The first thousand seven hundred and eighteenth chapters
"Privy Envoy, Privy Envoy.∷"
When the drunkard saw Li Qi sweating profusely and silent, as if something big was about to happen, he felt a little scared and shouted a few words in a low voice.
Li Qi was startled, glared at the drunkard, and almost wanted to roar: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? Remember I asked you."
The drunkard scratched his head and said awkwardly: "I thought Wang Fu was dead at the time, and there was nothing more to say. Besides, the handle Wang Fu mentioned is not a trivial matter---."
The implication of this is that I am also worried about being killed and silenced.
Li Qi sneered: "Drunkard, I really underestimated you. You are more complicated than I thought. If I didn't trust you, would I have sent you there?"
The drunkard said: "It is one thing to kill people and silence them, but it is not a good thing to know this secret. At that time, the Supreme Emperor was still sitting on the dragon chair." He said with a puzzled look on his face: "Privy Councilor, now this is a done deal. At the beginning, it was a done deal.
The third prince has already ascended the throne, the world is at peace, everything should be fine!"
Li Qi snorted: "If that were not the case, I would have just asked you if you would still hide it."
The drunkard remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Li Qi pinched his eyes and said, "This time I was killed by you."
The drunkard asked nervously: "What happened?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "What? Now you have the courage to know again."
The drunkard said displeasedly: "If it's my fault, I will definitely bear it, but you can at least let me know why."
Li Qi waved his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, I can't blame you. Maybe it's Wang Fu's ghost who is causing trouble." He is not a person who likes to question the guilt afterwards. If he questions the drunkard now, nothing will change. Besides,
The drunkard just wants to protect himself and has no ill intentions. This can only be attributed to God's will.

"Privy Councilor, you are looking for me."
Ma Qiao came to the front yard reluctantly.
Li Qi glanced at Ma Qiao and said seriously: "Ma Qiao, I don't want to disturb your wedding with Meimei, but now your life is at stake. If you still want to marry Meimei for a hundred years, then cheer up for me.
, I’m not kidding you.”
Seeing that Li Qi's expression was very serious, Ma Qiao knew that Li Qi didn't scare him on purpose, so he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"Don't worry about it for now."
Li Qidao: "Go and tell Yu Zhuang immediately. Ask him to mobilize all the people and closely monitor everything inside and outside the capital. If there is any trouble, please notify me immediately. Remember, don't let anyone notice."
Ma Qiao opened his eyes. Although he didn't know what was going on, he saw that Li Qi, who had always been a strategist, showed such a panic expression, and realized that something was wrong. He said hurriedly: "Yes, I will go now.
"With that said, he left quickly.
Li Qi rubbed his face and said to himself, Wang Fu, Wang Fu. At that time, I should have sent you to the eighteenth level of hell, so that you would never be able to stand up again. I would have exhausted all my mechanisms. If I defeated you, I would be killed by a dead man. I really
He will die with his eyes open even more than you.

...
The next day!
Li Qi entered the palace early to attend the morning court.
Inside the main hall, there was a solemn and solemn atmosphere.
After the usual questioning, Qin Hui suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have a note to write."
Zhao Kai said: "Ai Qing, what can I ask you to do?"
Qin Hui said: "Reporting to the emperor, although the country is now at peace, the border of the Song Dynasty is not very peaceful. The south is not yet completely stable, the southern expedition has not ended, the west has regained Tubo, and the Song Dynasty is implementing military reform.
Large-scale military changes will undoubtedly add a lot of pressure to the Privy Council."
As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the palace cheered up. As we all know, the second government has always been a well-educated person. However, when Qin Hui came up, he pointed out to the Privy Council that in view of the grievances between Qin Hui and Li Qi, he was obviously the right person.
It was for Li Qi.
However, they were used to this kind of thing, and they all looked like they were watching a good show.
In the past, Li Qi was calm and calm when facing Qin Hui's impeachment, but today he frowned secretly and showed no expression on his face.
Zhao Kai quickly glanced at Li Qi, nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."
Qin Hui continued: "However, only the Privy Councilor is in charge of the Privy Council, and the Privy Councilor has to take care of the reform. Wei Chen thinks this is really unfair to the Privy Councilor."
Bai Qiannuo couldn't bear it and stood up and said: "Qin Shaozai, it is natural that the Privy Council is in charge of the Privy Council. This is also the responsibility of the Privy Council. It would be inappropriate to describe it as fair. You are not
Are you implying that the Privy Councilor failed to take care of the Privy Council?"
Qin Hui said hurriedly: "Don't blame the economic officials, I have no intention of doing so."
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "The economic officer is overly worried. I think Qin Shaozai is just being kind."
Bai Qiannuo was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Kai in surprise, then saluted and said, "Yes, I am aware of my guilt."
Zhao Kai chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
After Bai Qiannuo retired, Qin Hui said again: "The Privy Council is one of the two offices of our dynasty, and its importance can be imagined. However, since the Privy Council took office, the position of Deputy Privy Council has not been found for a long time.
The choice of a good candidate means that this burden falls entirely on the shoulders of the Privy Councilor, and it also adds a lot of burden to the emperor. Once the Privy Councilor wants to lead troops on an expedition, no one in the Privy Council will make the decision, and the emperor must personally arrange this.
It’s not a long-term solution.”
Zhao Kai bowed his head for a moment and said: "I have also thought about this issue, but in view of the previous two privy envoys, I really can't trust anyone. Except for the privy envoys, I don't trust anyone! However, I don't have any worries at the moment.
