Cao Su participated in the affairs of the General's Mansion.
The generals held discussions all night, and in the second half of the night, they began to discuss Prime Minister Yuwen's three edicts.
Among them, the one most relevant to everyone is the edict to reduce the imperial army.
Many generals expressed dissatisfaction.
Reducing the establishment of the Forbidden Army not only reduces the military power in their hands, but also reduces the financial power in their hands.
For example, in the past, if he had an establishment of 10,000 people, he could get the food and salary from the court. If the quota was full, it would be the food and salary for the 10,000-strong army.
So as a general in the army, it is reasonable for him to take a slight cut of 10% or 20%.
Now that the imperial court wants to reduce the imperial army, food and salary will also be reduced accordingly.
The 10% to 20% that he originally withheld would become less, which directly affected their financial resources in disguise.
Destroying a person's wealth is like killing his parents.
Therefore, the generals below were all anxious and suggested that Yang Rui directly write to Yu Wenji tomorrow to veto the third edict.
Yang Rui is not stupid either. Now that the power of the Central Committee has been removed, his brother has not woken up yet.
To attack Yu Wenji now is to seek death.
So he immediately rejected this suggestion and prevaricated and explained: "What Yu Wenji means is not to reduce the military power of the current monarchs, but to send some generals to guard the four directions."
"Bandits are everywhere in the world. If we don't suppress them vigorously, this year's harvest will be smaller again."
"The harvest will be reduced, so we will have to increase taxes in places where the harvest can be received. At the same time, the food and pay for the imperial army will also be reduced. It will be difficult for the army to move out and suppress the bandits from all directions."
What Yang Rui is talking about is the principle of vicious cycle, and everyone can understand it immediately.
At this time, many people secretly turned their attention to Cao Su.
Unexpectedly, Cao Su was very perceptive. When someone looked at him, he immediately looked back.
The other person was so frightened that he pretended to look away inadvertently, and his heart skipped a beat with a guilty conscience.
Yang Rui said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry. When the time comes, you will definitely be on duty like the Forbidden Army. Do you still want to be assigned to work in a bitter cold place for the rest of your life?"
He also understood everyone's thoughts and coughed dryly and said: "Generally speaking, banditry is more serious in the north and west, and there are more horse bandits, so more cavalry may be used in combat."
After he said this, many people focused their attention on Cao Su.
Cao Su looked very indifferent and had no choice but to live or die. This made many people breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that this matter could be done.
That's right. Although Cao Su was General Pingxi, he was only twenty years old and his qualifications were still relatively young. If he wasn't released to guard and train, who would be released?
Cao Su sat there, a little surprised.
I was just thinking about how to leave the political whirlpool of this divine capital, but I didn't expect that I would be given the opportunity.
He suddenly felt that his reaction was a little too dull at this moment?
So I pretended to show some anger to express my loss and anger.
Everyone:..........
Someone came out to smooth things over and said, "It doesn't have to be us. Previously, Wang Xian had won over many captains of the imperial army. These are the losers, and they all joined the eunuchs. In my opinion, these people should be allowed to go to the frontier."
There is a big difference between the frontier and the gods. If you go to the frontier, it is like being sent away.
Therefore, most normal people are unwilling to leave the capital of God.
Cao Su didn't say anything more, and seemed relatively silent during the rest of the discussion.
After the discussion was over, Wei Kai came specifically to see Cao Su.
The two found a pavilion in the general's residence to discuss matters.
Everyone knew that Wei Kai, Cao Su, and Wang Meng were fellow villagers from the same place. It was normal for fellow villagers to chat with each other. Therefore, when the two of them met alone in the pavilion, no one who was not discerning would come over to join in the fun.
Cao Su asked in a deep voice: "Master Wei, is it true that the right general can't wake up?"
Wei Kai shook his head, his face serious.
The general on the right seems to have been injured more seriously than the general. He is lying there now and may fly to the west at any time. Once the general on the right dies, Cao Su has completely lost his direct support in the court. If he wants to continue to move forward steadily, he can
Must find new thighs.
But at this moment, Cao Su has already thought of going outside to build a business, so it is not a big problem if the court has a backer, it is best, and if there is no backer, it is not a big problem.
Wei Kai believed that in the early days of Cao Su's establishment, he most needed the help of such a court elder, so he believed that the serious injury of the right general Qin Hu temporarily left the field, which had a great impact on Cao Su.
He said in a deep voice: "Yan Da's archery skills are actually so strong. If you encounter him on the battlefield in the future, you should be more careful."
Yan Da used his magical power and took a treasured bow and arrows. The second-grade warrior was seriously injured by one arrow, which directly changed the entire battle situation.
In comparison, Cao Su led 20,000 people to kill one round, but he was not as influential as Yan Da with one arrow.
Cao Su sighed and said, "It's a pity that my body skills are not good either. If that arrow had hit me, I wouldn't have been able to dodge it."
