Chapter 364 Jiedu Envoy System

"Yes, this is newly made paper!"

Zhang Yue gave a simple explanation and stopped explaining.

Han Jiang and Guo Kai temporarily suppressed their curiosity and focused on the words on the paper.

Zhang Yue proposed a total of three reform ideas on paper.

One is to turn the Western Region into counties and implement the same system as the Hexi region.

The second is to implement the feudal system and ask the emperor to transfer the feudal princes to the Western Regions.

The third one is to implement the Jiedushi system in the Western Regions.

"What do you think?"

Zhang Yue asked after the three of them had finished reading.

Guo Kai was the first to speak, "Your Majesty, there is absolutely no way for you to establish counties in the Western Region at this time!"

After thinking for a while, Cai Ting said, "Given the current situation in the Western Regions, it is absolutely impossible for the ruler to establish prefectures or counties, otherwise the incident in Zhuya may happen again..."

Han Jiang was silent at first, but after a while he spoke up, "Feudalism and the Jieduzhi system may coexist, but the county system is absolutely impossible?"

Zhang Yue saw that all three of them were opposed to the system of prefectures and counties, and he couldn't help asking, "Why do you oppose the system of prefectures and counties?"

Han Jiang said, "The system of prefectures and counties has its inherent benefits, but now the Western Region is surrounded by enemies on all sides... If we unite, we will be strong, if we divide, we will be weak... If there are prefectures and counties, and each county does its own thing... how can we suppress the barbarians..."

Cai Ting also added, "If the counties are unable to suppress the barbarians, Chang'an literature will inevitably advocate the idea of ​​abandoning the defense... By then, all our ten years of planning will be in vain..."

Guo Kai also said loudly, "What Cai Gong said is true... Only by uniting the Western Regions can we suppress the barbarians... We must not separate counties... At least not yet!"

Zhang Yue nodded when he heard the words. The reactions of the three people made Zhang Yue feel very satisfied.

In fact, Zhang Yue also understood that without the efforts of three generations, it would be impossible to establish counties in the Western Regions.

If it is done forcefully, on the one hand it will lead to the dispersion of the Han army, on the other hand it will also cause the countries in the Western Regions to be suspicious!

Of course, the power and status of Zhang Yue himself will also be affected by the travel of counties at this time.

If it is a county, Zhang Yue can only serve as a general and lead a county as a prefect.

Regardless of public or private interests, Zhang Yue still hopes to implement the Jiedushi system.

However, the military governor Zhang Yue planned to implement was the military governor during the Tang Gaozong period.

Jiedushi only managed military affairs and defended against foreign enemies.

In addition, there were established military envoys to dispatch military supplies and camp envoys to manage the fields.

It will never be like the Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty who had the military, civilian and financial power at the same time.

After Zhang Yue thought about it for a while, he proposed to the three of them his specific ideas for Jiedushi.

"What do you think?"

Facing Zhang Yue's inquiry, Guo Kai first expressed his agreement and rubbed his hands.

"With Luntai as the center of the Western Region, and with the support of various towns, our Han Dynasty can not only suppress other countries, but these towns even have the power to expand externally!"

While talking about these, Guo Kaixin had already thought of Suiye, Chigu and Hezhong.

The more he talked, the more excited he became, "If the princes set up military envoys in the three places of the river, Suiye, and Chigu... I, the powerful man, can take over all the right territories of the Xiongnu and the Yuezhi, Kangju, and Dawan, and poison all the countries...

"

After thinking about it for a while, Han Jiang said, "I am not familiar with the place in the river, but Wusun, the prosperous people should belong to the Han Dynasty!"

Zhang Yue looked at Cai Ting with a smile on his face, "What do Mr. Cai think?"

There was not much joy on Cai Ting's face. He cupped his hands in the direction of Chang'an, "Although your idea is good, you must first convince Chang'an..."

At this point, he organized his words and continued, "I'm afraid the princes of Chang'an will try their best to prevent this!"

When Zhang Yue heard this, his face showed something like a smile but not a smile.

Seeing Zhang Yue's expression, Cai Ting couldn't help asking, "Junhou, something has changed in Chang'an!"

Zhang Yue smiled, took out the letter from Du Ling, and sent it to Cai Ting.

Cai Ting opened the letter curiously and was quickly attracted by the content on the letter.

He looked at the contents of the letter, and a surprised expression gradually appeared on his face.

Guo Kai looked at Cai Ting and then at Zhang Yue, equally curious about the contents of the letter.

After several cups of tea, he finally couldn't help but ask.

"Mr. Cai, what exactly does the letter say?"

Although Han Jiang didn't ask, it was obvious from the expression on his face that he was quite interested.

Cai Ting heard Guo Kai's question and looked up at Guo Kai. He did not answer immediately, but continued to stare at the letter and read it word by word.

It took him a long time to raise his head again.

"well!"

He couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that the situation in Chang'an would evolve into such a situation!"

After hearing what Cai Ting said, this time not only Guo Kai but also Han Jiang wanted to see the contents of the letter.

Both of them cast questioning looks at Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Second Master, please help yourself!"

Hearing Zhang Yue's words, Guo Kai suddenly grabbed the letter and read it.

Soon he exclaimed in a low voice, "Why did Huo Guang and Shangguan Jie suddenly fall out..."

In fact, it's not surprising that Guo Kai was so surprised. In fact, in the eyes of many outsiders, Huo Guang and Shangguan Jie were wearing the same pair of pants.

The two are not only sons and daughters, but also political allies.

When the emperor was still alive, the two of them had been close ministers of the emperor and supported each other.

After the young emperor succeeded to the throne, the two also maintained a close relationship, which can be said to be a tacit understanding of cooperation.

Whenever Huo Guang goes out on vacation, Shangguan Jie often handles state affairs on his behalf.

It was precisely because of this that Guo Kai was so surprised. No one thought that the two of them would reach this point so quickly.

Shangguan Jie unexpectedly formed an alliance with Sang Hongyang and the eldest princess of E to fight against Huo Guang.

Guo Kai muttered, "This Shangguan Jie is so unwise that he abandoned Huo Guang and formed an alliance with Sang Hongyang, Lord Gai, and King Yan..."

While muttering, he shook his head and sighed. In Guo Kai's opinion, Shangguan Jie, as the former emperor's minister to the emperor, really had no reason to collude with King Yan.

"Alas!" Guo Kai handed the letter to Han Jiang with a sigh.

After Han Jiang read the letter, his focus was different.

He frowned and said, "The cavalry general is critically ill... Such a great general may be unable to support himself..."

Having said this, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Yue, and said seriously, "Have you decided to support Huo Guang?"

Zhang Yue did not deny it, "Chang'an must not be in chaos. The only person in Chang'an who can bring peace to the world is Huo Guang..."

At this time, Cai Ting suddenly realized what Zhang Yue had done over the years and his arrangements in Chang'an.

Only then did he realize that Zhang Yue had actually started laying out plans in Chang'an many years ago.

At this moment, Zhang Yue became mysterious and unpredictable in his heart again.

Han Jiang continued, "Nowadays, the eyes of virtuous literature in Chang'an are focused on libraries and official schools..."

"The general is in urgent need of the support of the princes... In this way, setting up Jiedushi in the Western Region will be a sure thing..."

Speaking of this, Han Jiang couldn't help but excitedly took pictures of several cases.

It's no wonder he behaves like this. If the Western Region implements the Jiedushi system, then he must be the Jiedushi of a town.

Guo Kai also said excitedly at this time, "What Han Hou said is true, the king is wise, this is indeed a good time..."
