Chapter 1,414 The Ministry of War wants to seize power!
Changsun Wuji's eyes were about to burst, and he exclaimed: "The traitor is so brave! How dare you shake the world?"
Then he faced His Majesty Li Er, pointed his halberd at Fang Jun with one hand, and shouted: "This beast has ulterior motives and intends to destabilize the country. I beg your Majesty to kill him immediately to set the course for justice!"
There was an exclamation in the hall, and all the ministers looked at Fang Jun, who looked calm, and thought to themselves, could this man really not know how to write the word "death"?
Only the generals were shocked, but their eyes were playful and their expressions were tangled...
Is it Changsun Wuji who is making a fuss out of a molehill and making slanderous remarks?
Not really.
In the third year of Daye, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty reformed the military system.
"Change the left and right guards to the left and right Yi guards, the left and right guards to the left and right cavalry guards, and the left and right Wuwei still have the same name. Change the leading army to the left and right Tun guards, add left and right guards, change the left and right Wuhou to the left and right guards, and it is called the Twelve Guards.
He also changed the name of the Left and Right Mansion to the Left and Right Preparation Mansion, and the left and right prison gates were still named "Fan Sixteen Mansion".
This is the origin of the Sixteen Guards.
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it immediately began to set up military institutions. In the second year of Emperor Wude's reign, while restoring equalization of land and formulating the system of renting and renting Yong, he also ordered the establishment of a military mansion based on the Sui system: "At the beginning, a military mansion was set up, with hussars and chariots and cavalry.
The general will lead it." Since the war was not over at that time, military headquarters were only set up in the relatively stable Guanzhong area, and Guanzhong was divided into twelve provinces, each with its own army. They were given honorary titles to strengthen the military's power.
For example, the Wannian Road is the Banner Army, the Chang'an Road is the Drum Banner Army, the Jingzhou Road is the Tianji Army... the list goes on.
After Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty came to the throne, he immediately began to reform the military system and divided the country into ten states including Guannei, Henan, Hebei, Hedong, Shannan, Longyou, Huainan, Jiangnan, Jiannan, and Lingnan, with a total of more than 300 states. The military power was concentrated in the center.
There are sixteen guards, each with their own subordinates and checks and balances on each other. Except for the left and right prison guards and the left and right Qianniu guards, the other twelve guards all command the soldiers of the internal and external palaces.
The most important task of the government soldiers is to guard the capital, which is mostly performed by the government soldiers from Guannai, Henan and Hedong provinces who are closer to the capital. The number of government soldiers from these provinces has accounted for one-third of the total number of government soldiers in the country.
2 or more. In addition to staying in the imperial palace, his responsibilities are also responsible for the security of the princes' palaces, various government offices and the capital's security inspections.
Therefore, the total number of troops near the capital has accounted for more than half of the country's military strength.
However, since ancient times, kings have been deeply jealous of military power. They not only want to control military power in order to secure the throne, but also control and balance it to appease the world.
As the saying goes, a single move can affect the whole body. Fang Jun's suggestion that the Sixteenth Guards participate in natural disaster rescue means that there must be a force that breaks the current balance, destroys the stable structure, and lays hidden dangers for the security of the capital.
What's more, soldiers are the most deadly weapon of the country. Once the army moves around the capital, who knows whether it will be used and controlled by rebellious officials and traitors?
The Yin Jian of Xuanwu Sect has not gone far yet...
However, the generals thought differently from the civilian officials.
Power is the supreme interest that every official has been pursuing tirelessly. In the military system of the Tang Dynasty, as long as it is not in wartime, the promotion and promotion of generals are assessed in the Ministry of War, the mobilization and training of troops and logistics supplies are in the political hall, and the tiger talisman and military talisman are in the emperor's hands.
In hand... no one will feel willing to do so.
Without these powers, how can one demonstrate one's status and establish prestige among the army?
Everyone wants power, especially Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, Zhang Shigui and others who have served His Majesty Li Er for many years and have made outstanding achievements, but they dare to publicly remonstrate with His Majesty in the Taiji Hall like Fang Jun and order the troops to leave their garrison and provide disaster relief...
It is truly unprecedentedly bold.
His Majesty Li Er was sitting on the throne. The light in the palace was a little dark, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly. He could only hear his calm voice saying slowly: "Soldiers are the most deadly weapons of the country. Fang Aiqing's advice
Regardless of whether it is feasible or not, I would like to ask you, how can you make the troops who have left the garrison stick to their duties and only focus on their orders?"
It's okay to let the troops go out to provide disaster relief, but how to prevent these troops from actually going to provide disaster relief, instead of pretending to attack Guo and conspiring to rebel?
Fang Jun is confident: "The troops participating in disaster relief can, on the one hand, rescue the victims in time and increase the people's attachment to the court. On the other hand, they can also take the opportunity to pull the troops out for field exercises, which is much better than just making up stories in the military camp. Since it is disaster relief,
What is needed is manpower, and the troops participating in the disaster relief can be ordered not to take a single soldier or armor out of the military camp, but just wear civilian clothes and rush to the disaster area with bare hands."