Cao Su has been working hard to practice the movement skills, but the progress of the Star Reaching Technique is very slow. He has also asked Wang Meng and Wei Kai for advice on this matter.
Wang Meng's advice to him was to master the Thunder Sword first. After a period of practice, Cao Su had gradually reached the threshold of the Thunder Sword, and his swordsmanship gradually took on the charm of the Thunder Sword.
Wei Kai couldn't help Cao Su with regard to training.
Now Cao Su's martial arts far surpasses him.
Wei Kai said silently: "The imperial court is in turmoil and the situation is endlessly chaotic. It would definitely be better if we had one more body skill to protect our lives."
Cao Su also knew this truth, but unfortunately he was slow in practicing martial arts, and the current situation was unpredictable, so he was not allowed to stay in seclusion for many days to practice martial arts. This was why he was determined to find another way out.
His vision has already reached a historical dimension that is higher than that of ordinary people.
"You don't have to worry too much about reducing the imperial army."
"You should still be allowed to take up the post of captain of Changshui that the general promised before. Now the Ministry of War and the general have agreed. It only depends on whether Lieutenant Rong agrees. If he agrees, you can express it.
Play to the emperor."
When Wei Kai said this, his face looked strange.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The main reason is that the performance is just a formality.
The little emperor didn't know how to refuse. The ministers had finished the process, the performance was over, and the only thing left was to directly declare the edict.
Cao Su had no impression of Taiwei Rong. He had only seen the son of Taiwei Rong, who was a very arrogant Yamen.
During this incident in the Imperial City, Lieutenant Rong acted wisely and did not take a clear stand. Until Yu Wenji appeared at the end, Lieutenant Rong caught wind of something and appeared with Yu Wenji. As one of the three nobles, he sat on the throne.
Taking the throne of Conglong Zongzong.
Nowadays, in the court, the words of these old men carry great weight.
Cao Sudan smiled and didn't seem to care much.
Captain Changshui?
That's not what he meant.
Wei Kai thought of another thing and whispered: "Also, you should resign from the position of Jingyao Division as soon as possible. Now that the imperial court is in chaos, the three divisions under the direct control of the emperor have no future."
"In the Arch Guard Department, after you have achieved what you should strive for, you can resign from this position. Don't stay in the Arch Guard Department anymore."
When Cao Su joined the Gongwei Division, he was also the name appointed by the emperor. What valued Cao Su was his loyalty and his innocent background.
Now that the imperial power is weak and the position of the three divisions is awkward, it is the right choice for Cao Su to escape as soon as possible.
Cao Su smiled and said he knew.
But what he resigned at the same time was not just the position of Baihu of the Jingyao Division?
........
........
For several days in a row, the imperial court issued several decrees.
Under the decree of Right Prime Minister Yu Wenji, the entire city of God was ordered to be clear and bright, and the scene in the court hall took on a completely new look.
But Yu Wenji was a very powerful person, and any voice with different opinions in the court would be ostracized by him. Some veterans of the court, who had cooperated for a few days, felt that they couldn't stand it anymore and ran to the emperor to complain.
The new emperor was only 11 years old. He had no courage and could not even govern himself. Naturally, he could not do anything to Yu Wenyi.
This situation did not get much better until the emperor's new empress dowager, Empress Yan, stepped onto the stage of history and began to listen to politics behind the curtain.
At the same time, a wave of officials in the imperial court were promoted and a wave of officials were demoted.
For example, Yan Da, who was next to Empress Yan, was directly promoted to the post of Jin Wu and became the second-rank general of the imperial court.
Yan Da is only in his thirties. In his thirties, he will be a second-rank general of the imperial court. He will be granted the title of general and will become a general again in the future.
Under such circumstances, Cao Su, the "Little Pingxi General", resigned from the post of Baihu of the Jingyao Division, which did not stir up any waves at all.
After Cao Su resigned from the Baihu position in the Jingyao Division, he began to be active in the palace.
It was very easy to catch up with the original Xiao Huangmen Xunzhi.
What Cao Su didn't expect was that Xun Zhi was actually a child of a famous family. He was just a member of a poor family. He grew up in a poor family and had no choice but to enter the palace and become a eunuch.
Later, with a certain amount of knowledge, he stood out from many young eunuchs and gradually became a small eunuch.
During this change in the palace, Xunzhi of Xiaohuangmen went a step further and was promoted to the rank of internal servant.
The internal servant order is equivalent to the largest official in charge of the palace's servants, carriages, and entrance and exit guidance. It is similar to Hai Dafu. One step further is the eunuchs who enter the study room. They can also be called the regular servants.
So Xunzhi's status is not low.
When Cao Su forced a large amount of banknotes to Xun Zhi, Xun Zhi seemed particularly happy.
Eunuchs are inherently insecure professions, but now there is a group of recognized strongmen outside the palace who want to deepen their friendship with him.
The other party was tall, strong, mighty, and full of sincerity. He had no reason to refuse.
