his death, the imperial court once again delegated power to a greater extent than before, not only to the imperial officials, but also to bandits and surrendered enemy civilians who were willing to accept the recruitment, giving them centralized power. As a result, the imperial court had actually lost control of the local area.
But it has to be done.
In this way, all the officials in the royal palace could be directly appointed by Zhao Bing, and most of the Song Dynasty was occupied, the local government was disintegrated, and the officials appointed by the imperial court died or rebelled, leaving a lot of positions free, and he could make the decision.
Therefore, it would be meaningless to set up this obscure affairs bureau. In addition, everyone was in a hurry to escape and did not want to waste any more time, so he believed that his appointment would not last long, so there was no need for the team to waste their emotions.
"Your Highness, I think that since the overall situation has been decided, the Secretariat will not move for the time being, but in the future, the General Administration Bureau and the Craftsmanship Bureau should still be merged into the inner government, and the personal guards should also be expanded, all of which will be under the direct control of Your Highness." Ying Jieyan added.
, he just saw His Highness’ modifications
Most of the copywriting he requested was not touched, but the status of the General Bureau and the Craftsmanship Bureau were elevated to a position alongside the shogunate, and two separate bureaus were set up for the original Secretariat. This made him feel that this Secretariat was by no means something he saw.
It's just a mystery.
It is easy to understand that His Highness controls the General Bureau and the Craftsmanship Bureau. The General Bureau is in charge of the allocation of property, which can be used to control all parties. The Craftsmanship Bureau seems to be a hodgepodge now, but the weapons makers in it are responsible for the work of manufacturing new weapons, which is related to the battle.
The victory or defeat needs to be kept secret for the time being. However, His Highness the Secretariat refuses to merge into the shogunate. He feels that this child is really not simple. He not only has a benevolent side, but also a dark side.
Today, His Highness said that he wanted to be a bad person, and the person who did the 'bad things' must be the Secretariat. What he did must be some ulterior things, and even involved His Highness's affairs. Ying Jie Yan was very clear, and it involved
The less you know about royal secrets, the better, and you will live longer. It would be better for everyone to let go of the relationship as early as possible.
"As you wish, sir." Zhao Bing nodded, knowing that Ying Jieyan had already understood his hint. Since everyone is smart, there is no need to waste words.
"Your Highness, Jiang Zongjie is the queen of the generals, and he is kind and sensible. Why don't we merge him and that group of sergeants into the personal guard?" Ying Jiyan suggested again.
"Sir, you have a close relationship with Jiang Mansion. Do you know what Jiang Zongjie is good at?" Zhao Bing asked without commenting and was silent for a moment.
"Your Highness, Zong Jie is also quite smart. He may look naughty, but he is also a kind and honest person. His martial arts and knowledge are not outstanding compared to those of the other brothers, but he has mastered Mr. Gushan's ability to control people." Ying Jieyan replied.
"Since he is good at the art of canoodling, let's give him some advice and let him join the army in Dutianjian! It is far away from weapons and can keep him safe." Zhao Bing knew that this ancient art of canoodling is not what modern people understand.
It’s just as simple as looking at Feng Shui and choosing a tomb. They can be said to be ancient geographers and geologists. They have an understanding of the topography, landforms and soil conditions. This is also the part Du Tianjian is responsible for, so asking him to go there is considered human.
Make the most of it.
"I thought that it was entrusted by the commander of the palace, so it would be more appropriate to stay with His Highness. It would also be an explanation for Mr. Jiang." Ying Jieyan heard that His Highness meant that he did not want to keep Jiang Zongjie by his side, but he did not know where he had offended him.
Your Highness, after thinking about it, he reminded me.
"Mr. Gushan has always been fair. Although he misses his nephews and relatives, he has been unwilling to ask for anything for them. But today he speaks to me for an adopted son. Don't you think it's strange, sir?" Zhao Bing said worriedly,
Just when Jiang Wanzai agreed to speak for himself, the cold look he looked at him gave him a shuddering feeling. He always felt that there was something wrong in it but couldn't think of anything wrong. But it was Ying Jieyan who mentioned it.
Jiang Zongjie, let him think of something.
"As His Highness said, everyone has family ties. Mr. Gushan may have figured it out after being enlightened by His Highness today!" Ying Jieyan felt that His Highness was overly concerned and said with a nonchalant smile.
"No, I think it's Ma Dai of Xishu." Zhao Bing pondered for a moment and patted the shorter ones before saying.
"Your Highness is talking about Ma Dai who was beheaded by Zhuge Kongming, the Prime Minister of Shu, to kill the traitor general Wei Yan!" Ying Jieyan was stunned for a moment and asked.
"This is the person I'm talking about!" Zhao Bing nodded solemnly.