The scale of smelting is extremely small these days. Even if the Fang family and the Changsun family, the two largest iron smelting families in the Tang Dynasty, join forces, it is impossible for them to have the ability to equip an army with weapons and armor in a short period of time. Without armor,
An army of weapons and arrows is like a toothless tiger. Even if it really has ulterior motives, what can it accomplish?
His Majesty Li Er pondered for a moment, and someone among the generals stood up and said: "I think that the advice of the Fang Shilang may be feasible."
Changsun Wuji was immediately furious: "Fang Jun has ulterior motives. Are you, Cheng Zhijie, an old fool? The Sixteenth Guards and the capital are the cornerstones of the stability of the empire. How can we act rashly? Once used by someone with ulterior motives, it will surely lead to chaos in the country."
It’s such a catastrophic disaster, and you all will die without being able to atone for your sins!”
Cheng Yaojin laughed and retorted: "Although we are just ordinary people, we are all generals who have followed His Majesty for many years. I dare not say how much we have contributed, but our bravery and loyalty can be seen in the sun and the moon! There are some people who are not strict in their upbringing.
It’s really ridiculous to be ridiculed by the world for being evil, yet you can still raise your arms and shout with a righteous look!”
Of course he was talking about Changsun Chong's rebellion...
Changsun Wuji's beard was splayed, his eyes were red, and he stood up angrily, saying angrily: "Old man Cheng, how dare you bully me like this? I will never stand against you!"
When his son took the wrong path, not only was his life ruined and his family unable to return, but his eldest grandson Wuji also lost his face. If His Majesty Li Er hadn't been broad-minded and remembered the past achievements of his eldest grandson's family, he would also have been thinking of Wende.
The queen's love as husband and wife may lead to a lighter fate if the three clans are killed...
Therefore, Changsun Chong's rebellion is already Changsun Wuji's rebellion. Whoever touches him will be anxious!
But how could Cheng Yaojin be afraid of him?
He immediately stood forward, his eyes as wide as copper bells, his fists as big as an iron bowl clenched, staring at Changsun Wuji without giving in: "I am just telling the truth, is it possible that your eldest son's family can do it, and so and so can't?
Come on, come on, don't let me bully you and give you one hand, let's make some gestures on top of this hall and see if I can beat you to the point where you have teeth all over the floor!"
Changsun Wuji was about to go crazy. Ever since he followed His Majesty Li Er to compete in the world, had he ever been so angry? He was so angry that he stood up and was about to fight Cheng Yaojin. The ministers around him were so frightened that they quickly pulled him away.
live.
Although Changsun Wuji came from a family of military generals and could mount a horse to kill the enemy, how could he defeat Cheng Yaojin, who was the most brave warrior in the army?
Cheng Yaojin is a well-known demon king. If Changsun Wuji were beaten up by him in the Tai Chi Hall, he would probably not be able to live without shame...
The ministers around him held Changsun Wuji tightly. Gao Shilian frowned and scolded Cheng Yaojin: "Now that we are all important ministers of the imperial court and the pillars of the empire, how can we behave like a reckless man in the market? We really have no decency!"
Before Cheng Yaojin spoke, Yuchi Jingde behind him said quietly: "In the court, everyone naturally expresses his or her own opinion. Since there are differences, quarrels of words are inevitable. What's more, now we are discussing whether the advice of the Chamberlain is feasible.
, Zhao Guogong is so angry that he hurts others, so why should Shen Guogong be partial to him?"
These words made Gao Shilian very angry. It was clearly Cheng Yaojin, a tough guy, who was making trouble for other people's families, and now he was attacking him again?
His Majesty Li Er knocked on the imperial desk, but he was not too angry and said calmly: "Be calm and don't be impatient. Fang Aiqing, please tell me how this so-called 'emergency command yamen' should be structured and how it should operate?"
Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian and others were all shocked, secretly thinking something bad was going to happen!
His Majesty was actually persuaded by Fang Jun...
Fang Jun's eyes lit up and he immediately started talking: "Disaster relief is complicated and complex. The Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Chang Pingcang will naturally all be involved. The Ministry of Punishment can also send officials to investigate whether there was any negligence of duty before and after the disaster.
It is an act of corruption and perversion of the law. When a natural disaster occurs, all ministries will allocate capable personnel to form a temporary government office, with His Majesty centrally controlling and dispatching. This will surely minimize the losses of the natural disaster. As for the gathering and deployment of disaster relief forces and the assignment of tasks, the Ministry of War is naturally responsible.
, under the command of His Majesty, we will do our best to rescue the victims, promote the power of our Tang army, and let the people of the world see that our army is an invincible army that is victorious in every battle on the battlefield. When it comes to the disaster area, it is brave and loyal to the people.
