Chapter 726 Restless General

The political hall has two basic tasks:

The first is to handle affairs according to the emperor's edict, and the second is to provide suggestions on government affairs.

Wei Zheng stood up and glared at Wu Huaiyu, "You are doing harm to the country. Can't you recuperate and let the world live in peace for a few days?"

While Wu Huaiyu was sorting out the minutes of the meeting, he said to Wei Zheng rudely, "Prime Minister Wei, do we want to leave these things to future generations? If we don't solve them now that we have the ability, we have to drag them into trouble for our henchmen?"

Wei Zheng sighed, "If you can't rush, running a big country is like cooking small dishes. Rushing for quick success and quick benefits will lead to endless disasters. Have you forgotten Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty? How eager for quick success and quick benefits was his dream of a great cause, and how did he let the former Sui Dynasty succeed?

After the emperor flourished, the second generation died?"

Each has its own reason.

Wei Zheng was very scared, fearing that the stability that had finally been restored would become chaotic again. So he would rather walk slower and more steadily. He even made a request, "Erlang, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry,

We are only thirty today, the Spring and Autumn Period is at its peak, and there is still a lot of time, so take your time."

Wu Huaiyu shook his head.

"Xiang Wei, this is not something to be done in a hurry, but something that must be done. The time is actually completely ripe for the imperial court to take action in Lingnan affairs. This is an attitude, not anything else."

Lingnan, Nanzhong, Central Guizhou, Western Regions, and Liaodong must be solved step by step.

These places are even different from the Mobei Grassland.

Wen Yanbo put away the written notes in front of him with an expressionless expression. Although he and Wei Zheng had completely different political opinions on how to settle the Turks at first, they also had many conflicts later.

But this time, they all stood on one side and believed that it was inappropriate for the imperial court to carry out a large-scale attack on Lingnan.

It is good to maintain the original stability of Lingnan, but why should we take the risk of chaos in Lingnan and station troops? It will cost military expenses and is not a good thing.

He looked at Fang Xuanling. This Fang counselor only had a smile on his face. This guy was the most trusted by the emperor, but Wen Yanbo looked down on him. He felt that he never seemed to have any opinions of his own. He was just the emperor's yes-man.

the butler,

Everything must be arranged by the emperor. As long as the emperor arranges it, he will handle it in full accordance with his will.

"We will not agree to this matter."

Wei Zheng said and left.

Wu Huaiyu just smiled at the other prime ministers and then went out.

It doesn't really matter whether Wei Zhengtong disagrees, or whether Wen Yanbo disagrees. Although one of them is Zhongshu Ling and the other is Shizhong,

But the existence of the political hall has actually deprived many of the rights of the three provinces.

What is the significance of the establishment of the Political Hall?

It means to bring together the three provinces that were originally separated, not only to make plans, but the most important thing is to put together the edicts and deliberation.

Of course Wen Yanbo could reject the imperial edict, and Wei Zheng could also reject it.

But the Zhengshitang is a joint office meeting of prime ministers. The emperor can attend when necessary. If an edict is not passed, the emperor can ask the prime ministers to gather for discussion and further discussion.

There must be sufficient reasons for the objection.

Wu Huaiyu had his own office in the Menxia Provincial Political Affairs Hall, but he did not stay here much after the meeting. He currently has no ministry in the three provinces.

After leaving the palace, he went straight to the East Palace and visited the prince first. Speaking of his current positions, the prince's young master, the director of the East Palace Army, the head of the Chongxian Palace, and the bachelor of the Chongxian Palace were actually all

East Palace position.

He also holds the title of concurrent major in national history.

After chatting with the prince for a while, he went to Zuowei's Mansion in Yanxi Gate of the Imperial City opposite the East Palace.

In the yamen of Zuo Wei's command house, there was his public room, which was the office of the superintendent Donggong Bingma, and he was even assigned with subordinates.

When he came here, he just walked around, drank a cup of tea, met with the military attachés from the Sixth and Fourth Prefectures of the East Palace, and the Third and Fifth Prefectures of the Inner Guards. He said hello and left.

