Zhang Xin took the initiative to surrender to Tang Yin and cooperated with An Jian to investigate the frame-up and murder of the ministers headed by Wu Yu. Tang Yin did not want to know the process and specific details of the investigation, he only wanted to see the results, so the power delegated to An Jian was also
It was so big that Cheng Jin felt free to do it boldly.
It was at this time that the reputation of Hidden Arrow really spread in the Feng Kingdom. In this investigation, Hidden Arrow caused a bloody storm. There was no need to have any evidence against the ministers of the DPRK. They were arrested and arrested at will.
After that, various methods were used to torture and confess. Because there were so many people involved and captured by Hidden Arrow, Tang Yin had to allocate a large independent house to Hidden Arrow, which was specially used as a place for Hidden Arrow to be detained and executed. Although this house had no name
No. 1, but those who know the inside story call him a secret house. No matter who he is, as long as he is caught in the secret house, even if he is not dead, he will have to have his skin peeled off.
Backed by Tang Yin, Hidden Arrow is lawless and does whatever he wants. It also makes all the ministers in the court panic and everyone is in danger, fearing that they will wake up in a secret house. However, Hidden Arrow's madness is only used on the ministers of the court.
Ordinary people were not involved, so the outside world only had rumors about hidden attacks, but it did not cause panic among the people.
Wind Palace.
Since becoming the Wind King, Tang Yin's life has become extremely busy. In the past, the government affairs of the country were handled by the court, but now almost all of them fall on him alone. Fortunately, there are Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji and others who can help him. In addition,
He also had a lot of trouble with personnel appointments. There were more than just prime ministers and generals in the court, and there were hundreds of positions, large and small. These all required Tang Yin to think hard about suitable candidates. In addition,
Even his private life is no longer his personal affair. Every move, word, deed, and even dress must follow the rules and be in line with the etiquette of a king.
Now, Tang Yin is standing in the study in plain clothes. There are several palace maids around him to help him measure his figure so that he can customize the monarch's royal robes. At the other end of the study, Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji, Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan are standing in front of him.
Sitting around the desk, the four of them looked uncomfortable.
Tang Yinping stretched out his arms and let the maids measure him. At the same time, he turned his head and said, "I plan to set up a new position in each county, county captain."
Hearing this, Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe, and Zong Yuan looked at each other, but none of them said anything. Shangguan Yuanji has always been in charge of each county. When new positions are established, Shangguan Yuanji also has the most say. Shangguan Yuanji asked in confusion.
: "Your Majesty, the specific powers of this county lieutenant are..."
"Manage the county army." Tang Yin said: "In other words, manage the troops stationed in the capital and in each county." After a pause, he added: "In the future, each county will no longer have its own directly subordinate county army. All armies will be managed by the imperial court.
Unified command. In addition, the county chief will no longer have the power to command and mobilize the army. Even the county lieutenant only has the power to manage the army. To mobilize the army, it must first be reported to the court. Only with the approval of the court can it be done.
But as Yuanji, what do you think?"
Tang Yin was born as a county chief, and he knew how powerful the county chief's power was in the local area. If he took control of the county's army again, once he had the intention of rebellion, there would be endless troubles. He restored the command of the county army to the court and added county captains.
The main purpose of this new position is precisely to divide the authority of the county chief.
Shangguan Yuanji pondered Tang Yin's words and nodded secretly. He felt that Tang Yin's approach was more conducive to the court and local stability. He raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I have seen it clearly, and I think it is feasible."
Seeing that Shangguan Yuanji agreed with his idea, Tang Yin was very happy. He turned around and asked, "Tell me, who is the most suitable person to fill the post of general?"
Hearing this, the expressions of the four of them were all straight. The general is the person in charge of the central army of the country. He is responsible for the country's army and is very important. The candidate must not only be loyal to Tang Yin, but also have super abilities.
Otherwise, like Ziyang Haochun, who sent out troops rashly and killed more than 200,000 Central Army troops in one fell swoop, it may happen again in the future.
Judging from the current generals under Tang Yin's command, Shangguan Yuanrang has the highest voice. Not to mention anything else, but his outstanding spiritual martial arts are enough to make him surpass the others. However, Shangguan Yuanrang is Shangguan Yuanji's relative.
Brother, in order to avoid suspicion, Shangguan Yuanji will naturally not take the initiative to recommend Shangguan Yuanrang, and Qiu Zhen and Zong Yuan also have concerns. Shangguan Yuanji is basically the best choice for the right minister. If Shangguan Yuanrang serves as the general again, then the Shangguan family
The power was too great. The Shangguan family occupied two of the three first-class official positions at once. Neither Qiu Zhen nor Zong Yuan wanted to see this happen.
Qiu Zhen rolled his eyes and said: "General Yuan Rang is brave and good at fighting. He is the leader of the three armies and unrivaled. He is certainly the best candidate for the general. However, General Yuan Rang's character is too strong and upright. It is easy to
He acted out of emotion, so..." Qiu Zhen didn't finish his words, but the meaning was very obvious, Shangguan Yuanrang was not suitable to be a general.
Shangguan Yuanji sat aside and did not express his position, with a very calm expression on his face. Regarding Qiu Zhen's statement, Shangguan Yuanji felt really uncomfortable, but from the bottom of his heart, he did not really want Shangguan Yuanrang to be the general.
