Yue Yun left, and Liu Chan felt that he had said everything he could say and done everything he could do.
If the Yue family really threatens the imperial power in the future, don't blame him for being ruthless, don't blame him for being ruthless.
Liu Chan glanced at Zhao Yuan next to him again: "How are you doing? What do you think?"
Zhao Yuan looked puzzled, but still said: "Father is so kind to Yue Fei and his son."
Liu Chan sighed, scolding trash in his heart, and explained on his face: "I am telling you that an emperor should not only know how to engage in machinations, but also know how to treat others with sincerity. Like today, with those
Wouldn't it be nice to make it clear to those who may pose a threat? If you are a loyal person, you will definitely change your mind after you return; if you are a rebellious person, if you really rebel in the future, no wonder we will be ruthless. After all, conspiracy is just a trivial matter.
If you think you can become a good emperor just by relying on this, then you'd better give up as soon as possible."
"My son understands."
I don’t know why the emperors of the Song Dynasty liked to play tricks so much. But despite all the tricks, the Song Dynasty did not become stronger. But even so, they kept playing tricks!
Obviously strength and sincerity should come first!
I think back then, when Liu Chan was in Shu, there was no need to do these things. Everyone got together based on loyalty and dreams, and they didn't do anything that they had or didn't have.
His father could even go so far as to attack Jiangdong in anger for his brothers, thereby giving up his ideal of unifying the Central Plains.
In the Wei State at the same time as the Shu State, when Cao Cao was there, the civil servants and generals gathered together because of loyalty. Needless to say, Cao Cao's fighting ability made the Wei State stronger.
After Cao Cao passed away, the descendants below him would only continue to engage in political intrigues and political struggles. In the end, the Sima family actually picked the fruit, and no one missed them.
How ridiculous!
The last person Liu Chan met was Qin Hui. He didn't want Zhao Yuan to hear their conversation because it was all about political intrigue.
I just told Zhao Yuan that tactics are not important, and then I talk about tactics with others, which may affect Zhao Yuan.
But after thinking about it, Liu Chan still let Zhao Yuan continue to stay here.
There are some things that Zhao Yuan must know, otherwise it will not be good if he is too ignorant when he succeeds to the throne.
"I see your Majesty."
"Get up."
"How is Jin Wushu doing?"
"It has been secretly imprisoned. The person responsible for the detention has been carefully examined by me. There is absolutely no problem."
On the surface, Jin Wushu had been executed in accordance with the wishes of the Jin Kingdom, but in fact, he had been imprisoned elsewhere at Liu Chan's instruction, preparing to get information about the Jin Kingdom from him.
"How is it? Has he confessed?"
"No, even if I told him that the Jin Kingdom wanted to get rid of him, he still refused to say a word."
"I didn't expect that this person is really tough. It's a pity that Jin Guo actually gave up on him."
Liu Chan thought for a moment: "Where is his son? Why don't you tell him when you see his son?"
"No, according to the Imperial City Secretary's investigation, this child was hidden in Bianliang in order to prevent the emperor from killing him if he failed to seize the throne. That won't happen now, and he naturally doesn't care about his son's life or death.
"
"Well, you go down and send someone to tell Jin Wushu later. If he doesn't tell the truth, I will train his son to be a weapon of hatred for the Jin Kingdom. I will tell him that his parents were killed by the Jin people, and
He was rescued by the people of Song Dynasty. His parents told his adoptive mother before his death that he should never forget to take revenge on the Kingdom of Jin throughout his life. Haha, I think Jin Wushu will be very happy after hearing this."
Qin Hui and Zhao Yuan shuddered. They didn't expect Liu Chan to be so cruel. This was much crueler than killing someone.
"I obey the decree."
"I recruited you this time for another matter. What do you think of the Yue Family Army?"
"General Yue is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and the Yue family's army is even more brave and good at fighting."
Liu Chan and Zhao Yuan both rolled their eyes at Qin Hui. There is indeed nothing wrong with this, but when it comes from Qin Hui's mouth, it is very problematic.
"I don't like the title Yue Jiajun."
Liu Chan said directly and frankly, the Yue Family Army, the Yue Family Army, does this army belong to Yue Fei or the country?
"His Majesty wants to rectify the army."
"Yes, the central government's control over local armies has been greatly weakened. If no response is taken, the disaster of the Tang Dynasty feudal towns may happen again."
Indeed, due to the wars in the early Southern Song Dynasty, military power was very chaotic, and there was a faint tendency for local armies to disobey the imperial orders.
At present, Liu Chan has just led an army to defeat the Kingdom of Jin, regained his homeland, and his prestige has been greatly improved. It is the best opportunity to rectify the army. If you miss this time, you don't know when the next one will be.
"The local army has been like this for more than ten years. It is easy to change the title, but the military system is probably very difficult."
The main reason is that there are no generals willing to be friends with Qin Hui, so he has no one to talk to in the army. What's more, the army is full of arrogant and powerful generals. For example, the last time he met a Weijun soldier in Bianliang
The soldiers did not dismount their horses and salute when they saw him.
"The military system must be changed. I plan to select a group of outstanding students from Imperial College to join the army and be responsible for managing soldiers."
Civil officials restrain military commanders, Qin Hui thought to himself, it seems Liu Chan still intends to do this.
When Liu Chan saw Qin Hui's expression, he knew that he was wrong, and explained: "These students are not sent to the army to command the army in war, but to propagate ideas to the soldiers, to serve the country, and to conquer the Jin Kingdom."
of."
Only then did Qin Hui understand, and then he raised another difficult question: "But, those students may not be willing to be sent down to the army like this."
"In this way, we will design a set of official positions for them in the army. The official rank is half a level higher than the generals of the same level, but they must obey the generals' command on how to fight. In addition, these students of the same level will use the strength of the army to fight
Distinguishing and being able to fight is the last word.”
In this case, the status of civil servants is still higher than that of military generals, and the ministers of the court will not object too much. Moreover, how can you win the battle if you don't hand over command rights to military generals? Qin Hui thinks that the plan is quite feasible, but only the soldiers in the army
There are still some problems there.
"Your Majesty, if the military system is activated, those generals who have official positions will probably cause chaos."
"Introducing a military title system in the army will greatly improve the treatment of soldiers. The same is true for civilian officials who hold positions in the army. Go back and discuss with Prime Minister Zhao and come up with a plan. It must be implemented throughout the country this year."
"yes."
"What's the situation like now in the Kingdom of Jin?"
"Jin Wushu was captured, the power of the main war faction was greatly reduced, and the Jin Kingdom was all under the control of Wanyan Sheng. Currently, the Jin Kingdom is undergoing a large-scale sinicization reform and recuperating, but it will not last for a few decades. I am afraid it will be difficult to
recover."
"Ha, if they are like this, even if another hundred years pass, they will not be able to recover." Liu Chan laughed sarcastically. The Jin Kingdom's sinicization reforms were completely copied from the Song Dynasty.
But now the Song Dynasty is reforming its own system. If you still copy it, who will die if you don't?