In fact, most of the military attachés working in the East Palace, including the Six Commands, Four Houses, Three Guards and Five Houses, work part-time. For example, Li Daliang, who came back from Liangzhou, Su Lie, who is about to go to Nanzhong, and Cheng Chumo, who is still in Youzhou, all work part-time.

The leadership of the East Palace.

Although they only had a face-to-face meeting, the military attaches on duty in the East Palace today were still very excited. These guys were also well-informed and knew that the imperial court was going to make a big move in Lingnan, even bigger than in Nanzhong.

So I want to go to Lingnan.

At this time, it would be best if the external position can be raised by one and a half levels. You are not afraid of leveling it out. The key is that Lingnan has a chance.

Now Jie Li is drinking and dancing in Chang'an, and the generals have no chance to fight and make meritorious deeds.

However, in the eyes of the Chang'an nobles, the Lingnan barbarians were not worth mentioning at all. Going to Lingnan was just to gain credit.

Besides, I heard that the sea trade in Lingnan has been good in recent years. The sea trade in Guangzhou and Jiaozhou is becoming more and more prosperous. There are also mining and slave hunting. It seems that there is gold and silver everywhere.

Wu Huaiyu now seems to be the representative of the military's young faction,

Although he is young, the achievements he has made along the way are there. He became famous in the first battle of the Longyou Hospital Camp. He went north to Shuofang to defeat the Luo Yi rebellion. In Shuofang, he single-handedly destroyed the capital of Liang. When he arrived in Youzhou, he not only defeated

Beishan Xi also defeated the Turks twice.

Such illustrious military exploits, since the Zhenguan Dynasty, have been as brilliant as Li Jing's.

To many military generals, Li Jingna is already an older generation, just like Qin Qiong is an older generation. Today, military generals regard Wu Huaiyu as a role model.

Wu Huaiyu smiled and comforted these eager East Palace generals. Although he did not agree, he did not reject them completely.

In addition to many of the military attachés in the East Palace working part-time, there are also many who are the children of famous princes and nobles. They serve in the East Palace and are also gold-plated.

Just like when Doulu Huairang was Sima led by the right guard of the East Palace.

These children from well-known families are from noble families, and they are even good at riding and shooting. They may even open their mouths and talk about various military strategies.

They are young and full of passion, but most of them lack experience. They are the ones who are most eager to go to the battlefield to make contributions. Of course, there are also some famous disciples who shout loudly, but in fact they dare not go to the battlefield to fight, just like Dou

Lu Huairang shrank back when he heard about the war.

But even these people also want to go to Lingnan. Firstly, they feel that the barbarians from Lingnan are not worthy of the imperial court. Secondly, because of the family background of many of them, they want to go to Lingnan just to take the opportunity to get promoted, or even go there to pick peaches to gain credit.

, but they may not necessarily need to play if they really fight to the death, they have plenty of ways.

Wu Huaiyu despises such people in his heart, but he does not dislike them on his face. Anyway, in any era, there are such a group of grass roosters everywhere. They may sing the most loudly at ordinary times, thinking they are eagles, but they are actually grass roosters. But they are willing to go to Lingnan.

It's a bad thing.

Moreover, for many little chickens, their fathers, brothers, and even grandfathers and uncles may actually be eagles and wolves.

In fact, most of the generals in the Zhenguan court were the result of hundreds of battles during the founding of the country. They are real battlefield veterans. These guys are naturally hawks, and they are able to fight and dare to fight.

Wu Huaiyu left the imperial city and returned to his home in Xuanyangfang.

As a result, the generals from Chang'an rushed to visit.

They don't even care about avoiding taboos anymore,

Military generals came to visit Prime Minister Wu one after another, and each one of them was straight to the point. When he sat down, he said that Feng An was cowarded and Lingnan had to be dealt with.

Mr. Wu, I am a great general of the third rank. I am willing to go to Lingnan to be a military envoy.