Ying Jie Yan was shocked when he heard this. He knew this allusion very well. After Liu Bei's death, Wei Yan followed Zhuge Liang to quell the rebellion of "Southern Barbarian King" Meng Huo. He proposed the "Ziwu Valley Strategy" during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, but it was not adopted by Zhuge Liang.
, so he ignored Zhuge Liang's military orders when he was ordered to attack Jigu and was almost defeated. Later, when Zhuge Liang was praying to heaven to extend his life, he went into the tent to report the news of the enemy's invasion, and accidentally knocked down the main lamp, causing the prayer to fail. Before Zhuge Liang died, he ordered Yang Yitong
Wei Yan was dissatisfied with this and led his army to counterattack Yang Yi after Zhuge Liang died of illness. Yang Yi provoked Wei Yan according to Zhuge Liang's legacy. After Wei Yan shouted "Who dares to kill me", he was killed by Ma Dai who was lurking aside.
.
"Your Highness, are you worried too much? Mr. Gushan is so loyal to the royal family. How could he have such thoughts? And if he had doubts, how could he agree to persuade the Queen Mother to give His Highness the place to open the palace?" It was so sudden that Ying Jie Yan couldn't believe it.
Jiang Wanzai would do such a disobedient thing.
"I don't want to believe it either. Maybe I was too impatient today and spoke too much, which made Mr. Jiang suspicious and worried that I would do something detrimental to the court and His Majesty. But he cannot judge based on this that I intend to rebel.
I will lay a trap for later use." Zhao Bing said with a wry smile, thinking that this old man is too suspicious. When my short-lived brother is done playing next year, you all have to beg me to be the emperor, so why should I rebel?
, it’s a pity that they don’t know, and they can’t say it themselves!
"I'd rather believe it or not. It's up to His Highness to arrange that." Ying Jieyan felt suspicious after thinking about the whole thing. It was related to His Highness's life and death. He couldn't overthink it. "Well, if it's really like what Your Highness said,
I’m afraid this Wei Yan is not just Your Highness, I’m afraid I’m one of them too!”
"Haha, I originally set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch." Zhao Bing looked at Ying Jieyan, who also had a grimace on his face, and said teasingly.
"What a poem, but was it written by Your Highness?"
"Where do good poems come from? It's just based on feelings and nonsense." He accidentally said it again. The author of this poem, his father, is still unknown. Zhao Bing was busy dealing with the old man's questioning...
…………
'A sneeze, a sneeze!'
"Did he catch a cold, or did he spy..." Jiang Wanzai, who was riding on the horse, suddenly sneezed twice and felt a little panicked. He reined in his horse, slowed down, looked in the direction he came from, and murmured to himself,
"Hmph, as long as he has evil thoughts, don't blame me."
Today, under His Highness's persuasion, Jiang Wanzai had intended to assist, but when he accidentally saw the Ying Jie Yan written on the table about the configuration and personnel arrangement of the first officer of the Secretariat, he found that its establishment involved both the military and the government.
And the functions are complete. He suddenly realized that His Highness's intention to open the mansion was not just a matter of a day or two, but had already been planned.
Afterwards, His Highness' words became more intense and he wanted to be a hero, and his various performances and words also revealed that he would do anything to achieve his goals. Then it would be best if he could get permission from the court. If not, he would definitely find another opportunity to leave by force.
.And there is already a guard in the palace that cannot be underestimated. If they are intercepted, they may kill each other, and it is not impossible to kidnap the Queen Mother and Her Majesty.
At this moment, Jiang Wanzai remembered that Ying Jieyan once said that His Highness met an immortal in his dream. Two verses left on the table were "Guan Bao is also divided into horses, and the river is cut off and the water flows by itself." There is also a nursery rhyme that has been widely circulated recently.
'The waves are high and the ship is dangerous, it is difficult for the king and the little king to become a couple'. These two unrelated things seem to point to the inevitable separation of the two kings. Combined with His Highness's actions, he has to believe that there is God's will in the dark.
And you should also act in accordance with nature.
When Jiang Wanzai remembered the last sentence of the verse, "The earthworm subdues the dragon", he further thought that although King Wei was the grandson of the dragon, he was still an insect in the mud compared with His Majesty. If he subdued the dragon, wouldn't it mean that he would kill the king and usurp the throne in the future?
Ying Jie Yanming had known his intention for a long time, but he still supported him with all his heart. He obviously had a disloyal heart. However, he had to admit that His Highness's intelligence and resourcefulness were far superior to His Majesty's today, especially his perseverance in adversity.
His character of never giving up until he achieved his goal made him love talents and he couldn't bear the pain to kill him.
After weighing between obeying God's will and fulfilling his duty, Jiang Wanzai made a difficult decision: it would be better to keep King Wei away from the court. However, he still left a backup plan in case something unexpected happened, and Zhao Bing only guessed
Chapter completed!
