"Li You?" Yang Jiefu frowned and waved his hand, "Let's listen and see what achievements this Jiazhou nephew has made?" Recently, the new emperor ascended the throne and the political situation has not yet been decided. Yang Jiefu took a lot of effort to sort out the pattern in the court, and for a moment he threw the young man who had caused a lot of trouble for him. Now Yuan Rukui's words made him turn Li You out of his mind. Now it seems that it's time to deal with these noble remnants?

"As for the order." Yuan Rukui opened the memorial and began to recite. The memorial said nothing more than that Li You had excellent training in Yunzhou. He led 500 regiments to defeat the Hunyuan Sect's rioters, defeated thousands of rioters in one battle, and beheaded hundreds of them. Of course, the contribution of Yunzhou civil servants to plan and strategize, and the rest were some words such as requesting rewards.

"Five hundred regiments have defeated thousands of chaotic thieves?" Hu Songnian, the deputy general, couldn't help but interrupt. Zhang Guo led tens of thousands of troops to the four Hedong prefectures to combat the thieves. Although he had won many battles, he did not have such an exaggerated record. This aroused his vigilance, "Prime Minister, this person is our great enemy, so you must not indulge."

"Yunzhou is located in a remote location. What if he is allowed to recruit a regiment training? The reorganization of the imperial guards is imminent. As long as the hundreds of thousands of imperial guards and the Taiwei Mansion are in our hands, these nobles will not be able to make trouble!" Lu Chengqing, the Minister of Personnel, did not agree. The Great Wei has always focused on defending the inside and the outside. The military allocation in the capital exceeded the total of the border troops and the prefecture troops. In the face of such a large military advantage, the number of troops under Li You is not worth mentioning at all. "What we need to be prepared for now is not the regiment training in Yunzhou, but he took the opportunity to return to Beijing and join forces with the nobles in Beijing to compete with us for the Grand Guard and the imperial guards in the Beijing camp."

"It is not easy to train the group." Wang Jihe, the Minister of War, also trained a group of trainers in his hometown. With the strength of the Wang family in Taiyuan, they only recruited more than 3,000 people. After training for several months, they could only defend the city and fight, or bully refugees. Even attacking bandits in the mountains encountered setbacks. He thought that Li You's current strength could not pose a threat at all. "See the following officials, this Li You wanted to quell the rioters in Yunzhou, but it would not work in one or two years. By that time, the imperial guards and the Taiwei Mansion of the Beijing Camp had already been controlled by us, and even if he made meritorious service, he would not cause too much storm."

"Master Hu was too worried, he was just a refugee. Zhou Bofu, who was under Li You, was also a powerful general. Perhaps he led the imperial guards to storm the refugees for a while and then scattered. The regiment training could not only follow behind and harvest the heads." Another civil servant with a little military experience came out and said, "Even so, Li You's subordinates were injured by 200 people, and his military achievements were average. Zhang Guo, who quelled the rebellion in the four Hedong Prefectures, killed thousands of rioters and only injured three or five hundred people, which was much better than Li You."

"Let him continue to stay in Yunzhou! The military achievements of our Great Wei are the enemy in the north of Mo, followed by the island barbarians in the east sea, and the southwest chieftains again. What great achievements can be made of the extermination of the riots?" The Ministry of War of the Great Wei issued a beheading reward for these opponents. The head reward of a cavalry in the north of Mo was 20 taels of silver, and the head reward of the island barbarians in the east sea was 10 taels, and there was only three taels left in the southwest chieftains. As for the riots in the territory, unless they are famous thieves, they would not have a penny reward. So Yang Jiefu made the decision to deal with this memorial, "The prefect of Yunzhou is planning and should be rewarded for the first merit of this battle. After the riots are pacified, they should be praised. Li You led his army to fight, and he also made contributions. However, the gains of only a few hundred refugees are not enough to allow the court to award the reward. Let's encourage him with kind words."

Most of the achievements in planning the war in the previous battle were controlled by the Taiwei Mansion, and those who reaped this contribution were the nobles of the Taiwei Mansion. The merits of leading the army and charging into battle were divided by the leading generals. As for civil servants, at most, they got a piece of the pie from supplying food and grass, which made civil servants unable to get too many benefits from military merits.

This time, Yang Jiefu directly gave the contribution of strategizing to the prefect of Yunzhou, which gave the civil servants another way to make achievements. Moreover, there is another advantage of strategizing that it is easy to shirk responsibility. If it is defeated, it is definitely not a problem with their army. It must be the leading generals who are afraid of fighting, or they did not fight completely according to the strategy they set out. The loser was easily thrown to the generals. If the war was won, the civil servants who were strategizing should be the first contribution, followed by civil servants who were supplying food and grass. As for the generals and soldiers who were fighting, it would be good to give them some leftover soup.

The civil servant doesn't like this model of only benefits but no harm? If he loses, he will take the blame, and if he wins, he will be his own. He can also take this opportunity to completely suppress the generals and give them filial piety. Whether it is making meritorious or making money, this is a great opportunity. Some of the people in the class have even begun to think about how to make a military achievements there recently and get promoted and make money.

"The Prime Minister said this very much." Yuan Rukui immediately understood the meaning of Yang Jiefu's words. If he continued to operate according to the model he proposed, the civil servants would completely overwhelm the generals in the future. In the future, those generals who were arrogant and able to compete with these civil servants would have to act with others.

"The Prime Minister is a successful country, and we are far from the point of view." Although Lu Chengqing, the Minister of Personnel, privately complained about Yang Jiefu's dominance of the court for many years, he had to admire him at this moment. Sure enough, Yang Jiefu was indeed his true nature to get to this point. Just when they were thinking about how to prevent Li You, Yang Jiefu fundamentally defeated the status of the military generals. If he continued to implement what he said, within a few years, the situation of Chinese nobles and lowly in the Great Wei Kingdom would be a foregone conclusion. This is the work that a prime minister should have! The method they had been entangled in the details just now is really not clear.

"If you want to do this, you must first take the Taiwei Mansion." Yang Jiefu touched his beard and said, "Now the right to verify his military achievements is controlled by the Taiwei Mansion. Only in this way can this rule be implemented."

"Although the Prime Minister is relieved, the nobles with profound qualifications in the capital have been cleaned up now, and no one can take on this important task, and the position of Taiwei will definitely fall into our hands." If, according to the previous practice, after Qiu Yuande resigned as Taiwei, the top nobles like Cao Yutian, would generally be taken over by Duke of Lu Cao Yutian. Now these people either died with the Tang Kuo tribe or died inexplicably, and there is no one who can suppress the army anymore. In addition, with the support of the empress dowager in the court, there would be no suspense for the ownership of this position. (To be continued.)