The one who said that I also came from the Prince of Qin's Palace, and now I am also the leader of the army, I am willing to be one of the first batch to go south to Lingnan, whether it is a military envoy or the leader of the army.

The more generals came, the louder their voices became.

Some people even shouted, why should we be polite to those Lingnan barbarians? If we want to come, we will come as a big force, mobilize 100,000 troops, divide the troops into three groups, two by land, and one by sea, kill them at the same time, and plow the entire Lingnan completely.

When the plow is deep, all the insects hiding in the ground will be plowed out.

After we have wiped them all out, we will then garrison troops. Whether we set up military towns, military mansions, or prefectures and counties to organize households and integrate the people, it will all be at our discretion.

Many people say that it is right, it has to be like this, if you can conquer ten levels with one force, you will be able to conquer the top of Mount Tai.

The Turkic Khanate on the grassland has hundreds of thousands of horsemen. We can wipe them out with one blow. What do we have to fear about those raccoon barbarians in Lingnan?

We couldn't spare any time before,

Can they really be allowed to remain emperors of the land?

More and more generals are coming,

These guys really regarded Wu Huaiyu as a military representative and the Wu family as a military salon.

These guys have been sitting around in the yamen of the various guards in Chang'an for a long time. When they see an opportunity, their eyes light up and they don't even care about the distance between the military ministers and the prime ministers.

I just want to get a place from Wu Huaiyu to go south, or if I don’t have the chance to go, I can let the younger members of the clan or the old disciples go.

No one went to Li Jing,

Although Li Jing is now the top boss in the military, Li Jing has always been cautious in his actions, even less so after he became prime minister. He rarely speaks in the political hall. When he returns home from office, he will either accompany his big tiger or accompany him

whisk girl,

It is impossible for ordinary people to enter the gate of Dai Guogong Li Jing.

Although many people think that Wu Huaiyu is a civil servant,

But the military generals all believed that Wu Huaiyu was one of their own. Among the 12th-rank casual generals established in the 7th year of Takeru, Wu Huaiyu now also has the title of general of the army, which is the second-ranked rank among the 12th rank.

Nowadays, among the casual officials in the imperial court, they all have Wen San official rank, and there is no Wu San official rank. Wu Huaiyu has the first rank of Dr. Zuo Guanglu.

The living room of the Wu family was very lively,

Wu Huaiyu simply held a cold dinner and cocktail party. Everyone chatted while eating, and told the public that Wu Shibalang had just been born and the guests came to congratulate him.

"Prime Minister Wu, Lingnan is so big. Each of the six governor's offices only has a military town of 5,000 people. Isn't it too small?"

"Yes, why do we need to select half of the people from Lingnan? Just drag them over from the mainland of the Central Plains. If we drag them all over, there will be 30,000 people."

Others suggested that having three naval forces and three coastal patrols would not be so troublesome, as there would be no enemies at sea if we had a navy.

Simply, there are six governor's offices, and each governor's office plus a military town, each town has 5,000 people, and the twelve towns only have 60,000 people.

Twelve Tongjun Mansion is too few and should be doubled.

Others say that rural regiments should not be established in Lingnan. The native chiefs in Lingnan must be asked to disband all their private soldiers and confiscate their armored crossbows, otherwise there will be no chaos.

Some people also say that the state and county soldiers still have to leave some for them, one thousand and two in the upper state, one thousand in the middle state, 800 in the lower state, 500 in the big county, and 300 in the small county.

Some people say that these state and county soldiers, commanded by Sima in the state and led by county captains in the county, should be uniformly selected and dispatched by Chang'an and should not be left to the local Nanman control.

Every word you say to me is so lively.

Some people even talked and started to divide the territory, from the governor's office to the prefectures and counties, from official positions to trade, mines, etc., these guys were discussing and fighting loudly,

Wu Huaiyu watched all this happily,

Well, these generals are greedy, but isn't it this kind of greed that is the driving force for outward expansion? Lingnan must be driven by such a force.