Finding a good candidate can only make the Privy Envoy work harder." As he said that, he suddenly said to Li Qi: "Privy Envoy, what do you think?"
Li Qi stood up and said: "To report back to the emperor, the state has national laws and the family has family rules. I also feel that this is inappropriate. It is because of this that I am often too tired to get up in the morning and cannot come to the morning court. It's really
His crime deserves death."
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "Don't blame yourself if you love me. If others can be like you, able to share your worries and achieve so many wonderful achievements, I can also approve him not to come to the morning court, but I don't want you either."
I have worked too hard, and Aiqing’s body is my blessing to the Song Dynasty. Well, it’s time to find someone to share some of the burden for you, Aiqing. Is there a suitable candidate for Aiqing?”
Li Qi pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Wei Chen doesn't have a suitable candidate."
Zhao Kai then said to the ministers: "My dear friends, if you have a suitable candidate, you can recommend it to me."
Li Gang suddenly stood up and said: "Wei Chen proposed that Zongze, the magistrate of Yanshan Prefecture, has both civil and military skills. In terms of reputation, talent and learning, he is qualified for the job."
"Zongze is indeed a very good candidate."
Zhao Kai nodded and said: "But Yanshan Mansion is very important to us in the Song Dynasty. Zongze has taken care of Yanshan Mansion in an orderly manner. I don't want to make any changes to this."
Seeing Qin Hui's complacency, Bai Qiannuo's eyes swayed slightly, and he stood up and said, "Wei Chen suggested that Han Shizhong be appointed as the deputy privy envoy."
As soon as this statement came out, many people immediately refuted it.
Han Shizhong was a military officer, which was a big taboo for the Privy Council. Currently, only Di Qing, one of the military generals, had served as deputy privy envoy, which was the highest level a military commander could reach.
Bai Qiannuo argued rationally: "Don't forget, everyone. The Privy Councilors were also born as military officers, but they have achieved outstanding results. Looking at the Privy Councilors of the past generations, there is only one person who has achieved the results of the Privy Councilors today. And General Han
His military talents are obvious to everyone. In this case, there is nothing wrong with General Han serving as the Deputy Privy Envoy."
Qin Hui chuckled and said: "The economic situation is wrong. Although the Privy Councilor comes from Sanya, everyone knows that. For the Privy Councilor, Sanya is just a shortcut to enter the official career, which really allows the Privy Councilor to shine.
It is the Bureau of Commerce, and when people all over the world mention the Privy Councilor, they always refer to them as the Prime Minister and the father of businessmen. No one has ever mentioned Vice Marshal Ma and Commander Bu, so it can be seen that the Privy Councilor cannot be regarded as a general.
It should also be attributed to civil servants."
Having said this, he paused and continued: "And the economic envoys must not forget that this reform of the military system has a very important central idea, which is to continue the tradition of our dynasty. Although there is no explicit provision, the emperor and the privy council
The envoys, including all civil and military officials, hope that the Privy Council will continue the tradition of employing literati, which is why the General Staff was born.
The economic envoy is right. If we look at the past system, civil servants serving as privy envoys do have disadvantages that cannot be ignored, and once they are wrong, it will cause very serious consequences, just because civil servants do not know how to fight and cannot make the final decision in response to the current situation.
The correct choice, and even the wrong judgment, led to heavy losses for our army.
But the current military system has made up for this very well. The Privy Council is only responsible for military orders. The real strategies and tactical arrangements all come from the General Staff Department, and the ministers who lead the troops also come from the General Staff Department. There is one more important thing.
, that is, anyone who is lucky enough to enter the General Staff is a person who is good at fighting. This can make up for the shortcomings of civil servants, and the highest level of military commanders has also changed from the former deputy privy minister to the current general.
Deputy Chief of Staff."
The minister is held by the emperor. This system was agreed upon by Zhao Kai and Li Qi. They both agreed that military generals cannot be in power because governing the country comes first and military generals cannot govern the country. If you let military generals govern the country, the world will be in chaos.
It would even seriously endanger the imperial power. However, if the army was led entirely by civil servants, it would be necessary to cut off both arms. Therefore, Li Qi and Zhao Kai thought of using the General Staff to balance the civil and military sides and clearly divide the responsibilities of the two sides. You
The military generals lead the troops in battle, lay out tactics and strategies. During the war, I will hand over the military power to you. But after the battle is over, if you still want to hold on to the military power, then you must have other intentions. If not, then I will
You haven't lost anything by taking it back.
As for generals not knowing their soldiers, and soldiers not knowing their generals, this shortcoming has been perfectly resolved by military exercises.
It can be seen from this that using culture to control force is still one of the national policies.
Civil servants will not rebel, but military officers will.
Although Qin Hui did not participate in this system, Qin Hui had a keen sense of any political matters and he had already analyzed them thoroughly.
Whether Qin Hui is a genius or not is another matter for the time being, but Qin Hui is definitely a very hard-working person. The success of the Song Dynasty in the world is not due to Li Qi alone. Qin Hui, as the young prime minister, also plays an important role.
But Qiniang can't let Qiniang talk anymore, otherwise it will be wrong. Li Qi sighed secretly, stood up and said with a smile: "What Qin Shaozai said is very good. If not, what is the point of the General Staff? Besides,
For military generals to enter the Privy Council, it is a waste of talent. However, if military generals enter the General Staff, their talents will be fully utilized. This is the main reason why I proposed the General Staff."