After all, he has a high position and is easily hated by others. With Yuan Rang's personality that does not allow for tact and flexibility, becoming a general may not be a good thing.
Tang Yin looked at Qiu Zhen, then quietly went to Guan Yuanji, without immediately expressing his position. Seeing that the palace maid had finished measuring for him, he waved his hand and said, "You all go down first!"
"Yes! Your Majesty! Please leave!" Several palace maids expressed their blessings and silently exited the study. After they left, Tang Yin looked at Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan again and asked: "Zhang Zhe, Zong Yuan, you two
What do you mean?"
Zhang Zhe is the most selfless among the counselors. He will say whatever he wants. He smiled at Tang Yin and said: "General Yuan Rang's character is a bit domineering and straightforward, but if there is someone around to help, with General Yuan Rang's ability,
Being a general is more than enough. In addition, since General Yuan Rang debuted, he has conquered the world without any rivals, and his prestige in the army has been surpassed by no one. His prestige has spread all over the world, and General Yuan Rang will serve as our Dafeng.
A great general can intimidate disloyal ministers internally, and intimidate other countries externally, and strengthen the power of my country with strong winds."
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded while listening. After Zhang Zhe finished speaking, he looked at Zong Yuan again.
Zong Yuan rolled his eyes and said: "After years of fighting, our country has become empty. Especially in the past two years, civil strife has continued and the country's power has been greatly consumed. Now that the king has ascended the throne, it is the time to recuperate and recuperate, and we should not fight anymore.
Foreign enemies are at war. What Mr. Zhang Zhe said is correct. General Yuan Rang can indeed deter foreign enemies. However, it can also easily trigger panic and hostility in neighboring countries. If Ning and Mozambique join forces,
If you come to fight against the strong wind, the situation will be extremely pessimistic!"
Tang Yin nodded and continued: "What Zong Yuan said is exactly what I am concerned about. You can discuss it and see if it is necessary to establish the post of general again?" After speaking, Tang Yin sat down at his desk.
In front of me, I picked up the teacup as if nothing had happened and drank tea slowly.
He said it in an understatement, but everyone was shocked. From what Tang Yin meant, it was obvious that he wanted to abolish the post of general. Since the establishment of the Haotian Empire, neither the imperial court nor the vassal states had ever abolished the post of general.
The precedent for the position of general, this... this is so unexpected.
The removal of the post of general was not a whim of Tang Yin's, but a matter of careful consideration. In his opinion, the military power of the country should be in the hands of the monarch, and only in this way is it safest. As for the general
, it is actually a hidden threat to the monarch.
Moreover, the history he was familiar with also told him that generals only appeared in the period when the uniforms of the dynasty were not yet perfect, and there were many hidden dangers, and mutinies often came from this.
After a long while, Qiu Zhen and others came to their senses. They looked at each other in confusion. Finally, Qiu Zhen said, "What does the king mean...to abolish the position of general?"
Tang Yin put down the tea cup, deliberately showed joy on his face, and said with a smile: "Why, Qiu Zhen, do you think this is feasible?"
When did I say it was feasible? Qiu Zhen is not a fool. Tang Yin has shown his emotions so clearly. If he can no longer see through Tang Yin's thoughts, then he is not Qiu Zhen.
He was slightly startled, stood up, bowed and saluted: "I also feel that there is no need for the general to exist anymore. Rather than leaving this vacant position and wasting a large sum of salary from the imperial court, it is better to abolish it as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zong Yuan stood up and said, "What Mr. Qiu said is absolutely true! Generals are only used by those monarchs who cannot lead troops to fight, but the king is a veritable monarch on horseback.
Tao's military strategies are all outstanding, so naturally he does not need the assistance of a general."
Tang Yin raised his head and smiled, then looked at Shangguan Yuanji and Zhang Zhe, waiting for them to express their stance.
Although Shangguan Yuanji and Zhang Zhe felt that this was a bit hasty, it was not a big problem. Shangguan Yuanji said: "The ministers have no objections." Zhang Zhe said: "If our country does not have the position of general, I am afraid that other people will be affected.
The ridicule and contempt of all nations.”
Tang Yin squinted his eyes and said faintly: "If you want to win the respect of other countries, you can't just rely on a few famous generals, but you have to rely on this!" As he spoke, he raised his fist and waved it vigorously.
, said with a sneer: "As long as our fists are strong enough and our military strength is strong enough, who will dare to despise me again?"
Zhang Zhe was shaken and hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty is wise!"
The post of general of the Feng Kingdom was abolished in a few words between Tang Yin and his subordinates. In addition, because of the lessons learned from the Sanshui Army, Tang Yin took back all the military symbols in the hands of the commanders of the armies, but not all.
But take half back.
He ordered the military talisman to be remade. This time the military talisman was separated from the center. The commander-in-chief of each army kept half, and Tang Yin kept the other half. From now on, the commander-in-chief of each army would only have the right to manage each army, but not to mobilize them.
To mobilize the army, you must apply to Tang Yin. After Tang Yin's approval, you can get the other half of the military talisman and combine them into one to mobilize the army.
