Chapter 372: The nine provinces have become history, and the border patrol is the norm

Author: Confused and helpless

The position of military supervisor was established as early as the Spring and Autumn Period.

At the beginning, Duke Jing of Qi appointed Sima Rangju as the general and sent Zhuang Jia to supervise the army.

This is because Rang Ju feels that he lacks prestige and asks Duke Jing of Qi to send his confidants to help stabilize the morale of the army.

This is the military supervisor I requested.

Later, military envoys were also set up in the Han Dynasty and the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty.

From then on, the military supervisor began to change from assisting to surveillance of the generals on behalf of the lord.

But the military supervisors at this time were all temporary chores.

Until after Wu Zetian, the various vassal states of the Tang Dynasty began to use eunuchs to supervise the army.

It was also from that time that the military supervisor became a permanent position for the first time.

Later, all dynasties had military supervisors, sometimes permanently established, sometimes temporary dispatch, and sometimes temporary dispatches.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, Taizu had a very high reputation and did not set up a military supervisor in the army.

Because the person who can hold military power is Taizu's confidant.

During the reign of Emperor Tiantai, whenever the expedition was on, the army was temporarily dispatched to accompany him.

However, no military supervisor has been dispatched to the border.

Until Emperor Invesco ascended the end, the Dragon Scale Guard reported on the situation in the border areas to begin to deteriorate.

It was the first time that he sent a nine-provincial commander to patrol the border with the order.

Now Li Shouzhong proposed to send a military supervisor to supervise Wang Ziteng's army.

This made all officials feel a little amused and cry, and the military positions even gritted their teeth.

Even though the upstart wants Wang Ziteng to restrain himself, he doesn't want to have many constraints on leading his troops in the future.

Therefore, most of their eyes flashed, but no one agreed.

But the reaction of the founding lineage was particularly fierce.

“That’s exactly that!”

Jiang Zining also came out to speak, bowed to Danbi, and said loudly:

"If someone is sent to patrol the border and there is a military supervisor in charge of the Tao, who will listen to at critical moments?"

Who wouldn’t bother with an amateur following anyone who leads troops to fight?

Now, the military supervisors who are ordered to patrol the border must follow.

What about this doll?

When Kedao heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied, so someone stepped forward and said:

"I listen to his own military affairs, and the military supervisor is just responsible for supervising and recording."

They themselves didn't believe this.

Who doesn’t yearn for civil servants to control military affairs with literature?

Many scholars read two military books and think they are Yue Wumu.

"Haha! It's light!"

Chen Ruiwen glanced at the man and asked:

"Don't you know that the two Song dynasties used their literature to control the military, which led to the weak military and bullying of others?"

It is definitely not possible to lead troops by a censor, but how could he lose in his major?

Hearing this, the man immediately sneered:

"If General Chen said this, he did not know that no one could control the warrior, so that the Anshi Rebellion would be caused?"

“…”

After all, Chen Ruiwen is just a nobleman.

Although he is not as ignorant as Jia She, his understanding of history is limited after all.

No matter how evil censors of the Kedao are, they are also from Jinshi.

In addition, he has specialized in his profession.

How could Chen Ruiwen be the censor's opponent who specializes in verbal tricks?

Seeing Chen Ruiwen raise his hand, he seemed to want to solve the problem by force.

The squad officer hurriedly shouted:

"quiet!"

Seeing him let go awkwardly, many people were a little disappointed.

Yuan Chun behind the pearl curtain sighed inwardly, and asked:

"What do you think of the Lord Masters and the Marquis of Chu?"

This time, Jia Yucun realized what Yuanchun meant and immediately stepped forward and said:

"I think that if you want to send someone to supervise the army, you can also use an eunuch."

Obviously, this is support without having to supervise the military and is talking nonsense.

Because his proposal was immediately sieged unanimously.

"No!"

"How can eunuchs interfere in politics?"

"The Queen Mother must not!"

"Don't let the country be ruined with just one thought!"

“…”

When he heard that he wanted to use eunuchs, all the civil and military officials in the court changed their brilliance.

No matter which faction of officials, they immediately reached an agreement and spoke out against each other.

At this time, Jia Yucun continued slowly:

"Since all the dynasty oppose the eunuchs and military supervisors, it's better to 'use people without doubting them, and don't doubt people'."

He was once recommended by Prince Teng to take up the position of Minister of War.

Now he has joined Wang Ziteng's niece, the empress dowager who is now in charge of the affairs of the country.

So in addition to speculating that Yuanchun wanted to use Wang Ziteng, Jia Yucun was also reciprocating his favor and expressing that he had not forgotten his roots.

Seeing that he had a few words, Yuanchun played with all the officials in his palms.

He couldn't help but chuckled, but in order to maintain the majesty of the empress dowager, he refused to laugh out loud.

Then, she held back her smile and asked sideways:

"What does the marquis of Chu mean?"

Feng Yibo hesitated for a moment and said:

"I think it's better to let Lord Wang patrol the border according to the order."

As soon as these words were said, all civil and military officials looked puzzled.

Everyone knows that the little cabinet master’s opinion is important, but isn’t it equivalent to not saying it?

What we are discussing now is whether Wang Ziteng goes to the border area and whether he needs to send someone to supervise the army.

You said you asked him to patrol the border according to the order. Isn’t this going back to the previous topic?

Even Li Shouzhong was a little surprised at this time and looked at his apprentice in confusion.

The only person reacted and looked at Feng Yibo with admiration.

This person is Chen Qinzhi, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Yuanchun listened to Feng Yibo in everything, but this time she didn't understand it.

Without waiting for someone to ask, she heard her ask behind the bead curtain:

"Did the Hou of Chu say that there is no military supervisor?"

She felt that Feng Yibo meant to let Wang Ziteng patrol the border without setting up a military supervisor.

But Feng Yibo shook his head when he heard this, and then bowed to Dan Biyi:

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, there will be no nine provinces."

As soon as these words were spoken, the civil and military officials in the court became even more confused.
